Description |
Quality of Life (QOL) in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has been shown to be reduced at diagnosis (baseline visit of the IIHTT). Factors that most affected QOL at baseline were visual symptoms and signs (reduced perimetric mean deviation [PMD], reduced visual acuity, transient visual obscurations, diplopia) and pain symptoms (headache, neck pain). Other influential factors included: dizziness, a positive sleep apnea screening (Berlin Questionnaire) and self-reported cognitive dysfunction. BMI was not associated with the reduced QOL. The baseline IIHTT study showed QOL is reduced in patients with IIH at the time of diagnosis and at a level worse than even that reported by patients with optic neuritis and/or multiple sclerosis. |
