Stenting for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Discussion: process for production, circulation and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid, and the role of the venous system in CSF homeostasis; systemic and neurochemical influences on intracranial pressure and autoregulation of cerebral blood flow; difference between cerebral venous sinus stenosis and venous sinus thrombosis; possible rationale for stenting patients with IIH who have cerebral venous stenosis; the reported clinical experience with stenting to date, including the risks and benefits of the procedure.
