Wrong place to look: This is a public information site where docs scattered around the US answer health questions. We do not have access to information about providers in your location nor can we make referrals/arrange visits. Contact your doc for guidance or go to a hospital ER if you need an urgent evaluation & treatment.

Venous stenosis: Would ask your doctor about a cerebral venous sinus pressure study. Often the radiologist will find a blockage or "stenosis" in a vein inside the head that is a treatable cause of intracranial hypertension that may eliminate the need for shunt.
