Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is defined as elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) with normal cerebrospinal fluid content in the absence of an identifiable cause. Patients often experience symptoms related to elevated ICP (e.g., headache); however, a subgroup of patients with elevated ICP may have optic disc edema without any associated symptoms. There are limited data about this subgroup in the literature. Our aim in this study was to characterize the initial clinical findings and visual outcomes over the follow- up period in this group of asymptomatic patients.
