METHODS: We carried out a retrospective study of 5 patients admitted at King Khalid National Guard Hospital, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with IIH during the period from January 2001 to December 2005. All were females with their age ranges from 24 to 40 years. The clinical presentations, and the laboratory and imaging studies were analyzed. The opening pressures of the lumbar puncture tests were documented. RESULTS: All patients were presented with headache. One had typical pain of trigeminal neuralgia, and one with neck pain and radiculopathy. Facial diplegia was present in one patient, and 2 patients had bilateral 6th cranial neuropathy. Papilledema was present in all patients except in one patient. Imaging study was normal in all patients, and they had a very high opening pressure during lumbar puncture, except in one patient. All patients achieved full recovery with medical therapy in 6 to 12 weeks with no relapse during the mean follow up of 2 years. CONCLUSION: Atypical findings in IIH are rare and require a high index of suspicion for early diagnosis  ردمد : 1658-3175  اسم الدورية : المجلة الطبية السعودية  المجلد : 28  العدد : 5  سنة النشر : 1428 هـ 2007 م  نوع المقالة : مقالة علمية  تاريخ الاضافة على الموقع : Monday, March 31, 2008  الباحثون اسم الباحث (عربي) اسم الباحث (انجليزي) نوع الباحث المرتبة العلمية البريد الالكتروني صالح باعيسى Baeesa, Saleh باحث مشارك دكتوراه   الملفات اسم الملف النوع الوصف  IIH-atypical.pdf pdf مشاهدة المقالة العلمية كاملة الرجوع إلى صفحة الأبحاث
