Overview

Systematic review evaluates urgent venous sinus stenting outcomes in fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension, suggesting a potentially effective intervention.

Key Points

  • This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of urgent venous sinus stenting in preserving vision in patients with fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
  • Systematic evaluation of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus for relevant studies.
  • Inclusion of seven studies with 23 patients undergoing urgent venous sinus stenting.
  • Assessment of clinical outcomes including visual acuity and papilledema post-stenting.
  • High rates of papilledema resolution or significant improvement observed in most patients.
  • Stabilization or enhancement of visual acuity and visual fields reported in nearly all cases.
  • Complications were infrequent and non-catastrophic, with no procedure-related mortality.
