Clinical and neuro-ophthalmologic predictors of visual outcome in idiopathic intracranial hypertension

This prospective study of 40 patients aims to assess visual morbidity in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Final visual outcome of patients was compared with clinical and neuro-ophthalmic parameters such as visual acuity, visual field, contrast sensitivity, retinal nerve...

Prediction of visual outcome in IIH

In this prospective study, visual outcome of 40 patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) was compared with clinical and neuro-ophthalmic parameters. The purpose of this was to determine any correlation to try and predict visual outcome for IIH patients. Parameters...

A case study of posterior globe flattening in idiopathic intracranial hypertension

The authors present a single case of posterior globe flattening without papilloedema in idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The case was a 64-year-old woman with a one-year history of transient visual loss in her left eye only. Visual acuity was 20/20 in...

Assessing possibility of deferring lumbar puncture in mild idiopathic intracranial hypertension

Current literature evidence for fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension

Fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rapid vision-degrading presentation of IIH with limited published studies. This narrative review aims to collate current knowledge around fulminant IIH presentation and visual outcomes. Search terms included IIH, benign intracranial hypertension, or pseudo-tumour...
