Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Intensive Care Unit Management of Meningitis and Encephalitis.

Meningitis and encephalitis are neurologic emergencies that require rapid recognition and treatment. Prompt diagnosis and administration of antimicrobials, alongside adjuvant steroids in select cases, are crucial for treatment and improvement in outcomes. Severe complications of meningitis and encep…

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension presenting with obsessive thoughts: a rare neuropsychiatric manifestation "case report".

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) classically presents with headache, papilledema, and visual disturbances. Psychiatric manifestations are rare and may obscure a timely diagnosis. A 23-year-old obese female with no prior psychiatric history presented with new-onset intrusive thoughts and co…

Braided Versus Laser-Cut Stents in Venous Sinus Stenting for Pulsatile Tinnitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Venous sinus stenting (VSS) is a treatment option for patients with pulsatile tinnitus (PT); however, comparative outcome data between braided and laser-cut stent designs remain limited. A systematic literature search of MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus was conducted in accordance with PRISMA gui…

Sequential Contralateral Venous Sinus Stenting for Persistent or Recurrent Symptoms Following Unilateral Stenting: A Single-Center Case Series.

Cerebral venous sinus stenting (CVSS) is an established treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and pulsatile tinnitus (PT). Despite frequent bilateral venous sinus stenosis, treatment is typically unilateral, and data on sequential contralateral stenting for persistent or recurrent…

Evaluation of sigmoid sinus hemodynamics through four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging in pulsatile tinnitus patients caused by sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence coexisting with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

To evaluate hemodynamics in the sigmoid sinus of sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence (SSWD)-pulsatile tinnitus (PT) patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension using four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI. Thirty-five SSWD-PT patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension were prospectively enrolled, t…

An Updated Comprehensive Management Algorithm for Anterior and Lateral Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks.

Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are often secondary to elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Successful closure of a CSF leak does not treat the underlying elevated ICP. Thus, after repair, patients may continue to have symptoms and develop a recurrent CSF leak. Treatment options for ele…

Commentary: Lumbar Puncture Opening Pressure and Continuous Intracranial Pressure Monitoring: Concordance and Clinical Implications in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Ring-enhancing demyelinating lesions in the brain and optic neuritis: atypical presentation of paediatric neuropsychiatric SLE.

Paediatric-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rare but clinically significant condition, often presenting with central nervous system (CNS) involvement. The most common CNS manifestations include headaches, seizures and psychosis. We present two cases of neuropsychiatric SLE with unusual…
