Abstract

IIH presents with clinical symptoms of headache, transient visual obscurations, pulsatile tinnitus, diplopia, and sustained visual loss. There are multiple causes of secondary IIH like syndrome, CVT being one of them. However, remote CVT as a cause of IIH is rare. In our case, 35 years old female with history of CVT many years back, which was treated completely and now presenting with IIH, this patient showed transverse sinus stenosis. There is a debate that unhidden transverse sinus stenosis is primary cause of IIH or is secondary to increased pressures. In view of past history of CVT, transverse sinus stenosis appears to be the primary cause.
