| Abstract;We reviewed the neuro-ophthalmological features in 7 cases of benign intracranial hypertension. Three cases were under 20 years of age. The series comprised 4 males and 3 females. Obesity was not an essential factor. Younger patients sought medical advice for esotropia or diplopia secondary to abducens palsy. Grown-up patients had transient amaurosis or visual impairment as chief complaints. As diagnostic imaging gave negative results, ophthalmological signs, including papilledema, visual and motor disturbances, served as key in the early diagnosis of benign intracranial hypertension. We advocate careful neuro-ophthalmological observations in order to prevent permanent visual loss induced by prolonged intracranial hypertension. (author abst.) |
