  • Title: [Rapidly progressing visual loss in idiopathic intracranial hypertension].
    Author: Skau M, Jensen R, Milea D.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2009 Jan 26; 171(5):316-7. PubMed ID: 19176162.
    Abstract:
    Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition of increased intracranial pressure of unknown aetiology. Slowly progressing visual defects secondary to papilloedema are well-known complications. Rapidly progressing visual loss is rare. A case of acute and rapidly progressing visual loss in idiopathic intracranial hypertension is presented. Rapid recognition and treatment of IIH is important, and may occasionally prompt acute surgical treatment.
