Özet
Objective: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a syndrome characterized by symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the etiological and clinical features of the cases with the diagnosis of intracranial hypertension. Material and Methods: 14 patients with at least one year of follow up at Ege University Medical School Pediatric Neurology Department with Idiopathic intracranial hypertension diagnosis were included. The etiologic, clinical, treatment features and prognoses were evaluated. Results: Among 14 patients 9 were girls and 5 were boys. Their ages ranged from 3-17 years and the mean age was 10.42 (± 4.65 years). The most common complaint was headache. Seven patients (57.14%) were diagnosed as idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The etiologic factors detected in patients with secondary intracranial hypertension were sinusitis, hypervitaminosis A, obesity, sagittal sinus thrombosis, transverse sinus thrombosis and neuro-Behcet. All of the cases received medical treatment. Optic nerve fenestration was applied to a patient who did not benefit from medical treatment. One patient had recurrence. Conclusion: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is one of the preventable causes of visual loss and rapid diagnosis and treatment are important because of the rare occurrence of visual field loss and decrease in the accuracy of visual acuity despite adequate treatment. © 2018 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
