Improvement in papilledema and visual loss after endovascular stent   placement in dural sinus thrombosis.
OBJECTIVE
To report two cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with papilledema and visual loss that improved after endovascular stent placement.


METHODS
Retrospective case series from a tertiary ophthalmic center.


RESULTS
Two cases of venous sinus occlusion treated with angioplasty and stenting are described. Both cases experienced improvement in optic disc edema and visual function following the procedures.


CONCLUSIONS
Endovascular stent placement may relieve increased intracranial pressure and papilledema caused by cerebral sinus thrombosis and may prevent further visual loss.
