Neurosurgical internal ventricular shunt clinical trials

Stenting Versus Neurosurgical Treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

This study compares two ways to treat a condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) that causes high pressure in the head. We're looking at special surgery (shunt) versus placing a small tube (stent) in a vein, especially when medicines haven't worked well enough.
