A member asked:
Recently, i was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri and on a recent mrv, they also found severe narrowing of the bilateral distal transverse sinuses and plaque, as well. there has been talk of a stent. would it a stent be worth the surgery?

In your case, appears that a potential venous obstruction may be the etiology of your “pseudotumor” and surgery may reverse this. But get another opinion to be safe

What symptoms do you have? Definitely get a second opinion before considering the procedure.
