Title: A Case Report Detailing a Rare Presentation of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension With Atypical Symptoms. Author: Tibi S, Gedda H, Haris M, Joy GK, Patil S. Journal: Cureus; 2024 Apr; 16(4):e59072. PubMed ID: 38800215. Abstract: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), formerly known as pseudotumor cerebri, represents a challenging diagnostic entity in neurology, characterized by elevated intracranial pressure of unknown origin.
