Abstract

Aim: Atherosclerosis is a disease affecting the intimas of arteries. We aimed to investigate the presence of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with tinnitus as an etiologic factor of tinnitus. Methods: A total of 73 patients were included. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the degree of sclerosis. Triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) levels were investigated. Tinnitus was questioned in patients. All patients have undergone a pure tone audiometry. Comperative statistical analysis was performed. Results: Tinnitus was seen in 79.5% of the patients and 20.5% of the patients had no tinnitus. Carotid stenosis of 1-49% degree was present in 16.4%, of 50-69% degree was present in 21.9%, and of 70% degree was present in 30.1% of the patients while 31.5% of the patients had no carotid stenosis. No significant association was present between carotid stenosis and the presence of tinnitus. HDL levels in patients with carotid stenosis of 1-49% degree were significantly higher than in those without stenosis. No significant difference was found between audiogram data and the level of carotid stenosis. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between the degree of carotid stenosis and the presence of tinnitus. Mean HDL levels were higher in carotid artery stenosis of a 1-49% degree.

Özet

Amaç: Ateroskleroz, orta ve büyük çaplı arterlerin intima tabakalarını etkileyen bir hastalıktır. Bu çalışmada tinnitusta etiyolojik faktör olarak düşünülen ateroskleroz, karotis aterosklerozu araştırılarak gösterilmek istendi. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 39’u kadın, 34’ü erkek olmak üzere toplam 73 hasta dahil edildi. Doppler sonucunda skleroz derecesine göre 4 gruba ayrıldı. Hastalardan rutin olarak trigliserid, total kolesterol, yüksek yoğunluklu lipoprotein (HDL) ve düşük yoğunluklu lipoprotein (LDL) incelemesi yapıldı. Hastalar tinnitusu olan ve olmayan olarak ayrıldı. Tümüne odyometrik tetkik yapıldı. Sonuçlar karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Olguların %79,5’ünde tinnitus görülürken, %20,5’inde tinnitus yoktur. Olguların %31,5’ünde karotis darlığı görülmezken, %16,4’inde %1-49 arasında, %21,9’unda %50-69 arasında ve %30,1’inde %70’ten fazla karotis darlığı görülmektedir. Tinnitus görülen olgular ile görülmeyen olguların kolesterol, trigliserid, HDL ve LDL ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamaktadır. Tüm hastalarda karotis darlığı ile tinnitus varlığı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamaktadır. Karotis darlığı %1-49 arasında olan olguların HDL düzeyleri, darlığı olmayanlardan anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulunmuştur. Karotis darlığına göre odyogram parametreleri değerlendirildiğinde karotis darlık düzeylerine göre olguların odyogram düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamaktadır. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak karotis darlığı ile tinnitus arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunamamıştır. Karotis darlığı %1-49 arasında olanlarda HDL düzeyleri yüksek bulunmuştur.
