Understanding Venous Manometry

Informative lecture with Dr. Dorothea Altschul, an expert in neurointerventional procedures. This webinar focuses on venous manometry, a key diagnostic tool used to evaluate pressure within the brain’s venous system. Dr. Altschul shares her expertise on when and how venous manometry is performed, what the results can reveal, and how this information helps guide treatment decisions for patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Disclaimer: As of this webinar, no stent has been approved by the FDA for use in the venous sinuses of the brain. Therefore, venous sinus stenting is currently performed with stents used off-label. Neither IIH-Hub nor Serenity Medical, Inc. endorse the off-label usage of stents. The views expressed in this video are those of the speakers alone. IIH—sometimes referred to as Pseudotumor Cerebri—is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disorder of elevated pressure within the brain without an identifiable cause. The IIH Practitioner Series is designed for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuro interventionalists, endovascular surgeons, interventionist radiologists, neuroradiologists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, and ENT specialists. Patients and caregivers are always welcome to attend. Dr. Altschul is board-certified in neurology and vascular neurology, as well as AANS certified in Neuroendovascular Surgery. Currently, she serves as the Director of Neurointerventional Neurosurgery at Neurosurgeons of NJ and at The Valley Hospital. Dr Altschul is a senior member of various professional societies, including the Society of Neurointerventional Surgery, the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology, and the American Academy of Neurology. She is also a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Neurointerventional Surgery, the most premier scientific journal in her field. Dr. Altschul trained in Neuroendovascular Surgery in a two year clinical fellowship at the Columbia Campus of the NY Presbyterian Hospital (Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons) in New York. Prior to that, she completed a clinical and research fellowship in Vascular Neurology with focus on stroke and critical care neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham & Women’s Hospital (Harvard Medical School) in Boston. She finished her neurology training at Montefiore Hospital, Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, and a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in Neuroepidemiology at the National Institute on Aging (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland.
