It typically affects adults but can also occur in adolescents and children, although it is less common. Numerous elements, including coagulopathy, have been documented in previous cases as potential etiological factors of IIH.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, 36 S Wasatch Dr, Salt Lake City, 84112, UT, United States.

Emerging neurostimulation methods aim to selectively modulate deep brain structures. Guiding these therapies has presented a substantial chal- lenge, since imaging modalities such as MRI limit the spectrum of benefi- ciaries. In this study, we assess the guidance accuracy of a neuronavigation method that does not require taking MRI scans.
