A case of fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension managed by medical management alone
Jyoti Matalia, Shweta B KaranviIdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome [1] that is characterized by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), commonly affecting obese women in the childbearing years without any exact underlying cause. Fulminant IIH is a subtype of IIH that presents with an acute onset of signs and symptoms of raised intracranial hypertension with severe vision loss and rapid worsening of vision over a few days. It is a neuro-ophthalmologic emergency that requires aggressive treatment. [2] Here, we report a case of fulminant IIH treated conservatively by medical management alone.
