Abstract
Our understanding of idiopathic intracranial hypertension is still evolving. Its management is challenging and venous sinus stenting has been reported an alternative to cerebrospinal fluid diversion in adult patients with underlying venous sinus stenosis. Out of very few patients reported with venous sinus stenting in the literature, only one has been an adolescent. We report a case of a 2-year-old with idiopathic intracranial hypertension successfully treated with transverse sinus stenting with good outcome. Venous sinus stenting is a safe treatment option in the management of refractory idiopathic intracranial hypertension even in young children. We present the youngest patient to have successfully undergone this treatment.
