Abstract

The idiopathic intracranial hypertension randomized controlled weight trial (IIH:WT) established that weight loss through bariatric surgery significantly reduced intracranial pressure compared to a community weight management intervention. This sub-study aimed to evaluate the amount of weight loss required to reduce intracranial pressure and to explore the impact of the different bariatric surgical approaches.
