Summary

This study is for people recently diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a condition where high pressure in the brain causes vision loss, headaches, and ringing in the ears. Researchers want to see if placing a small tube (stent) in a narrowed brain vein, along with standard medical care, can lower the pressure and improve symptoms better than medical care alone. About 114 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and followed for up to a year.
