| Subject |
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, Body mass index , Intraocular pressure, Cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure , Papilledema |
| Description |
We hypothesized that: (a) IIH patients with a higher BMI would have higher intracranial pressure, and (b) Patients with IIH who have a higher IOP could present with greater severity of papilledema. Our clinical objectives were to assess in IIH patients, the correlation between: (a) BMI and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure and (b) IOP and papilledema grade (at initial presentation and diagnosis). |
