  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK536924/

  Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC), also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), is a disorder with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and associated headaches, papilledema, vision changes, or pulsatile tinnitus in the setting of normal imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) studies. It mainly affects overweight women of childbearing age. […] Thus, timely diagnosis and treatment is a must. […] The mainstays of medical treatment include: […] Weight loss: weight loss of 5 to 10% of total body weight has been found to cause remission. […] Deterrence can involve weight loss and avoiding certain medications, including retinoic acids (vitamin A), tetracyclines, growth hormones, corticosteroids, and lithium.

  Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a condition in which the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is under high pressure in the absence of an intracranial mass, venous sinus thrombosis or other primary cause (see differential diagnosis). It is also known as pseudotumor cerebri because patients present with signs and symptoms of a brain tumor without a brain tumor being present. […] Weight loss is an important part of treatment and is always recommended. Most patients improve after losing 5-10% of their total body weight. It appears that in addition to weight reduction, sodium restriction is also a useful adjunct. We recommend that patients lose about one pound a week for several months and then maintain the weight loss. […] For patients requiring medical therapy, acetazolamide (Diamox) is the most commonly used medication. It is relatively safe but nearly all patients experience the side effect of paresthesias, or numbness and tingling in the extremities.

  IIH, previously known as pseudotumor cerebri, or benign intracranial hypertension, is a condition of unknown etiology characterized by increased intracranial pressure (ICP) affecting mostly obese women of childbearing age. […] The main therapeutic goals are symptomatic relief and avoidance of permanent visual loss by reducing the ICP. […] Spinal anesthesia is safe in patients with IIH; however, large amounts of local anesthetics injected into the epidural space can further increase the ICP. […] A sphenopalatine ganglion block is a viable option to treat postdural puncture headache.

  https://patient.info/brain-nerves/idiopathic-intracranial-hypertension-leaflet

  In idiopathic intracranial hypertension there is raised pressure within the skull (raised intracranial pressure), which puts pressure on the brain. […] Treatment is aimed at preventing permanent visual loss and includes treatment with medicines. […] For people with overweight or obesity, weight loss can be a very effective treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Research shows that losing 5-10% of body weight can significantly improve symptoms of IIH, and sometimes causes the condition to go into remission. […] There are two main aims of treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension: To improve, and hopefully cure, the headaches. To prevent visual loss. […] If you are diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension, it is important that your vision be closely monitored to look for any changes or early signs of loss of vision. This can be done by regularly measuring your 'visual acuity’ (the size of letters that can be read on a wall chart), along with checking your visual fields.

  Weight loss is an absolute must for IIH if the patient is overweight. Research has suggested that losing 6-10% of initial body weight can cause IIH remission in many patients. Bariatric surgery is sometimes considered for morbidly obese patients who are unsuccessful in losing weight by more conservative ways. […] A low-calorie, low-salt diet with mild fluid restriction generally seems to be the most helpful diet for IIH. […] The carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are the first line treatment for IIH. These medicines work for IIH because they decrease the production of CSF (and thus CSF pressure is lower because production has slowed). They also have a mild diuretic effect. The most common medications used for IIH are Acetazolamide (Diamox), Topiramate (Topamax), and Methazolamide. […] It is also very important to also treat other headache disorders that may be mixed in with the IIH headaches. For example, many patients with IIH also have headache flares that easily fit criteria for migraine headaches.

  Pseudotumor cerebri, also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), is a disorder characterized by increased intracranial pressure (ICP) of unknown cause that predominantly affects obese women of childbearing age. […] All obese patients should be encouraged to lose modest amount of weight. Among patients who are obese or overweight, weight loss of about 5-10% has been found to improve symptoms and signs. In a recent study, weight loss allowed a decrease in headaches, papilledema, and ICP. However, the latter option is not effective for acute symptomatic relief and management and therefore needs to be combined with further acute treatment. It is important to ensure preservation of weight loss and avoidance of weight fluctuation in order to minimize the risk of recurrence. Bariatric surgery may be an option among morbidly obese patients.

  Treatment with medicines can work well for many people. However, if your symptoms do not improve with medical treatment or you have new loss of vision, surgery may be considered. […] The second type of surgical treatment is around the eye. A procedure called optic nerve sheath fenestration can be carried out. Small cuts are made in the protective sheath around the optic nerve. This allows CSF to escape and the pressure on the optic nerve is reduced. This procedure can be very good at helping sight (visual) symptoms associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension. However, it may have little effect on other symptoms, including headache. This is because it tends to have little effect on reducing overall pressure within the skull. […] It is essential to detect idiopathic intracranial hypertension early and to start treatment early to prevent permanent loss of vision occurring.

[…] Optic nerve sheath fenestration is the preferred surgical procedure for papilledema with associated severe vision loss but no or minimal ICP symptoms (such as headache). […] CSF shunting produces rapid reduction in ICP and is therefore most beneficial among patients with vision loss and symptoms of raised ICP.

  In some IIH patients, if the CSF pressure is too high with concern for an impending vision loss, the eye doctor (ophthalmologist) will perform an eye surgery to release the pressure on the optic nerves (optic nerve sheath fenestration) and to prevent permanent vision loss. […] Most people with IIH lead relatively normal lives. The only change for most patients is a daily medication and regular eye exams. Sometimes, for those patients who are an unhealthy weight, losing weight is all that is needed to control their IIH.

  Surgical management should be the option of choice among patients with refractory headaches or more severe/ rapidly progressive visual field loss when all other options have failed to prevent progressive visual loss. […] Optic nerve sheath fenestration is the preferred surgical procedure for papilledema with associated severe vision loss but no or minimal ICP symptoms (such as headache). […] CSF shunting produces rapid reduction in ICP and is therefore most beneficial among patients with vision loss and symptoms of raised ICP. […] Venous sinus stenting (VSS) is an emerging procedure based on the findings of venous sinus stenosis in IIH patients.

  Preventive migraine treatments are used to lessen the frequency and/or severity of migraine attacks. Preventive treatments include a variety of daily pill medications, CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), neuromodulation devices, Botox, Nurtec ODT every other day, herbal and natural supplements and vitamins, yoga and meditation, and acupuncture and acupressure. […] Optic nerve fenestration is sometimes done for papilledema that is not improving with standard medical treatments and vision continues to worsen. […] Transverse venous sinus stenting is occasionally considered as a surgical treatment option for IIH in patients with pressure gradients of more than 8 mm Hg and refractory symptoms. […] Shunting should always be a last resort option (outside of severe emergent cases which need rapid pressure relief) after every possible medical management option has failed.

  Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has no known cause and no known methods of prevention. Among patients who have been diagnosed with IIH, the goal is to prevent further visual loss and comorbid symptoms, including headache. Progression of IIH is prevented through medical and surgical treatment, as well as diet and lifestyle modifications to reduce body weight.
