Advances in ophthalmic diagnostics and results of interventional clinical trials are shifting diagnosis and management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) to be more technology- and evidence-based. In this article, the evidence supporting current diagnostic criteria, evaluation, and medical and surgical management of IIH are reviewed.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), or pseudotumor cerebri, is a cerebrovascular disorder in which cerebrospinal fluid builds up around your brain without a known reason, increasing the pressure in your skull. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear liquid that nourishes and protects the brain and spinal cord.
