Venous Sinus Stenosis Treatment at the University of Illinois Neurosurgery Department offers leading-edge solutions for complex neurological conditions. Our team of highly skilled neurosurgeons specializes in both the diagnosis and treatment of these challenging disorders.
One innovative treatment is Venous Sinus Stenting. This minimally invasive procedure is employed for the treatment of Venous Sinus Stenosis. It involves the placement of a metallic mesh tube, or stent, into a narrowed vein. This expansion of the vein addresses the narrowing and can significantly alleviate symptoms.
Venous sinus stenting is also utilized in treating idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and pulsatile tinnitus. Pulsatile tinnitus, characterized by hearing a rhythmic sound in the ear, can sometimes be attributed to venous sinus stenosis. In such cases, stenting offers a promising solution.
Regarding the treatment of subglottic stenosis, the approach depends on the severity of its impact on a child’s breathing. Various factors, including other medical conditions of the patient, play a crucial role in determining the surgical treatment. There is a broad spectrum of treatment options available, tailored to these individual factors.
For those suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis, treatment typically begins with non-surgical methods. These can include physical therapy, NSAIDs, or electrical spinal cord stimulation. However, if these conservative measures are not effective, spinal decompression surgery might be necessary for pain relief.
Early symptoms of spinal stenosis can often be managed with activity modification and anti-inflammatory medications. When symptoms escalate, epidural steroid injections may be considered before exploring surgical options.
In summary, the University of Illinois Neurosurgery Department is at the forefront of treating Venous Sinus Stenosis and related conditions, employing a range of innovative, minimally invasive techniques tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
