Department of Radiology, University Hospital of Geneva, Switzerland.

We report an intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the skull responsible for transverse sinus compression and presenting with nonpulsatile tinnitus. Plain films and CT both demonstrated the tumour. Cerebral angiography showed best the degree of narrowing of the right transverse sinus, accompanied with turbulent flow probably leading to tinnitus. MRI demonstrated accurately both the tumour and the dural sinus compression. The tumour was totally removed, cranioplasty was performed, and the patient was discharged free of symptoms.

D003392 Cranial Sinuses Large endothelium-lined venous channels situated between the two layers of DURA MATER, the endosteal and the meningeal layers. They are devoid of valves and are parts of the venous system of dura mater. Major cranial sinuses include a postero-superior group (such as superior sagittal, inferior sagittal, straight, transverse, and occipital) and an antero-inferior group (such as cavernous, petrosal, and basilar plexus).

D013701 Temporal Bone Either of a pair of compound bones forming the lateral (left and right) surfaces and base of the skull which contains the organs of hearing. It is a large bone formed by the fusion of parts: the squamous (the flattened anterior-superior part), the tympanic (the curved anterior-inferior part), the mastoid (the irregular posterior portion), and the petrous (the part at the base of the skull).

D014012 Tinnitus A nonspecific symptom of hearing disorder characterized by the sensation of buzzing, ringing, clicking, pulsations, and other noises in the ear. Objective tinnitus refers to noises generated from within the ear or adjacent structures that can be heard by other individuals. The term subjective tinnitus is used when the sound is audible only to the affected individual. Tinnitus may occur as a manifestation of COCHLEAR DISEASES; VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE DISEASES; INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; and other conditions.
