A systematic review on idiopathic intracranial hypertension comorbid with polycystic ovarian syndrome and its consequences.

Background: A few publications have examined the frequency and medical implications of individuals with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), but the findings have been inconclusive. IIH and PCOS both mainly affect obese women of reproductive age and have an impact on women's health at various levels. The aim of this systematic review was to compare the prevalence and association between comorbid IIH and PCOS, and their effect on such aspects as metabolism, abnormalities in hormone levels, and reproduction.
