Outcomes of Stenting in Atypical Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Patients With Transverse Sinus Stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Venous sinus stenting (VSS) has emerged as a novel treatment option for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) with transverse sinus stenosis (TSS). However, the efficacy of stenting in atypical IIH patients (body mass index [BMI] < 24 kg/m², ≥ 50 years of age, or male) has not been fully investigated.

Methods

The data of IIH + TSS patients who experienced conventional medical treatment failure and received VSS treatment at Beijing Tiantan Hospital in China between May 2021 and December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed in a prospectively maintained database. Baseline characteristics and periprocedural features were collected, and follow-up clinical outcomes (intracranial pressure [ICP], stent-adjacent stenosis, and symptoms and ophthalmic improvem
