Abstract

Because psychogenic tinnitus can be a presentation of a wide range of psychiatric diseases such as anxiety disorders, somatoform and mood disorders, and personality disorders, the presence of tinnitus in the patient in this case can be easily misdiagnosed as her coexisting major depressive disorder. If brain imaging had been the only modality used, this case patient's cervical dissecting pseudoaneurysm would have been overlooked. Examination of carotid pulses and detection of carotid bruits were crucial parts in the diagnosis of the current patient's pseudoaneurysm. © 2015 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
