  • 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. The classical clinical triad of headache, visual disturbances, and papilledema provides a well-established framework for diagnosis; however, the heterogeneity of IIH presentations, combined with the absence of an overt causative factor, continues to perplex clinicians. This case report delves into the complexities of a rare IIH presentation in a 32-year-old male, highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of this condition beyond its traditional confines.
