AB  - We describe a case of severe headaches, double vision, and progressive vision 
      loss secondary to a ruptured intracranial cyst (IAC) in a 31-year-old woman with 
      no relevant past medical history. The case is peculiar because drainage of the 
      subdural hygroma led to a minimal improvement in vision with persistent elevated 
      intracranial pressure (ICP). Further exploration revealed transverse sinus 
      stenosis necessitating stenting. Evaluation post-stenting showed marked reduction 
      of ICP and improvement in symptoms. This report underscores the importance of 
      comprehensive work-up and suspicion of multiple underlying etiologies that may be 
      crucial to complete resolution of presenting symptoms in some cases. We provide 
      an overview of the clinical indications and evidence for venous sinus stenting in 
      treating idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
