Re: Transverse Sinus Stenosis

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I had it.  It was the right side but mine was odd.  It was caused by an

arachnoid cyst.  It " crushed " my cerebellum and pushed it into the sinus and

also pushed the cerebellum out of the foramen magnum, " causing " my chiari. 

Thankfully, my body created what's called " collateral flow " around the

blockage.  In other words, there were new veins that " grew " and bypassed the

sinus.  I still get headaches and VERY prominent facial and head veins from

this but no residual problems (yet).

Hello. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has symptoms,clots, or

problems related to Transverse Sinus Stenosis.

If you have had surgery for this, did you get a VP shunt, stent, etc?

Thanks so much,

Pam
