Idiopathic intracranial hypertension

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2002
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also known as pseudotumor cerebri, can be a serious vision-threatening disease. Visual acuity, visual fields, and ocular fundus appearance should be followed closely in all patients with IIH. Obese patients with IIH should be encouraged to lose weight.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Without Intracranial Hypertension

Neurology Clinical Practice, 2021
The intracranial pressure (ICP) show large daily fluctuation, mainly due to postural changes and physical activity (e.g. it goes up to 470 mmH2O under Valsalva manoeuvre1). Consequently, the dural sinus must be sufficiently rigid in order to avoid its collapse during cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure peaks.

Fulminant Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

JAMA Neurology, 2013
Fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension is extremely rare but invariably is associatedwith permanent blindness unless there is prompt intervention. Hypothetically, a rapid increase in pressure in the perineural space around the optic nerve can lead to ischemic opticneuropathyandblindness.1An 18-year-oldoverweightwoman with rapidly progressive ...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in pregnancy

Journal of Neurology, 2002
Since idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is most prevalent in obese women of childbearing age, concerns arise regarding the impact of pregnancy on the disorder and the potential teratogenicity of some therapeutic agents. We evaluated the course, management of pregnant IIH patients and the visual and pregnancy outcomes.Case series of pregnant ...
