Subject Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension; Obesity; Pediatrics
Description Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in children is an uncommon but significant cause of morbidity, including permanent visual loss. It is important to understand if, like obesity, IIH in children is on the rise and is related to that increase. The aim of this study is to compare the recent incidence rate of pediatric IIH in a tertiary care hospital to earlier data published from that same hospital.
