| Abstract |
Radiologic findings of intracranial hypertension (RAD-IH) are common in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) patients. Paralleling the increasing rates of obesity, the burden of IIH is growing. Urgent neuro-ophthalmology consultations for possible IIH in patients with incidentally detected RAD-IH are increasing, with many patients receiving unnecessary lumbar punctures (LPs) and treatments. This retrospective observational study aimed to determine the prevalence of neuro-ophthalmology consultations for RAD-IH, rate of funduscopic examination by referring providers, prevalence of papilledema, outcomes after neuro-ophthalmic evaluation, and rates of misdiagnosis. |
