Styloidectomy vs venous stenting

This is something that weighs on my mind quite a bit as I await surgery. I’ve been told stenosis is possible intracranially, mainly in one of my transverse/sigmoid sinus. Same info with gradient of 8 needing stenting.

I haven’t had any angiogram yet but was offered one by Dr. Kenneth Liu in 2022 when he diagnosed me with EDS and possible occult tethered cord. At the time I did not know I had Eagles Syndrome. While looking for surgeons for OTC locally, I researched EDS and found I also had Eagles. To me, it seems to make sense to treat the stenosis due to Eagles before trying to tackle anything intracranial due to the changes that can occur.

Here is a lecture by Dr. Liu on venous stenting…

This is something I hope to talk to Dr. Hepworth about at the end of the week, when I have my long awaited appointment.
