Stenting Versus Neurosurgical Treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

The placement of a vascular endoprosthesis (stent) is an interventional neuroradiology procedure aimed, by venous approach (percutaneous puncture), to restore the diameter of a venous sinus. It requires 6 months of antiplatelet aggregation. The aim is to allow better venous drainage from the brain to increase the absorption of cerebrospinal fluid

The internal ventricular shunt consists of the introduction of a catheter from a lateral ventricle into the atrium or peritoneum. It is associated with a valve whose opening pressure is adjustable. The goal is that cerebrospinal fluid can be absorbed extra-cranial
