Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in Asians: a retrospective dual-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There have been limited data on idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in Asians and there remain uncertainties whether a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure of 250 mm CSF is an optimum diagnostic cutoff. The aims of the present study included (1) characterization of IIH patients in Taiwan, (2) comparisons among different diagnostic criteria for IIH, and (3) comparisons between patients with CSF pressures of > 250 and 200-250 mm CSF.

Methods

This retrospective study involved IIH patients based on the modified Dandy criteria from two tertiary medical centers in Taiwan. Clinical manifestations were retrieved from electronic medical records, and findings on ophthalmologic examination and magnetic resonance images (MRIs) were reviewed.
