Description Patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) may have atypical presentations, such as spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, and may not meet the classic IIH diagnostic criteria1,2. Recent reports have suggested an association between IIH and seizures in patients with temporal encephaloceles,3 which are frequently observed in temporal lobe epilepsy and might be an epileptogenic focus4. The aim of this study is to report patients with presumed IIH and seizures associated with meningoencephaloceles.
