| Abstract |
A 32-year-old woman was seen in follow-up for history of long-standing severe idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Her condition was refractory to acetazolamide, eventually requiring cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion procedure; thus, she had undergone ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement 9 years earlier. |
