    Abstract:
    Idiopathic intracranial hypertension(IIH) is a kind of diffuse brain swelling disease. Several causes could lead to IIH. Intracranial venous circulatory disturbance is more common. The clinical manifestations include intracranial pressure increased, headache and papilledema. Since IIH usually has serious impact on vision even blindness, the diagnosis and corresponding treatment are especially important. This review is to discuss the new insights on the therapeutic options of IIH, which cover medical treatment, weight-losing therapy, surgical treatment, interventional therapy and supportive treatment.(Chin J Ophthalmol, 2016, 52: 948-951).
