What is Venous Sinus Stenosis?

Venous sinus stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of the venous sinuses, which are large veins located within the skull that drain blood from the brain. This narrowing can result in impaired blood flow, leading to increased pressure within the brain and potentially causing symptoms such as headaches, vision changes, pulsatile tinnitus, and neurological deficits. Venous sinus stenosis can be congenital or acquired, and it is often associated with conditions such as idiopathic intracranial hypertension or dural arteriovenous fistulas.
