This book provides a valuable guide to understanding idiopathic
intracranial hypertension (IIH), which is a very complex and
painful disease. It is a chronic, often disabling condition
resulting in headaches, visual loss, and ringing in the ears. This
condition was thought to be rare but is becoming much more common,
especially as the population becomes more overweight. Patients with
this condition often suffer from intractable headaches with poor
quality of life. Very few physicians specialize in this condition,
and as a result, there is almost no information or resources
available to those trying to understand this condition. The text is
designed to take very complex neurosurgical anatomy, principles,
and treatments and reduce them down into simple principles. The
book contains 12 chapters, each organized into distinct sections.
All chapters also contain key points from those paragraphs to
summarize useful take home messages. Written by an expert
specializing in this debilitating condition, Idiopathic
Intracranial Hypertension Explained serves as a valuable guide
towards understanding and treating IIH. The ultimate goal is to
empower patients and families with knowledge about the disease.
