- Abstract: A diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) can be made after excluding secondary causes. As stenosis of transverse sinuses is often revealed with IIH patients, transverse sinus stenting is used to release intracranial hypertension. It is rare to find a case of leukoencephalopathy secondary to IIH. Herein, we describe a case of diffuse leukoencephalopathy with IIH, which improved after stent insertion in the transverse sinus.
