Overview

Indications

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with pseudotumor cerebri. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:

Surgery

Surgical options are:

  • Optic nerve sheath fenestration
    • In IIH patients with papilledema, optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) can improve visual loss.[2]
  • Venous sinus stenting
    • We can perform venous stenting in patients with venous sinus stenosis on cerebral venography. This method can reduce headaches and visual problems.[6][7]
