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.
