Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension; Obesity; Qatar |
| Description |
IIH is a disease of young obese women that can lead to significant vision loss. Previous studies described the nature of IIH within the Middle East. However, no such data has been published from Qatar. Given the rising epidemic of obesity in Qatar, we hypothesize a more severe IIH presentation and worse visual outcomes. |
