PSH incidence resulted 33/100000/year in clinical series with a 35.2% prevalence in a population study. Although considered an infrequent condition, a sinus stenosis-associated intracranial hypertension without papilledema (ss-IHWOP) is much more prevalent than believed and may represent a risk-factor for the /INS;progression of migraine, tension type headache and exertional, cough and sexual activity-associated headaches.
