Small lesions invading or compressing dural sinuses are frequent but secondary intracranial hypertension is not very common, with few examples reported in the literature. This event may be explained in the setting of anatomic variants in pattern of venous sinus circulation. We present the case of a patient who presented with papilledema and loss of visual acuity due to a small meningioma located inside the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). The patient underwent a lumboperitoneal shunt placement with recovery of symptoms. Literature available is also reviewed.
