Defining the Phenotype and Prognosis of People With Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension After Cerebrospinal Fluid Diversion Surgery

Abstract

Detailed characteristics of patients with sight-threatening IIH who received CSF diversion surgery and their typical postoperative recovery are presented. These parameters should guide physicians as to when patients with IIH may require surgery and enable the early identification of outliers who fail to respond. Papilledema and PMD recovered but GCL atrophy continued for 12 months. The implication of this delayed atrophy is unknown.
