Reduction of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension with Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist Use.
Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) secondary to idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a recognized risk factor for anterior and lateral skull base cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. A recent randomized controlled trial (Mitchell et al) demonstrated a significant reduction of ICP in IIH with…
Predictive Validity of Hypothesized Risk Factors for Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome.
To assess the predictive validity of comorbid conditions hypothesized to be risk factors of superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS). Retrospective case-control study. A metropolitan health care system. Adult patients with superior canal dehiscence syndrome (n=152) and matched controls (n=438) betw…
Coexistence of acromegaly and raised intracranial pressure: insights from a rare case report and literature review.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare condition characterized by increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure without an intracranial mass, mainly affecting overweight women of reproductive age. It commonly presents with headache, visual disturbance, and papilledema. Acromegaly is an uncomm…
Changes in Mamillopontine Distance and Pontomesencephalic angle following Treatment for Pediatric Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.
Pediatric idiopathic intracranial hypertension requires objective, noninvasive markers for diagnosis and follow-up. We aimed to determine whether mammillopontine distance and pontomesencephalic angle, two simple sagittal MRI measurements, reflect treatment-related changes. This retrospective study i…
Papilledema and related clinical and paraclinical visual assessment in cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis versus idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a life-threatening disorder which can present with papilledema. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) also presents with papilledema, but is a relatively benign condition. Despite often presenting in a similar manner, CVST and IIH may lead to marke…
Potential role of tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, for preventive treatment of migraine: A case series.
Obesity is a known comorbidity of migraine that can increase attack frequency and severity and lead to disease chronification. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and related medications have demonstrated benefits beyond glycemic control and weight management, with emerging evidence su…
The Clinical Characteristics and Laboratory Findings of Early and Late Onset Pediatric Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Single-Centre Experience.
The objection of the study was to evaluate the features of pediatric idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) at different age groups. This prospective study was done in Pediatric Neurology Department, National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital, Bangladesh from January 2018 to June 2020. Tot…
Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis presented as a migraine headache with normal D-dimer: a case report and literature review.
Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis (SSST) is a rare type of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), characterized by blood clot formation in the superior sagittal sinus, leading to increased intracranial pressure. This report highlights a case of SSST presenting atypically as a migraine with normal…
