Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Clinical Features and Contemporary Management
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome of increased intracranial pressure without evident cause. The exact pathogenesis of IIH remains elusive but it is also plausible that the syndrome represents the common final pathway of several different mechanisms. IIH has an estimated incidence of 1-3 per 100,000 and a predilection for obese women of childbearing age. Presentation invol...

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 کاملCardiovascular risk factors in Chiari malformation and idiopathic intracranial hypertension
OBJECTIVES Both Chiari malformation type 1 (CMI, i.e., the idiopathic caudal ectopy of cerebellar tonsils into foramen magnum) and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) are characterized by reduced intracranial compliance (ICC) due to disturbed circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). An increasing body of evidence links cardiovascular disease to CSF circulation disturbances. The aim of t...
