    Summary

    Benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) significantly impacts vision, causing optic disc congestion in all patients. While many recover, some experience lasting visual acuity reduction or even blindness.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology

    Context:

    • Benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) affects predominantly women, presenting with diverse neurological symptoms.
    • Ocular manifestations are a hallmark of BIH, necessitating thorough visual assessment.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the spectrum of visual changes in patients with benign intracranial hypertension.
    • To evaluate the recovery and long-term visual outcomes in this patient cohort.

    Summary:

    • This study examined 72 patients with BIH, noting universal visual organ changes, primarily congestive optic discs.
    • Visual acuity reduction (45.8%) and visual field limitation (31.9%) were common; diplopia and obnubilations were also observed.
    • Complete recovery occurred in 43 patients, while 16 had residual symptoms, and 13 showed no change; 10 patients had persistent reduced vision, and one developed amaurosis.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the critical role of ophthalmological evaluation in diagnosing and managing BIH.
    • Underscores the potential for significant visual morbidity, including permanent vision loss, in untreated or inadequately treated BIH.
    • Provides data on recovery rates and long-term visual prognosis, aiding clinical decision-making.
