Benign intracranial hypertension.

J G Colebatch, J W Lance

    Australian Journal of Ophthalmology
    |August 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Benign intracranial hypertension, often linked to impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption, can cause headaches and vision problems. While treatments exist, some patients experience lasting visual issues or recurrence.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) arises from impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption.
    • It can be idiopathic, linked to obesity, or secondary to sinus obstruction, head trauma, infections, or medications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the causes, presentation, management, and outcomes of benign intracranial hypertension.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on BIH.
    • Analysis of common clinical presentations and treatment strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Common symptoms include headache and papilledema, potentially with ocular palsies.
    • Management involves conservative measures (lumbar puncture, diuretics) or surgical interventions (shunting, decompression).

    Conclusions:

    • While most patients recover, approximately 10% face severe visual impairment, and another 10% experience recurrence.
    • Further evaluation of treatment efficacy is needed.
