Intracranial Hypertension Secondary to Venous Sinus Stenosis by Meningioma: A Case Illustration With Literature Review, Tips for Diagnosis and Management

Abstract

ABSTRACT Intracranial hypertension due to venous sinus stenosis from meningioma is rare. Symptoms resemble pseudotumor cerebri, but patients are typically older and not obese. Tumors usually compress the superior sagittal, transverse, and sigmoid sinus. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt often leads to a dramatic response.
