Subject Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension; Acute Visual Loss
Description Acute and rapidly progressive visual loss despite appropriate medical treatment is a rare manifestation of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).

In this setting, other diseases responsible for elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) such as cerebral venous thrombosis or meningeal processes are usually suspected.
