The role of isolated non-thrombotic IJVS in idiopathic intracranial hypertension has recently gained a vested interest. Compared with venous sinus stenosis, isolated IJVS at extracranial segments is more concealed and likely to be neglected, leading to misdiagnosis or treatment delay and subsequent exacerbation of clinical outcomes. Stenting seems to hold a potential of addressing the intracranial pressure elevation-associated clinical issues from etiological level, especially after medical therapy failure. The complications of stenting such as ipsilateral headache, restenosis, intra-stent thrombosis and hemorrhage have beem demonstrated in the settings of intracranial sinus obstruction and osseous impingement-associated IJVS, particularly bony structures between the styloid process and lateral mass of C1 that constrain the IJV. Nevertheless, so far, to the best of our knowledge, few or no stenting related adverse events have been found in isolated IJVS patients with venous stent implantation.
