Prevalence of Incidentally Detected Signs of Intracranial Hypertension on Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Their Association With Papilledema

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging signs of IH were common among patients undergoing brain MRI in this study but rarely associated with papilledema. The management of patients with incidentally detected signs of IH likely does not require systematic lumbar puncture unless concerning symptoms or papilledema are present.
