Summary

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a rare disease, primarily affecting overweight females of child-bearing age. Patients suffer from increased intracranial pressure (ICP), typically resulting in headaches, visual disturbances and bilateral papilledema, pulsatile tinnitus and cognitive deficits. The disease is difficult to diagnose, treat and monitor. The only current method of measuring the ICP in day-to-day clinical practice is by lumbar puncture. This procedure is invasive, and often painful for the patient. There is an unmet need of methods that can reliable measure or estimate ICP in a non-invasive manner. Ultrasound is one such potential method, and the aim of this study is to investigate the use of ocular ultrasound and transcranial doppler to measure or estimate ICP.
