| Description |
Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) can devastate vision, preferentially afflicting obese females. A subgroup of patients with severe cerebral sinus stenosis appears to benefit from sinus stenting. We hypothesized a retrospective analysis of patients at our institution who received such stenting would reveal those with a BMI >35 did not experience long-term clinical benefitwhile those with a BMI <30 did. |
