Endovascular Treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Clinical and Radiologic Outomce of 10 Consecutive Patients
Neurol 70:641-647, Donnet,A.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The importance of venous sinus disease in the etiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension is probably underestimated. Patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension in whom a venous sinus stenosis is demonstrated by a noninvasive radiologic workup should be evaluated with direct retrograde cerebral venography and manometry. In patients with a lesion of the venous sinuses who experienced medical treatment failure, endovascular stent placement seems to be an interesting alternative to classic surgical approaches.
