TL;DR
A 64-year-old Egyptian man presented with a 1-week history of acute onset of left eye ptosis and a transient episode of complete visual loss in the same eye, lasting a few seconds, underscores the importance of considering IIH diagnosis in patients with unexplained visual or ocular presentations.
Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a self-limited inflammatory thyroid disorder that typically produces a transient thyrotoxic phase. Intracranial hypertension (IH) is a rare but potentially sight-threatening complication of thyrotoxicosis, reported almost exclusively in hyperthyroidism, with only a single previous report l...
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by elevated intracranial pressure without an identifiable mass lesion, hydrocephalus, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, or abnormal cerebrospinal fluid composition. Diagnosis during pregnancy can be challenging because headache and visual symptoms overlap with...
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) can usually present with headache and a group of specific imaging findings that include diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement, subdural effusions, and cerebellar tonsil herniation, and due to the Monro–Kellie hypothesis, there is compensatory venous engorgement which can manifest...
Background: Takayasu arteritis is a granulomatous large-vessel vasculitis that usually becomes apparent only after stenotic damage has occurred and can be difficult to recognise when classical peripheral vascular signs are absent. Objective: To describe the clinical course, diagnostic challenges and long-term outcome o...
Background: Headache and facial pain may occur in patients with meningioma, but their diagnostic significance is often underestimated when pain resembles a primary headache phenotype or occurs in a patient with a long-standing history of tension-type headache. Cavernous sinus meningiomas are particularly relevant in he...
Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) classically presents with headache and visual disturbances; however, some patients remain minimally symptomatic and are identified only through incidental detection of optic disc edema. The prevalence of such presentations remains uncertain, and early recognition i...
