Case Report

Deepak Sapkota*, Singh S and L

Abstract

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a disorder of elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure of unknown cause. It usually occurs in women in the childbearing years. There is no evidence of deformity or obstruction of the ventricular system and neuro-diagnostic studies are otherwise normal except for increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure. In addition, no secondary causes of intracranial hypertension can be found. We present a case of Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in a young obese female presenting as unilateral papilledema.
