Macular characteristics in unilateral idiopathic FTMH and fellow eyes

This retrospective observational study, conducted at a single site, aimed to compare characteristics of the macular structure and foveal pit in unilateral full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) and healthy fellow eyes. Full-thickness macular holes were further classified into three categories: (1)...

Clinical and neuro-ophthalmologic predictors of visual outcome in idiopathic intracranial hypertension

This prospective study of 40 patients aims to assess visual morbidity in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Final visual outcome of patients was compared with clinical and neuro-ophthalmic parameters such as visual acuity, visual field, contrast sensitivity, retinal nerve...

Idiopathic orbital pseudotumor as first sign of systemic inflammatory disease

The authors describe four children in whom idiopathic orbital pseudotumor (IOP) was the initial solitary finding with systemic inflammatory disease developing later. Four children were seen over a five-year period. Mean age was 9.75 years (2-14). Three were white and...

A case study of posterior globe flattening in idiopathic intracranial hypertension

The authors present a single case of posterior globe flattening without papilloedema in idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The case was a 64-year-old woman with a one-year history of transient visual loss in her left eye only. Visual acuity was 20/20 in...

Natural history of idiopathic intracranial hypertension depending on incidental or symptomatic presentation

The authors present a large retrospective review cohort of consecutive patients diagnosed or presumed idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) over a three-year period at a single tertiary centre. Patients on medication with a known aetiology for IIH were excluded. The cohort...

Assessing possibility of deferring lumbar puncture in mild idiopathic intracranial hypertension

This was a retrospective review of patients consecutively presenting with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) to a tertiary neuro-ophthalmology clinic without a lumbar puncture (LP) over an eight-year period. Inclusion criteria included true optic disc oedema, retinal nerve layer thickness ≤300µm,...

Case presentation: seizures as a presenting sign of idiopathic intracranial hypertension

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome of isolated elevated intracranial pressure of unknown cause. Neurological examination in IIH is typically normal except for papilloedema and possible cranial nerve six palsy, although rare, atypical symptoms and signs can occur. With...

A practical approach to uveitis screening in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

The multinational Interdisciplinary Working Group for Uveitis in Children consists of 10 paediatric rheumatologists and five paediatric ophthalmologists with expertise in paediatric uveitis. They identified a simplified screening recommendation to enable local eyecare professionals (ECPs) to screen children with juvenile...

Retrospective review of visual outcomes in Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH)

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a clinical syndrome characterised by headache and papilloedema that can lead to significant visual morbidity. IIH is diagnosed by the modified Dandy criteria, which include normal neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition, high CSF opening...

UKNOS Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Study Day

Aimed at ophthalmic professionals, this online study day will cover holistic and ophthalmic care in IIH. With speakers from IIH UK, and leading researchers and clinicians in obesity and neuro ophthalmology.

Optic disc haemorrhages as a risk factor for poor outcomes in IIH

This is a report of a review of optic disc photographs, of the type and frequency of the optic disc haemorrhages (ODH), papilloedema grades and other fundoscopic abnormalities at baseline. In the study eyes of 133 patients enrolled in the...

Local surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia

This is a retrospective review of a new surgical treatment of intractable periorbital neuropathic pain. Five patients with post-herpetic (three), post-traumatic (one) and idiopathic (one) neuralgia underwent transection of the nerves supplying the dermatomes affected by the neuropathic pain. The...
