Tolosa-Hunt-syndrome and pseudotumor cerebri are rare syndromes accompanied by headache and ophthalmological disturbances. Pseudotumor cerebri has to be differentiated against optic nerve lesions with bilateral edema. Tolosa-Hunt-syndrome must be delimited from other painful disorders of eye
A 47-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with an optic disc edema detected during a routine health check. On admission, she exhibited bilateral optic disc edema without headache and no visual disturbance. Her cerebrospinal pressure was 440 mmH2O, but we detected no abnormalities in the CSF,
This study reports the case of a 23-year-old man with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) who presented with blurred vision and diplopia, without accompanying headache. Although headache is the most common symptom associated with IIH, occasionally, it may not be observed clinically. This
Cluster headache (CH) is a well-defined primary headache syndrome, but cases of symptomatic headache with clinical features of CH have been previously reported. Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a secondary headache disorder characterized by headache and visual symptoms, without
Few cluster-like headaches have been described. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) presents with headaches in more than 90% of patients. We describe a male patient with new onset cluster-like headache secondary or related to IIH.
Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is characterized by intracranial hypertension without ventriculomegaly, in the absence of a mass lesion or meningeal process. When there is no secondary cause, it is termed 'idiopathic intracranial hypertension'. Headache is the most common symptom of PTC, present in over
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterised by increased intracranial pressure with normal cerebrospinal fluid, and no evidence of space occupying process, meningeal pathology or venous thrombosis. The condition is associated with obesity, especially in women of childbearing age. IIH
We report on two prepubescent girls with visual loss due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), or pseudotumor cerebri, both treated with recombinant human growth hormone for growth failure. The interval from starting hormone therapy to diagnosis of IIH was 3 and 18 months, respectively.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the occurrence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to describe the manifestations, treatments and outcomes in these patients.
METHODS
We reviewed the medical records of 1084 patients with SLE followed up from
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare disorder that typically affects obese women of childbearing age, but can also occur in paediatric populations. Patients usually present with diffuse, daily headache and visual disturbances, but either symptom can occur in isolation. Patients with
Benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) is a disorder of elevated resting intracranial pressure without associated intracranial abnormality. When medical therapy fails to halt visual impairments or recalcitrant headaches progress, lumbar dural puncture and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) drainage
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
Headache is the most frequent and often the most severe symptom of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) clinical presentation, although pain characteristics are very variable among sufferers and the pain may even lack in some cases. Whatever the headache features, refractoriness to treatments,
The headache profile of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH, pseudotumour cerebri) has not previously been prospectively studied. We administered a questionnaire to 63 cases at the time of diagnosis. Fifty-eight of the cases had headache and 93% of those with headache reported it to be their
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension and low cerebrospinal pressure are 2 conditions that are thought to be on opposite ends of the cerebrospinal pressure spectrum. Headache is the prominent component of both conditions. We describe a patient whose evaluation for idiopathic intracranial hypertension
