Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Associated with Iron Deficiency Anaemia: A Lesson for Management

Abstract

These cases present an association between IDA and IH, in the absence of cerebral sinus thrombosis. As a clinically significant proportion of cases presenting with signs of IIH have IDA, we recommend all patients presenting with IIH have full blood counts and if they are found to be anaemic, they should be treated appropriately.
