Summary: We report the unusual case of pulsatile tinnitus caused by muscular branches of the occipital artery, which developed to supply the distal vertebral artery after subclavian artery occlusion. Anatomical findings and options of endovascular treatment are discussed. To our knowledge, subclavian artery occlusion causing an objective tinnitus has not been reported.
