Description |
We present an atypical IIH patient with an underlying pathologic testosterone excess. Given recent data demonstrating the effects of testosterone on the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the choroid plexus, this endocrinopathy may be contributing to the pathophysiology of IIH or a subset of IIH cases. |
