Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension | Procedure: Stent | Not Applicable |
Participants The study will include group of patients with an established diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertenton meeting our inclusion criteria and will admitted to Al-Azher Univerity Hospitals (Al-Hussien and Bab El-Shaeria) after informed consent from them. The recruitment will take place after approval from the Ethics Committee and the University Council.
-
They are selected according to The modified Dandy Criteria to Diagnose IIH:
- Grade II paplledema .
- normal neurological examination except for six nerve palsy.
- neuroimaging criteria of normal brain parenchyma without evidence of hydrocephalus, mass or structural lesion and no abnormal meningeal enhancement on MRI.
- normal CSF composition.
- elevated lumbar puncture opening pressure, defined as greater than or equal to 250 mmH2O in adults (7).
-
Exclusion criteria included:
- Age less than orequal to 18 years.
- creatinine .1.5 mg/dL.
- severe allergic reaction to iodine contrast.
- contraindication to general anesthesia, use of aspirin, clopidogrel or anticoagulants, thrombophilic disorder or anticardiolipin syndrome.
- dural arteriovenous fistula or other arteriovenous lesion affecting cortical venous flow.
- pregnancy.
- Blood pressure must be measured to exclude malignant hypertension, as defined as a diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 120 mm Hg or systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 180 mm Hg(17).
