Abstract

One of the most underestimated types of chronic headaches is headaches as a result of cerebro-spinal fluid dysregulation disorders. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) presents with headache and visual symptoms and usually is associated with papilledema. We identified patients with IIH in a chronic headache population presenting to a hospital-based headache clinic, and studied its associations with clinical, sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.
