| Description |
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a condition which can lead to chronic headaches and visual loss secondary to raised intracranial pressure (ICP) in the absence of a structural cause in the brain.1 The world-wide incidence and prevalence of IIH has grown, with young obese women most commonly affected.2,3 There is a disease spectrum ranging from mild to severe, and for the majority of patients the visual prognosis is good.4 However, around 7% require escalation of treatment to save sight, with surgical choice being largely dictated by local expertise.5,6 The emerging pathophysiology is that of systemic metabolic dysregulation. |
