Adderley NJ, Subramanian A, Nirantharakumar K, et al. - Through a population-based matched controlled cohort study of 2,760 female patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH, a condition of unknown origin identified by raised intracranial pressure typically manifesting as papilledema, with a consequent risk of visual loss and chronic disabling headache) and 27,125 control patients, researchers evaluated the risk of composite cardiovascular events, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke/transient ischemic attack, T2DM, and hypertension in women with IIH and contrast it with the risk in women, matched on BMI and age, without the condition and to assess the prevalence and incidence of IIH. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in women seemed to be related to a twofold rise in CVD risk and alteration in the patient care to adjust risk factors for CVD may decrease long-term morbidity for women with IIH and passes a further assessment.
