A Case of Bilateral Papilledema With Improved Clinical Symptoms by Venous Stenting for Superior Sagittal Sinus Stenosis.

Superior sagittal sinus (SSS) obstruction causes intracranial hypertension, often requiring surgical stenting. Consensus on treating brain venous sinus stenosis, another cause, is lacking. This study reports a case of SSS stenosis and intracranial hypertension treated with venous stenting, improving bilateral papilledema. A 51-year-old with a headache and visual disturbance had papilledema and visual field loss. MR venography showed SSS stenosis, leading to a neurosurgery referral. Lumbar puncture confirmed intracranial hypertension (>35 cmH2O), prompting venous stenting. Post-procedure, papilledema, headache, and visual field loss improved. Venous stenting could be effective for SSS stenosis with clinically proven or recurrent pressure differences. Further cases are needed for standardization.
