Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is an unexplained clinical syndrome with intracranial hypertension as the main sign, often accompanied by headache, pulsating tinnitus, vision and visual field changes and other clinical manifestations. A large number of studies have shown that cerebral venous sinus stenosis is closely associated with IIH, and more than 90% of IIH patients are accompanied by cerebral venous sinus stenosis. Although the causal relationship between the two is still uncertain, a comprehensive surgical treatment system with venous sinus stenting as the core is gradually formed. This article reviews the stenting treatment of IIH complicated with cerebral venous sinus stenosis.
