2025年3月19日 · Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also known as pseudotumor cerebri, is a syndrome with signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure but where a causative mass or hydrocephalus is not identified.

IIH is clinically characterised by headache, symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, normal cerebrospinal fluid, without ventriculomegaly or mass lesion. Other presentations include retro-orbital pain, pulsatile tinnitus, visual disturbance (acuity and/or field loss) and blindness.

MRI and MRV are readily accessible imaging tools for initial evaluation and confirmation of intracranial hypertension, detection of secondary causes, and initial diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

OCT is a promising modality for clinical and scientific evaluation of IIH as it is a noninvasive and practical tool to obtain in depth images. This review will discuss how OCT can be used to assess a patient with IIH, both before and after treatment, …

The primary role of brain imaging in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is to exclude other pathologies causing intracranial hypertension. However, subtle radiologic findings suggestive of IIH have emerged with modern neuroimaging.

Visual problems caused by IIH, if caught early enough, are often reversible. If you notice an increase in your eye symptoms you should contact your doctor. However, relapses in IIH and delays in recognising progression through regular assessment by an ophthalmologist can result in permanent vision loss.

2019年8月22日 · Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome due to increased intracranial pressure without any evident cause, previously known as pseudotumor cerebri. We discuss the etiology, epidemiology, clinical symptoms, treatment options, and radiological findings of IIH, a rare condition with a predominance in obese women of reproductive age ...

2001年1月1日 · In this report, we describe the case of a 9-year-old male patient with IIH without papilledema for which MR imaging of the optic nerves and pituitary gland provided important clues to the diagnosis of IIH and showed a return to normal appearance after normalization of …

2010年2月15日 · Her magnetic resonance venogram was normal, establishing the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). 2 Although individual magnetic resonance signs lack sensitivity 1 in diagnosis of IIH, a combination of signs in …
