Description Intracranial hypertension (IH) is rarely associated with peripheral hemodialysis shunts, presumably in association with central venous stenosis. Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow (HeRO™) grafts are designed to bypass pre-existing central venous stenosis by connecting the brachial artery with the venous circulation through the ipsilateral internal jugular (IJ) vein.3 We report a case of IH immediately after placement of a HeRO graft and discuss possible pathophysiology.
