Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a dominant role in migraine. This prospective study was designed to investigate CGRP levels in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and compare the results of migraine patients and healthy controls (HC). As a second objective, CGRP levels obtained from IIH patients defining sustained headache after the resolution of papilledema were compared with those not defining post-IIH headache.
