Abstract
Tinnitus is a common complaint in our clinical practice. Although most of the diseases in which tinnitus is a main symptom are related to internal ear, intracranial diseases should not be disregarded because they can lead to severe sequelae and are sometimes even lethal. Tinnitus is classified into two conditions. The one is nonvibrating tinnitus, which includes mainly nervous system diseases involving cranial nerves and brain stem such as acoustic neurinoma, neurovascular compression syndrome, facial nerve palsy and brain stem vascular disorders. The other condition is vibrating tinnitus which includes pulsatile vascular tinnitus such as arterio-venous malformation or fistula, tumors which contain vessels, can be heard by physician. Palatal myoclonus and twitch of stapedial muscle can be also origin of tinnitus of muscular origin. The pathophysiology of the tinnitus of central origin are not well explained. Physicians should be note those diseases as origins of tinnitus.
