Can Benign Increased Intracranial Pressure cause Unilateral Papilledema? – A Case Report |Biomedgrid

Benign Increased Intracranial Pressure: also called Idiopathic intracranial hypertension or Pseudotumor Cerebri is a condition in which there is elevation of cerebrospinal fluid pressure with unknown aetiology (so, idiopathic). This disorder usually affects women in childbearing period. With this disorder, there is No diagnosed exact pathology causing this problem. There are also no abnormalities in CSF pathways within the ventricles. Neuro-radiological diagnostic studies are also normal except those denoting high cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Also, there is no evidence of other secondary causes of increased intracranial pressure can be detected. We present a case of benign increased intracranial pressure in a young obese female presented with Unilateral papilledema and sudden unilateral deterioration of vision.
