Abstract

The patient is a 24-year-old obese woman with visual acuity 20/20 OU, perimetry showing only enlarged blind spots, and bilateral papilledema. How do I establish the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH)? What treatments should be started, if any? How often should I see this patient? Should I refer her to a neurologist?
