Our understanding of idiopathic intracranial hypertension is still evolving. Its management
is challenging and venous sinus stenting has been reported an alternative to cerebrospinal
fluid diversion in adult patients with underlying venous sinus stenosis. Out of very
few patients reported with venous sinus stenting in the literature, only one has been
an adolescent. We report a case of a 2-year-old with idiopathic intracranial hypertension
successfully treated with transverse sinus stenting with good outcome. Venous sinus
stenting is a safe treatment option in the management of refractory idiopathic intracranial
hypertension even in young children. We present the youngest patient to have successfully
undergone this treatment.
