REVIEW
Current and emerging diagnostic and management approaches for idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics 2023 May
INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is characterized by raised intracranial pressure that triggers disabling headaches and can cause permanent visual loss. There is an increased incidence and prevalence of the condition linked to location-specific obesity rates. There are no licensed treatments for the condition. The majority of approaches to managing the disease prioritize resolution of papilledema. However, evidence is emerging that idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a systemic metabolic disease.
AREAS COVERED: The aim of this review is to present the emerging pathophysiology evidence which is leading to novel targeted therapeutics. The diagnostic pathway is outlined. The current and potential management approaches for idiopathic intracranial hypertension are also discussed.
EXPERT OPINION: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a condition with metabolic dysregulation with systemic manifestations that are present over and above what can be expl.ained by obesity alone. While most of the current management of this condition focuses on the eyes, future management needs to address the disabling headaches and the systemic risks of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and major cardiovascular events.
