Idiopathic intracranial hypertension,also known as pseudotumor cerebri,is a syndrome characterized by raised intracranial pressure of unknown cause.These patients present normal neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis while increased intracranial pressure and associated symptoms and signs.Delay of treatment can cause severe visual impairment.There are some new understandings of this disease,and we will review the pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

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.

Objective: To gain initial insight into the efficacy to lower intracranial pressure (ICP), side effects, and effects on cognition of five drugs commonly used to treat idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
Background: Limited clinical data exist for the treatment for IIH. Impaired cognition is recognized in IIH and can be exacerbated by medications.

Background: In recent years, stenting has been widely used to treat patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and venous sinus stenosis (VSS); however, research comparing stenting and medical treatment (MT) remains scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of stenting and MT in treating patients with IIH and VSS.
Methods: In this single-center, retrospective, cohort study, the clinical data of patients diagnosed with IIH and VSS at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2023 were collected for analysis.
