Venous Sinus Pressures in Normal Individuals

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The purpose of this research is to document normal intracranial venous sinus pressures. Participants who need to have a cerebral angiogram to evaluate a medical problem not related to Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) will be invited to participate. Participation in this research will not require any extra visits. The intervention will take place in the interventional radiology suite when the subject has an angiogram. IIH is a condition that causes increased pressure in the brain in the absence of a tumor or other diseases that may be causing symptoms. Symptoms include headaches and visual disturbances not explained by other things. In IIH there is a narrowing in the sinuses of the brain that causes the increased pressure.
