| Description |
It has been hypothesized that Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is involved in the pathophysiology of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, possibly by causing progressive erosion of the thin skull base bones.1 In this study, we aim (1) to evaluate the likelihood of definite IIH among patients with a spontaneous CSF leak treated at a tertiary referral center and (2) to compare demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with spontaneous CSF leaks, with vs without IIH. |
