Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a disorder characterised by raised intracranial pressure that predominantly affects young, obese women. Pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated, but several causal factors have been proposed. Symptoms can include headaches, visual loss, pulsatile tinnitus, and back and neck pain, but the clinical presentation is highly variable. Although few studies have been done to support evidence-based management, several recent advances have the potential to…

IICH, FM, and CFS share a large variety of symptoms that might all be explained by the same pathophysiology of increased cerebrospinal pressure.

We propose that chronic idiopathic spinal fluid pressure dysregulation underlies both FM and the clinical entity of symptomatic Tarvlov cysts, which both present as peripheral neurological disorders. The authors This is the third in a series of blogs providing overviews of new hypotheses for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (FM, […]

The clinical syndrome idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also termed pseudotumor cerebri, consists of symptoms of headache, nausea, vomiting and visual field defects in combination with findings of papilledema. IIH is more commonly...
