A member asked:
Does venous sinus stenosis give me an elevated risk of stroke or aneurysm or anything? was told i have this after mri & angiogram secondary to iih, therefore weight loss instead of stenting is advisable.but what are the risks of the stenosis itself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Untreated venous sinus thrombosis is indeed a cause of Increased Intracranial Pressure (Pseudotumor Cerebri), and is associated with strokes, but has nothing to do with aneurysms. Your various treatment options should be thoroughly discussed with an experienced neurologist or neurosurgeon.

What could these MRI results signify: "Asymmetry of the dominant venous sinuses on the right side. Long and tapered stenosis of the left transverse sinus. Venous anastomosis between the right sinus and left internal jugular vein." Apart from IIH?
Does IIH present with 24/7 pulsatile tinnitus in one ear only that relieves when you apply pressure on neck, right below jaw line? MRI, CT, Cerebral angiogram and Opthalmologist confirm no evidence of papilledema. Should I get LP as final test?
Is IIH probable with normal MRI, CT, cerebral angiogram and no papilledema? Neurologist & ENT suggests spinal tap since all tests came back normal. PTinnitus in right ear that goes away when pressure applied right below the jaw 2 inches from ear?
Please, Why do some people with IIH (like me) have transverse sinus stenosis? Why would weight loss / gain affect this stenosis? Thank you.
I have bilateral transverse sinus stenosis and IIH. Doctors say weight loss will help with this. How? Stenosis in the neck affected by fatness? Thanks
