| Description |
Primary benign headaches are common, occurring in up to 24% of young women. This, combined with the increasing prevalence of obesity and awareness of IIH, has led to an increase in costly and invasive evaluations for headache, often in the absence of documented papilledema. Our objective was to quantify overdiagnosis of IIH among patients seen on our Neuro- Ophthalmology service. |
