Abstract
Tinnitus is a challenging condition to manage with no effective treatment. We report a case of lifelong tinnitus present in a patient who was cured with the surgical repair of his coarctation of aorta. The patient was a fit 37-year-old with coarctation of aorta, senserineural deafness and intractable tinnitus. He underwent a thoracotomy and tube by-pass of his coarctation of aorta. A complete relief of his tinnitus and improvement in his hearing was noted postoperatively and confirmed on audiograms. This is the first reported case of tinnitus due to coarctation of aorta relieved by surgical correction of the coarctation.
