We describe a 7-y-old boy who developed idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) during the convalescent phase of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) infection. Anti-M. pneumoniae antibody and cold hemagglutinin titer were extremely high during his course, and corticosteroid administration was noticeably effective. It supports an immunopathological mechanism for his intracranial hypertension.

: Hydrophilic polymer embolization (HPE) is a scarcely reported complication associated with endovascular procedures where the hydrophilic coating dislodges and disseminates to more distal vascular beds, leading to ischemic complications. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes associated with HPE in the literature and try to quantify it in a scoping manner. : All reports with regard to HPE in the PubMed database where clinical data were available were included.

Eclampsia is a multisystem disorder of pregnancy and the puerperium. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a neurotoxic condition characterized by various neurological symptoms, can arise from multiple causes including eclampsia. Although hemorrhage is a possible complication of PRES, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a rare occurrence in eclamptic patients with this condition.

The course of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) is highly variable and there is a lack of effective prognostic biomarkers. This study aimed to assess the potential prognostic value of the chemokines B lymphocyte chemoattractant molecule (CXCL13), eotaxin-1 (CCL11), and macrophage inflammatory protein 3-alpha (CCL20) in RRMS. Forty-two patients with MS were enrolled, along with 22 controls, 12 of the controls were idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) patients, and 10 of the controls were other neurologic diseases (OND).

Background/objectives: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disease which threatens vision and causes disabling headaches, affecting women of childbearing age with obesity. It is characterised by raised intracranial pressure (ICP), measured invasively either with lumbar punctures or intracranially-inserted monitors. There is an unmet clinical need to develop non-invasive means to assess ICP.

Purpose: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is marked by elevated intracranial pressure without an identifiable cause. This study aimed to compare predictive factors between two IIH groups: those experiencing remission (single attack) and those developing migrainous headaches, in order to identify factors influencing the disease's progression.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted after obtaining ethics committee approval.
