Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has a female to male ratio of 8:1 and occurs in women of child-bearing age at a rate of about 1 in 100,000 in the general population but in almost 20 in 100,00...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in males.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurological condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure without an underlying intracranial pathology. This condition is rarely encountered in men and it predominantly affects obese women of childbearing age. We present an interesting case of IIH in a male patient who presented with acute severe vision loss over 2 weeks and was succ...
