Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and Venous Stenosis

Treatments and Locations

A neurosurgical shunt is a surgically implanted catheter that is used to drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into another area of the body where it can then be absorbed, lowering intracranial pressure.
Dural venous sinus stenting is endovascular stenting of the dural venous sinus that may lessen symptoms of IIH in some patients. Venous sinus stenting is a minimally invasive treatment involving a stent placed across the area of stenosis to keep the sinus open.
