| Description |
"Fulminant intracranial hypertension (FIH) is a subtype of intracranial hypertension characterized by rapid severe progressive vision loss. The current practice recommends ventricular peritoneal shunt (VPS), lumbar peritoneal shunt (LPS), or optic nerve sheath (ONSF) be performed immediately to halt or reverse vision loss [1]. These interventions carry significant risk of morbidity with up to 75% of shunts failing at 2 years [2]. Here we describe the successful management of 2 teenagers with FIH with a temporary lumbar drain." |
