Description
The IIH:WT randomised trial established that weight loss through bariatric surgery significantly reduced intracranial pressure (ICP) at 12 and 24 months as compared to a community weight management intervention (CWI). This study aimed to evaluate the amount of weight loss required to reduce ICP in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and to explore the impact of the different bariatric surgical approaches.
