Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and multiple sclerosis (MS) occur with a higher incidence in women of childbearing age and may be associated with other clinical entities. Both disease processes alter cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics and ...

Unexplained elevated intracranial pressure occasionally develops in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Visual symptoms and signs are common to both conditions. An awareness of this association is particularly relevant due to the increased incidence of headache in MS and the frequent overlap o …

Significant headache in an MS patient may serve as a warning sign of developing intracranial hypertension. Recognition of subtle differences in the presentation of visual acuity, visual field defects, and subjective symptoms is essential in establishing a correct diagnosis.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by increased intracranial pressure, often in obese women of childbearing age. Both MS and IIH can present with visual symptoms, complicating the detection of increased ICP in MS patients.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and multiple sclerosis (MS) occur with a higher incidence in women of childbearing age and may be associated with other clinical entities. Both disease processes alter cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics and …

Feb 1, 2024 · Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are rare neurological disorders that largely affect females within the reproductive age group.

Jul 10, 2021 · Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and multiple sclerosis (MS) occur with a higher incidence in women of childbearing age and may be associated with other clinical entities. Both disease processes alter cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics and may present similarly with headache and visual cha …

May 1, 2021 · Significant headache in an MS patient may serve as a warning sign of developing intracranial hypertension. Recognition of subtle differences in the presentation of visual acuity, visual field defects, and subjective symptoms is essential in establishing a correct diagnosis.

Three patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for both multiple sclerosis and pseudotumor cerebri. Although coincidence is possible, intracranial hypertension may be a manifestation of demyelinating disease.

We treated three women with clinically diagnosed MS per the modified Macdonald criteria who developed symptoms and signs of elevated intracranial pressure. An awareness of this association is particularly relevant due to the increased incidence of headache in MS, and the fact that symptoms and signs in both conditions frequently overlap.
