Fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension (FIIH) is a subtype of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) characterized by rapid, severe, progressive vision loss. Surgical intervention is often performed either as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt procedure or an optic nerve sheath fenestration or, at times, both. These surgical procedures carry a significant risk of morbidity and failure. We present 2 patients in whom a temporary lumbar drain was successfully used in the management of medically undertreated pediatric FIIH, and circumvented the need for surgical intervention.
暴发性特发性颅内高压（FIIH）是特发性颅内高压（IIH）的一种亚型，其特征为迅速、严重且进行性的视力丧失。手术干预通常采用脑脊液（CSF）分流术或视神经鞘开窗术，有时两者都做。这些手术操作存在显著的发病风险和失败风险。我们报告了2例患者，在这2例患者中，临时腰大池引流成功用于治疗药物治疗效果不佳的儿童FIIH，避免了手术干预的必要性。
