Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare neurological disorder usually affects overweight woman aged between 15 and 45 years, characterized by increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure without clinical and radiological evidences of intracranial pathology. IIH is characterized by headache, occurring in more than 90 % of cases , and papilloedema. This is a self-limiting disease usually associated with a variety of medical and endocrinological conditions such as obesity, steroid withdrawal, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism It has also been described in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma on l-thyroxin replacement therapy We report a case of a young patient who develop IIH together with a thyroid carcinoma in absence of any treatment, clinically and biochemically euthyroid at the time of her evaluation.

Abstract

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare neurological disorder usually affects overweight woman aged between 15 and 45 years, characterized by increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure without clinical and radiological evidences of intracranial pathology. IIH is characterized by headache, occurring in more than 90 % of cases , and papilloedema. This is a self-limiting disease usually associated with a variety of medical and endocrinological conditions such as obesity, steroid withdrawal, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism It has also been described in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma on l-thyroxin replacement therapy We report a case of a young patient who develop IIH together with a thyroid carcinoma in absence of any treatment, clinically and biochemically euthyroid at the time of her evaluation.
