Dr. Dinesh Chaudhari, Pushpendra N Renjen, Dr Shivangi Garg

Abstract :

 Intracranial Hypertension is a disorder of unknown cause that results in raised intracranial pressure (ICP) occurring in women of childbeå years. The annual incidence of IIH is 0.9 per 100,000 in all persons but 3.5 per 100,000 in women aged 15 to 44 years. Classically, PTC is more commonly observed in overweight women of reproductive age. A definite diagnosis requires the presence of papilledema, normal level of consciousness, normal MRI (including ventricular size) except for signs referable to intracranial hypertension, and a lumbar puncture with an opening pressure measurement and normal CSF composition confirming the diagnosis. The incidence of IIH is in rapid progression in the wake of the global endemic obesity problem and expertise is absolutely required for scientific progress and a better outcome
