| Description |
IIH affects quality of life even early-on in the period following diagnosis, and even in patients mild visual loss. Compared with previous studies where individuals had the diagnosis longer, the quality of life is better at the onset. However, vision-specific QOL in patients with newly diagnosed IIH may be as bad as for patients with MS, ON, and other neuro-ophthalmic disorders. Treatment in patients with IIH should target both visual loss and headache, since QOL is linked to these important IIH symptoms. |
