  • Title: Intracranial hypertension caused by a meningioma compressing the transverse sinus.
    Author: Chausson N, Bocquet J, Aveillan M, Olindo S, Signaté A, Merle H, Smadja D.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2010 Dec; 17(12):1589-92. PubMed ID: 20800493.
    Abstract:
    We report a 55-year-old woman with intracranial hypertension due to unilateral extrinsic compression of the left transverse sinus by a meningioma. Because of the high risk of the conventional neurosurgical intervention, she underwent an endovascular procedure consisting of a transstenotic stent placement in the left transverse sinus. One month after stenting, her ophthalmological examination revealed complete regression of the bilateral papilledema, with persistent improvement at 1 year. Cerebral venous-stenting could be a safe alternative for patients suffering from intracranial hypertension caused by extrinsic sinus compression.
