"Idiopathic" intracranial hypertension: An update from neurointerventional research for clinicians.

Recent studies in the neurointerventional literature have greatly improved our understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms causing idiopathic intracranial hypertension and its associated conditions. The ability to make individualized, patient-specific treatment approaches has been made possible by advances in our understanding of how venous sinus stenosis and cerebral venous hypertension fundamentally contribute to idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
