Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is caused by a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the skull. Intracranial buildup of CSF can cause symptoms like pressure, pain, and vision changes over time.

Intracranial hypertension—elevated pressure within the skull—poses life-threatening risks, including strokes, hemorrhages, and brain herniation. For years, the gold standard to monitor this ...

Brain imaging of patients suspected of having idiopathic intracranial hypertension is crucial to excluding other causes of elevated CSF pressure, such as brain tumors or blood clots in the brain.
