A member asked:
If i lose weight, stick to a strict diet, and take my medication, will i successfully avoid further idiopathic intercranial hypertension symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally yes: Although the cause(s) of "benign intracranial hypertension" or "pseudotumor cerebri" or iih are not known, it is clear that losing substantial weight can reverse the syndrome in many. I have even had one patient undergo weight loss surgery to prevent loss of eyesight. Good luck and good health!
