Pulsatile tinnitus

I have PT and I really hate it. Have been to the ENT doctors, had a ton of tests done. Turns out I have a growth on one of the bones; they can't do surgery to remove the growth because it is too close to the facial nerve that runs down the left side of my face. Such is life; there are far worse things.

Thank you for sharing; I had no idea that my PT was related to the growth in my forehead!
My CT scan showed opacification and bilateral expansion of the frontal sinuses, with underlying osseous changes that indicate relatively increased attenuation and a ground glass appearance, suggesting fibrous dysplasia. The expansion extends downward and is encroaching upon the left side of my forehead.

I will be undergoing a biopsy at the Cleveland Clinic later this week. I will update you after the surgery.
