Detailed Description
Participants The study will include group of patients with an established diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertenton meeting our inclusion criteria and will admitted to Al-Azher Univerity Hospitals (Al-Hussien and Bab El-Shaeria) after informed consent from them. The recruitment will take place after approval from the Ethics Committee and the University Council.
- They are selected according to The modified Dandy Criteria to Diagnose IIH:
-
Grade II paplledema .
-
normal neurological examination except for six nerve palsy.
-
neuroimaging criteria of normal brain parenchyma without evidence of hydrocephalus, mass or structural lesion and no abnormal meningeal enhancement on MRI.
-
normal CSF composition.
-
elevated lumbar puncture opening pressure, defined as greater than or equal to 250 mmH2O in adults (7).
- Exclusion criteria included:
-
Age less than orequal to 18 years.
-
creatinine .1.5 mg/dL.
-
severe allergic reaction to iodine contrast.
-
contraindication to general anesthesia, use of aspirin, clopidogrel or anticoagulants, thrombophilic disorder or anticardiolipin syndrome.
-
dural arteriovenous fistula or other arteriovenous lesion affecting cortical venous flow.
-
pregnancy.
-
Blood pressure must be measured to exclude malignant hypertension, as defined as a diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 120 mm Hg or systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 180 mm Hg(17).
