Effect of Transverse Sinus Stenting on Diffuse Leukoencephalopathy with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
نویسندگان
چکیده
A diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) can be made after excluding secondary causes. As stenosis transverse sinuses is often revealed with IIH patients, sinus stenting used to release hypertension. It rare find a case leukoencephalopathy IIH. Herein, we describe diffuse IIH, which improved stent insertion in the sinus.

Unilateral transverse sinus stenting of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The pathophysiology of IIH remains unknown. TS stenoses have been observed in a high proportion of these patients. Stent placement to remove this potential obstruction to venous outflow has been proposed as a treatment option for patients with IIH refractory to medical treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome of patients with re...
متن کاملIdiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. A Systematic Analysis of Transverse Sinus Stenting.
BACKGROUND Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder characterized by signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure without structural cause seen on conventional imaging. Hallmark treatment after failed medical management, has been CSF shunting or optic nerve fenestration with the goal of treatment being preservation of vision. Recently, there have been multiple case repo...
متن کاملIdiopathic intracranial hypertension and transverse sinus stenoses.
An 18-year-old woman was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and bilateral transverse sinus stenoses (TSS), after presenting with papilledema and decreased visual acuity. Lumbar puncture revealed an opening pressure of >60 cm H2O. MRI showed bilateral TSS believed to be associated with the IIH. Initial treatment consisted of symptom relief by a temporary lumbar drain for c...
متن کاملClinical course of idiopathic intracranial hypertension with transverse sinus stenosis.
OBJECTIVE Transverse sinus stenosis (TSS) is common in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), but its effect on the course and outcome of IIH is unknown. We evaluated differences in TSS characteristics between patients with IIH with "good" vs. "poor" clinical courses. METHODS All patients with IIH seen in our institution after September 2009 who underwent a high-quality standardized brai...
متن کاملTransverse sinus stenting for idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a review of 52 patients and of model predictions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transverse sinus stenosis is common in patients with IIH. While the role of transverse sinus stenosis in IIH pathogenesis remains controversial, modeling studies suggest that stent placement within a transverse sinus stenosis with a significant pressure gradient should decrease cerebral venous pressure, improve CSF resorption in the venous system, and thereby reduce intra...
