  • Title: Vitamin A in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with and without idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
    Author: Warner JE, Bernstein PS, Yemelyanov A, Alder SC, Farnsworth ST, Digre KB.
    Journal: Ann Neurol; 2002 Nov; 52(5):647-50. PubMed ID: 12402264.
    Abstract:
    We quantified vitamin A in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension, elevated intracranial pressure of other causes and normal intracranial pressure. Vitamin A could be detected by high-pressure liquid chromatography in most of the specimens. There was a significantly higher level of vitamin A in the cerebrospinal fluid of some patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Vitamin A toxicity may play a role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
