[Description of the follow-up protocol for idiopathic intracranial hypertension in the neuro-ophthalmological unit of a tertiary hospital].

Aim: To review the results of implementing a protocol for following up patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IICH) in a neuro-ophthalmological unit (NOU).

Patients And Methods: A review of the literature was conducted in order to determine the examinations that needed to be included in the follow-up protocol, as well as the optimum frequency of visits and the most adequate duration of the follow-up. Later, a prospective review was performed of the patients that have been included since the NOU was set up and they were compared with the patients included in the IICH register prior to the creation of the NOU.
