چکیده
rinized during the procedure, followed by long-term therapy with clopidogrel. Clinical improvement was immediate, marked by alleviation of headaches, regression of the papillary edema, and a return to normal visual acuity (10/10 right, 9/10 left). In this case angioplastic intervention proved efficacious, and no other surgical or medical treatment was performed. Dear Sir, As the pathogenesis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) remains elusive, different medical and surgical treatments merit consideration.

Dural Venous Sinus Angioplasty and Stenting for Treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
BACKGROUND Lumboperitoneal shunt (LPS), ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) and optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) are accepted surgical therapies for medically refractory idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). In the subset of patients with IIH and venous sinus stenosis, dural venous sinus stenting has emerged as an alternative surgical approach. METHODS All cases of dural stents for I...

INTRODUCTION Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) may result in a chronic debilitating disease. Dural venous sinus stenosis with a physiologic venous pressure gradient has been identified as a potential etiology in a number of IIH patients. Intracranial venous stenting has emerged as a potential treatment alternative. METHODS A systematic review was carried out to identify studies emplo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The pathophysiology of IIH remains unknown. TS stenoses have been observed in a high proportion of these patients. Stent placement to remove this potential obstruction to venous outflow has been proposed as a treatment option for patients with IIH refractory to medical treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome of patients with re...

متن کاملCurrent Status of the Application of Intracranial Venous Sinus Stenting
The intracranial venous sinus is an important component of vascular disease. Many diseases involve the venous sinus and are accompanied by venous sinus stenosis (VSS), which leads to increased venous pressure and high intracranial pressure. Recent research has focused on stenting as a treatment for VSS related to these diseases. However, a systematic understanding of venous sinus stenting (VS-S...
