Abstract
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is characterized by elevated intracranial pressure in the absence of secondary causes. The treatment of IIH entails a combination of lifestyle modifications, medical therapy, and surgical intervention. This article aims to evaluate the role of acetazolamide in the treatment of IIH and identify its mechanism of action, efficacy, and side effect profile. This article also aims to discuss acetazolamide's role in conjunction with other treatment modalities.
