Description |
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) causes headache and potentially irreversible visual loss, mostly in obese women of childbearing age. Treatment includes weight loss, acetazolamide, and surgical interventions when medications fail. Venous sinus stenting (VSS) has recently emerged as a promising treatment for IIH patients with dural venous sinus stenosis (DSS) but only a minority of studies have studied post-stent opening pressure (OP) or quantitative visual field scores. |
