Stenting versus medical treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a matched-control study
Conclusions This matched-control study shows that stenting has a greater efficacy rate and rapid resolution of papilledema and its respective symptoms compared with medical treatment.

A new method for assessing transverse sinus stenosis with CT venography based on the venous trans-stenotic pressure gradient
Conclusions Quantitatively assessing TSS by taking the ratio of the cross-sectional area of TSS to that of the poststenotic segment might be a more efficient method for predicting the TPG.

Extreme lateral infracondylar approach for internal jugular vein compression syndrome: A case series with preliminary clinical outcomes
ConclusionThe ELI approach for IJV decompression appears to be safe for patients who are not ideal endovascular candidates due to bony anatomy. Confirming long-term efficacy in relieving debilitating clinical symptoms requires longer follow-up and a larger patient cohort. Carefully selected patients with symptomatic bony IJV compression for whom there are no effective medical or endovascular options may benefit from surgical IJV decompression.

P004/33 Recurrent intracranial hypertension secondary to collateral regression following successful occlusion of dural AV fistula
PresentationA 35 year-old lady presented with headache, tinnitus and papilloedema. LP showed raised CSF pressure. Acetazolamide was commenced for presumed idiopathic intracranial hypertension with atypical phenotype but papilloedema persisted despite increasing dosage.CTV showed a non-occlusive right sigmoid sinus filling defect with bilateral transverse sinus stenosis. Prominent, tortuous veins straddled the tentorium, indicating venous hypertension.Angiography identified a dural A-V fistula involving the torcula and right transverse sinus. Tributaries included bilateral MMA and occipital artery branches, bilateral poster...

The 5-Steps to Relieve Tinnitus
My patient T.K. was a wreck. He looked like he hadn’t slept in a week. I asked him what was going on. “It’s nothing you can fix, doc,” he said. “I’ve been to three specialists, and they all told me the same thing… “I’ve got tinnitus, and I just have to live with it.” Luckily, I was able to help him. Tinnitus is an aggravating, nerve-racking, and unseen condition. The constant ringing in your ears robs you of sleep, makes you miserable as it drowns out your hearing, and, over time, makes you more prone to illness. Tinnitus also shatters your focus and concentration. Sadly, up to 25% of the U.S. populatio...

E-120 The utility of MRI and MRA in the follow-up evaluation of treated dural arteriovenous fistulas: a preliminary analysis
ConclusionMRI/MRA evidence of residual or recurrent dAVF is not reliably found between two neuroradiologists or as compared to angiographic results. Catheter angiogram remains the standard for follow-up of treated dAVF.ReferencesNewton TH, Cronqvist S. Involvement of dural arteries in intracranial arteriovenous malformations.

E-266 Outpatient-based cerebral venography and manometry via the antecubital vein
ConclusionWe think that performing outpatient-based cerebral venography and manometry via the antecubital vein is safe and feasible. Since there were cases converting to a transfemoral venous approach, further research is needed to determine which patients would be appropriate for attempting femoral venous access first.Disclosures B.

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.

Identifying Health-Related Conditions Associated with Tinnitus in Young Adults
CONCLUSIONS: While young adults with health conditions are at a higher risk of reporting tinnitus, the predictive utility of a positive health history remains relatively low, possibly due to weak associations between health conditions and tinnitus. Noise, male sex, reoccurring ear infections, European ethnicity, and a positive health history revealed higher odds of reporting chronic tinnitus than their counterparts. These risk factors collectively explained about 16% variability in chronic tinnitus, which highlights the need for identifying other risk factors for chronic tinnitus in young adults.PMID:37489384 | PMC:PMC1036...

Saved From Permanent Expulsion: Renal Autotransplant for Aneurysmal Disease
A 34-year-old Caucasian woman was referred for evaluation of a large right renal artery aneurysm. Her past medical history was significant for migraines, hypertension, and distal left cervical internal carotid artery spontaneous dissection that extended into the skull base. She described long-standing pulsatile tinnitus. Other vascular risk factors included a past history of tobacco use.

Combined surgical repair and venous sinus stenting for patients with skull base encephaloceles secondary to dural venous sinus stenosis
ConclusionIn patients with dural sinus stenosis and encephaloceles requiring repair, VSS can be performed safely within weeks of surgery for relief of symptoms, resolution of underlying pathology, and prevention of CSF leak recurrence.

Cerebral venous anatomy: implications for the neurointerventionalist
Meaningful contributions to neurointerventional practice may be possible by considering the dynamic aspects of angiography in addition to fixed morphologic information. The functional approach to venous anatomy requires integration of the traditional static anatomic features of the system—deep, superficial, posterior fossa, medullary veins, venous sinuses, and outflow routes into an overall appreciation of how a classic model of drainage is altered, embryologically, or pathologically, depending on patterns of flow—visualization made possible by angiography. In this review, emphasis is placed on balance between ...
