Abstract
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disease defined by increased intracranial pressure and associated with a variety of symptoms ranging from headaches to tinnitus. Ventricular peritoneal shunting has been the mainstay treatment for patients with IIH. Although VPS's have shown efficacy in treating IIH, some patients complain of refractory symptoms even with functioning VPS's. Venus stenting has emerged as a new technique for treating these refractory symptoms. Despite the scarce literature pertaining its efficacy and safety profile, several small studies have shown promising results. In this case series, four patients with IIH complained of refractory symptoms despite functioning VPS's and were treated with venous stenting.
