Idiopathic Hypertension with Multiple Cranial Nerve Palsies: A Case Report and Literature Review
We report a rare case of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) with multiple cranial nerve palsies involving cranial nerves VI, VII, IX, and X in a 32-year-old female who had no prior comorbidities. Her condition improved rapidly on a ten-day regimen of acetazolamide and tablet topiramate. IIH should be considered in every patient presenting with persistent headache and multiple cranial nerve abnormalities. This paper also includes a literature review of similar cases.PMID:38510577 | PMC:PMC10951558 | DOI:10.5001/omj.2024.07 (Source: Oman Medical Journal)
