Abstract
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH)
• Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) with no clear cause
• Results in stenosed venous transverse sinus (TS)
•Stenosis causes pulsatile tinnitus
Treatment – Venous Sinus Stenting (VSS)
• Performed when the intravascular pressure (IVP) gradient across the stenosis is above 8 mmHg
• 10.3% revision surgery rate
• Most common reason for revision is the occurrence of a new stenosis upstream of the stent
• There is currently no standardized criteria for the selection of stents to be used in this procedure; they are used off-label
