Figures & Tables

FIGURE 1.

Severe papilledema and OCT follow-up demonstrating intraretinal fluid. Fundus examination at presentation shows bilateral grade 4 papilledema with peripapillary hemorrhages (A, B). Baseline (SD-OCT, acquired with Spectralis OCT, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) reveals significant peripapillary intraretinal fluid threatening the macula (C, D). Post-VSS SD-OCT acquired 24 hours after venous sinus stenting demonstrates near-complete resolution of the intraretinal fluid (E, F). SDOCT, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography; OCT, optical coherence tomography; VSS, venous sinus stenting.

FIGURE 2.

Cerebral venous sinus stenosis and endovascular reconstruction. Pre-operative venous MR angiography (a, b) and digital subtraction angiography (c) show stenosis of the dominant left transverse sinus (arrows). Angiography after stent placement demonstrates restoration of the venous sinus caliber (d, e, f).

FIGURE 3.

Intracranial venous manometry and pressure gradient resolution. Measurement of pressure gradients at baseline (a, b) and 4 days after venous stent placement (c, d). The arrow indicates the tip of the microcatheter.
