      Tinnitus Since:
      3 weeks
      I had an MRI scan done with the following outcome:

      There is a venous angioma/development venous anomaly in the peripheral portion of the right cerebellar hemisphere.
      This is draining into the adjacent transverse sinus.
      There is a prominent arachnoid granulation within the transverse sinus at the site.

      To me it does not sound good, and might be a logical explanation for my pulsatile tinnitus , or is this indeed nothing as mentioned by the specialist?

      Menno, I'm glad you got some test results back, and that at least something was noted. I don't know anything about venous angiomas myself, but I did find this information for you:
      http://www.angiomaalliance.org/pages.aspx?content=71&id=62#.Uuctdpoo5ok

      And this definition of arachnoid granulation:
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoid_granulation

      If you're still concerned, what you could do is take a copy of the MRI (do you have a CD of the scan?) to another specialist for a second opinion. That's what a lot of people do on Whooshers.com. Do you know of another specialist in your area who could interpret the MRI for you?
