Vascular hydraulics associated with idiopathic and secondary intracranial hypertension.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The radiologic diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is one of exclusion, with no reproducible positive features described in the imaging literature. Because MR venography is prone to flow artifacts, diagnosis of secondary intracranial hypertension (SIH) can also be problematic. Vascular hydraulics can be useful for diagnosis of these conditions when mea...
متن کاملA case of Gitelman syndrome associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
An 18-year-old woman with Gitelman syndrome (GS) associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is described. She was obese and showed a 10 kg gain in body weight over a period of 8 months. She presented with headache, vomiting, and diplopia. She had bilateral papilledema, and right abducens palsy. CSF examination demonstrated high pressure (over 320 mmH(2)O) with normal cytochemist...
متن کاملIdiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is common in obese women and can lead to significant visual impairment. First described more than 100 years ago, the cause of the disorder remains unknown. Despite a multitude of proposed links, the aetiology has never been established. Impairment of cerebrospinal-fluid reabsorption is the most likely underlying pathophysiological cause of the raised pressur...
متن کاملIdiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Although the cause of IIH remains obscure, loss of visual function is common, and patients may progress to blindness. Diagnosis should adhere to the modified Dandy criteria. Recent case-control studies cast doubt on the validity of many frequently cited conditions associated with IIH. Valid associations include obesity, recent weight gain, female sex, vitamin A intoxication, and steroid withdra...
متن کاملIdiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH).
The first report of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) was by Quinche in 1893. Throughout history it has had many names. When I was a child growing up, before we had antibiotic therapy, middle ear infections occasionally would trigger intracranial inflammation and the disease was called Otitic Hydrocephalus. Then it was called Benign Intracranial Hypertension which we now know is far fr...
