Introduction
Tinnitus is a common symptom in which etiology is unclear in a group of patients. Some of anatomic or vascular variations diagnosed on temporal bone computed tomography (CT) has been known to cause tinnitus particulary pulsatile form. Therefore significance of these anatomic variations has not been validated in patients with nonpulsatile tinnitus.

And secondly to assess the relationship between the amount of sigmoid sinus bulging and mastoid emissary vein (MEV), enlargement of those was not evaluated before in tinnitus patients.
