    Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in children presents with variable symptoms and requires specific diagnostic criteria for confirmation.

  • 2

    Cerebral venous sinus stenosis is prevalent in IIH patients and may contribute to disease progression, highlighting the need for effective treatment.

  • 3

    Endovascular dural venous sinus stenting (VSS) shows promise for pediatric IIH, but evidence and guidelines for its use are currently limited.

  • 4

    Patient selection for VSS in pediatric IIH is individualized and lacks standardized criteria, complicating treatment decisions across institutions.

  • 5

    The findings from six observational studies on VSS in pediatric IIH are preliminary and should guide clinical considerations rather than formal recommendations.
