A member asked:
Had surgery to fix deviated septum and clean sinuses--really bad infection. could the infection have caused my intracranial hypertension symptoms?

Probably not.: Has the sinus procedure cured your infection? If not, talk to the ENT surgeon ASAP. There does not seem to be a relationship between sinus infection and idiopathic intracranial hypertension. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_intracranial_hypertension#Causes
