Disclaimer: As of this webinar, no stent has been approved by the FDA for use in the venous sinuses of the brain. Therefore, venous sinus stenting is currently performed with stents used off-label. Neither IIH-Hub nor Serenity Medical, Inc. endorse the off-label usage of stents. The views expressed in this video are those of the speakers alone. IIH—sometimes referred to as Pseudotumor Cerebri—is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disorder of elevated pressure within the brain without an identifiable cause.
