Coexistence of optic disc drusen and idiopathic intracranial hypertension in a non-obese female
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIHT) is a headache syndrome characterized by elevated intracranial pressure with normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) content, normal neuro imaging with optic disc edema. Optic disc drusen (ODD) presents a diagnostic challenge as it can mimic disc edema. Although t...

| description | Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIHT) is a headache syndrome characterized by elevated intracranial pressure with normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) content, normal neuro imaging with optic disc edema. Optic disc drusen (ODD) presents a diagnostic challenge as it can mimic disc edema. Although the appearance of ODD and disc edema can at times appear similar, the etiology and treatment of these two conditions differ. We report a case of young non-obese female who was referred for headache and on imaging had coexistence of ODD and IIHT. |
