Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is characterized by raised intracranial pressure (ICP) without any underlying pathology, presenting with (IIH) or without papilledema (IIHWOP). Headache, often on daily basis, is the most frequent symptom. Among audiovestibular symptoms, tinnitus and dizziness

OBJECTIVE
To study brain histologic features in two cases of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) at autopsy.

In 2 clinical cases of bilateral optic disk oedema, the optic disk oedema was part of a so-called benign, or rather idiopathic, intracranial hypertension. Aetiological investigations were unable to detect any intracranial or systemic anomaly, except the fact that both patients had been on a
Sixteen unpublished observations of Benign intracranial hypertension were reviewed from a clinical, aetiological and prognostic standpoint. The hypothesis that this affection could be caused by some disturbance of the C.S.F. resorption was assessed using an experimental tests battery allowing the
A 12-year-old child was discovered (following successful renal transplantation) to have asymptomatic bilateral disk edema with preservation of optic nerve function. He had been maintained on cyclosporine, imuran and prednisone. Evaluation revealed normal intracranial imaging and normal CSF though
