A 31-year-old healthy Asian man presented with new headaches and blurred vision. He was found to have bilateral optic disc edema (ODE) and peripapillary subretinal fluid and was initially investigated for causes of raised intracranial pressure. After referral to neuro-ophthalmology, he received a
Headaches associated with papilledema may be both life-threatening as well as vision-threatening. This review will review the following clinical features: (1) the character of headaches associated with increased intracranial pressure; (2) the visual symptoms associated with papilledema; (3) the
Data from two recent studies strongly support the hypothesis that idiopathic intracranial hypertension without papilledema (IIHWOP) could represent a powerful risk factor for the progression of pain in primary headache individuals. The first study highlights that an asymptomatic IIHWOP is much more
A 21-year-old developed progressive headaches and pulsatile tinnitus. He was found to have papilledema and a pulsatile bruit. A dural arteriovenous malformation was not recognized on brain CT or MRI, but was well documented on magnetic resonance angiography and cerebral angiography. Dural
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is a disorder typified clinically by motor and sensory neuropathy of at least 2 months' duration and pathologically by multifocal inflammatory demyelination. Its usual presentation is with features reflecting the polyneuropathy, namely limb weakness
Patients with the syndrome of chronic daily headache often report migrainous symptoms and consequently are diagnosed as having a primary headache syndrome. We report two cases of idiopathic intracranial hypertension causing chronic daily headache with migrainous features in the absence of associated
The authors hypothesized that a metformin (MET)-diet would improve symptoms of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in women who also had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hyperinsulinemia without PCOS. Changes in weight, papilledema, headache, visual fields, and overall life status were
Headaches and blurred vision in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease and secondary erythrocytosis may be attributed to hyperviscosity and traditionally were treated with phlebotomy. In the current era, phlebotomy is rarely performed in these patients except in cases of hemoptysis or
The aim of the present study was to report on the utility of continuous Pcsf monitoring in establishing the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension without papilledema (IIHWOP) in chronic daily headache (CDH) patients. We report a series of patients (n = 10) with refractory headaches and
OBJECTIVE
To compare the clinical features of patients with chronic daily headache (CDH) with idiopathic intracranial hypertension without papilledema (IIHWOP) to those with normal CSF pressure.
METHODS
A case-control study was conducted at a tertiary headache center. Cases consisted of 25
Background: To determine the prevalence of Idiopathic intracranial hypertension without papilledema (IIHWOP) testing revised diagnostic criteria by Friedman in refractory chronic headache (CH) patients. Methods: This is a prospective observational study. Each patient underwent ophthalmologic
BACKGROUND
Certain headache characteristics and associated symptoms are commonly attributed to increased intracranial pressure, but they have not been systematically studied among children in the context of revised diagnostic criteria for pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS).
METHODS
We performed a
Point-of-care ocular ultrasonography is emerging as a powerful tool to evaluate emergency department (ED) patients at risk for ophthalmologic and intracranial pathology.We present cases of 3 patients in whom optic disc swelling was identified using ocular ultrasound. Causes for optic disc swelling
