E-052 Post-operative weight loss in venous sinus stenting patients
ConclusionsIn conclusion, this study demonstrated that venous sinus stenting may result in modest decreases in BMI in IIH patients. The evidence suggests that with the intervention of venous sinus stenting, patients experienced a decrease in their BMI regardless of papilledema resolution. Further research such as larger prospective trials are needed to further understand the effect of transverse sinus stenting on weight loss.Disclosures A. Paul: None. A. Gajjar: None. A. Rogers: None.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension from benign to fulminant: Diagnostic and management issues
Meagan D Seay, Kathleen B DigreAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(8):59-64 Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) primarrily affects obese women of childbearing years and is commonly associated with headaches, pulsatile tinnitus, and vision changes. Though most patients have a “benign” course, it can lead to significant morbidity, including blindness. The treatment approach is based on severity of visual impact and includes weight loss, intracranial pressure lowering medications, and sometimes surgery, such as spinal fluid diversion, optic nerve sheath fenestration, or venous sinus...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: From physiopathological mechanisms to therapeutic decision
Rev Med Interne. 2022 Sep 13:S0248-8663(22)00634-8. doi: 10.1016/j.revmed.2022.08.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClinical features include visual disturbances, headaches, and pulsatile tinnitus that can be associated with reduced quality of life, and a risk of irreversible visual impairment in some cases. Obese women of childbearing age represent the main at-risk population, and the incidence of the disease is increasing because of rising prevalence of obesity worldwide. In addition, an imbalance in sex hormones is reported as a contributing risk factor. The pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension invol...

CME: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Praxis (Bern 1994). 2022 Apr;111(5):250-258. doi: 10.1024/1661-8157/a003838.ABSTRACTCME: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Abstract. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a pressure-induced secondary headache disorder and optic neuropathy. It primarily affects obese women of childbearing age and poses an interdisciplinary challenge both diagnostically and therapeutically. The most common symptom of this disorder are headaches frequently accompanied by photo- and/or phonophobia, whose semiology often resembles that of migraine, followed by transient visual obscurations and pulsatile tinnitus. While protection of visual...
