I had one of these installed in my head. It worked really well for me. My pressure gradient was 15. I am healthy now compared to before at two years later. Awesome, awesome surgery for me
None of the medications used to treat IIH are fixing a cause either. Same with shunt surgery. I’m not sure I understand why there is controversy. Medicine treats symptoms most of the time anyway.
Yep. Causes need to be looked at so the cause can be treated. The medications used to treat IIH come with some really nasty side effects as well as can come with some pretty nasty long-term issues.
Excellent talk! One issue if you consider the egg theory, that post stenting the stenosis can migrate to pre or post stent due to continuing increased ICP.
I hear it everyday for the last 4 years. Finally got my diagnosis. They want to do an angiogram to see if I have high pressure and if I don’t he doesn’t recommend the stent.
I’m waiting on my angiogram but I have severe migraines with mine. 30/30 days of the month. I hope I get stented bc I am miserable. PMHx of viral meningitis x 2 both with severe CSF leaks after LP.
i hope it will still go dr patsalides told me if i get a stent that i would probably need coils as well and he gave it 80 percent chance of fixing the noise ie pulsatile tinnitus

I have learned so much from you and because of that I got an iih diagnosis with cfs leaks and now they are going to look at my Venus sinus.
Thank you for posting these videos!

Excellent video...top expert.
Thanks for this video I have a question, if the stenosis is say on the right side could one feel the pulsatile tinnitus from left ear and vice versa ?

How is your tinnitus now
I’m waiting on my angiogram but I have severe migraines with mine. 30/30 days of the month. I hope I get stented bc I am miserable. PMHx of viral meningitis x 2 both with severe CSF leaks after LP.
I hope you get/got a mic in your future videos.
Can one have venous sinus stenosis but no intercranial pressure?
Yes
If it is intrinsic stenosis... caused by arachnoid granulations, wouldn't a stent be appropriate?
Thnak you so much dr
Can iih be caused by chronic sinusitis and rhinitis
I was stented 3 weeks ago and swooshing is gone but the tinnitus isn't.
I can't afford the surgery and this has ruined my 20s and now my 30s 😞🔫
so sorry!
i hope it will still go
dr patsalides told me if i get a stent that i would probably need coils as well and he gave it 80 percent chance of fixing the noise ie pulsatile tinnitus
did the swooshing sound stop when you drink coffee?
Has the tinnitus gotten better?
