Low energy diet and intracranial pressure in women with idiopathic intracranial hypertension: prospective cohort study

Abstract

Women with idiopathic intracranial hypertension who followed a low energy diet for three months had significantly reduced intracranial pressure compared with pressure measured in the three months before the diet, as well as improved symptoms and reduced papilloedema. These reductions persisted for three months after they stopped the diet.
