Objective: To explore the relation between venous disease and idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Background: Optic nerve sheath fenestration and ventricular shunting are the classic methods when medical treatment has failed. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is caused by venous sinus obstruction in an unknown percentage of cases. Recently, endoluminal venous sinus stenting was proposed as an alternative treatment. Methods: Ten consecutive patients with refractory idiopathic intracranial…

Dural venous sinus stenosis at the junction of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses, leading to local venous hypertension and a secondary reduction in CSF drainage through the arachnoid granulations, is increasingly recognized as an important component of the pathophysiology of IIH.

Irrespective of the type of stenosis, stenting of lateral sinus stenoses is an effective treatment for intracranial hypertension symptoms and has replaced draining of cerebrospinal fluid when treatment with acetazolamide has proved to be ineffective.

Intracranial venous hypertension was proposed as a unifying mechanism or final common pathway of IIH and interest in the dural venous sinuses as the source of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in IIH was heightened in the 1990s.
