Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition where the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain increases without a known cause. 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.

Ruiz Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science (ALC, AZC, O-oA), McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, Houston, Texas; Robert Cizik Eye Clinic (ALC, AZC, O-oA), Houston, Texas; and Texas Children's Hospital (JLM, RPP), Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas.
Background: Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) syndrome is a disorder of increased intracranial pressure, most commonly affecting overweight women of childbearing age. Malignant PTC (MPTC) is a rare presentation that involves rapidly worsening vision, often necessitating surgical intervention to prevent permanent vision loss. The goal of this study was to determine whether radiographic findings of PTC are predictive of MPTC and the final visual outcome.
