Debilitating trigeminal neuralgia secondary to idiopathic intracranial hypertension
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by raised intracranial pressure with unknown etiology. The most common neurological manifestations are headache and visual loss. Often, other cranial nerve impairments are also found, most commonly in the VI nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN)...

| description | Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by raised intracranial pressure with unknown etiology. The most common neurological manifestations are headache and visual loss. Often, other cranial nerve impairments are also found, most commonly in the VI nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating condition that is most frequently caused by neurovascular pathology, but TN secondary to IIH is a rare and poorly described topic. Possible explanations of TN in these patients include the distortion of the local anatomy at CN entry zones and fluid displacement causing distortion of the Meckel's cave. In the case below we describe the clinical course of an obese female patient with TN-like pain who underwent a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to treat IIH and experienced complete resolution of both conditions. |
