Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is defined as a syndrome of raised intracranial pressure with normal imaging of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition. There are many controversies and myths that surround IIH. Although patients of IIH may present "typical" symptoms and signs of raised intracranial pressure, clinical scenarios often vary. A typical clinical and radiological finding poses significant problems in diagnosis and management of patients with IIH. We have tried to resolve these controversies and provide a comprehensive update on different aspects of IIH. In this article, we review the common problems encountered while dealing with patients of IIH.
特发性颅内高压(IIH)被定义为一种颅内压升高且脑部影像学及脑脊液(CSF)成分正常的综合征。围绕IIH存在诸多争议和误解。尽管IIH患者可能出现颅内压升高的“典型”症状和体征,但临床情况往往各不相同。典型的临床和影像学表现给IIH患者的诊断和管理带来了重大问题。我们试图解决这些争议,并对IIH的不同方面提供全面的最新信息。在本文中,我们回顾了在处理IIH患者时遇到的常见问题。
