Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome characterized by symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure without localising neurological findings in an alert and oriented patient. There is not any deformity or obstruction of the ventricular system and neuroradiological studies are normal
otherwise except for increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure.
Loss of visual function is the only major form of morbidity associted with IIH.
In this study, we investigated neurological and neuroradiological signs, treatment and prognosis of 15 patients with IIH.
Keywords: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, Etiology,Treatment
