Overview

Risk Factors

The most potent risk factors in the development of IIH are:

Common risk factors

  • Age and gender
    • Most of the IIH cases happen in women in child bearing age[1], but it can also happens in children and old adult with male gender. In prepubertal age the gender is not an important risk factor and in old patients the percent of affected males was higher than females.[2][3]
  • Obesity
    • Some evidences suggest that obesity can increase intra abdominal and intracranial pressure and have a role in pathogenesis of IIH.[4]
  • Positive family history[5]
  • Medications
    • Growth hormones: Development of IIH in result of GH therapy mostly happens in one year of medication initiation, but it can also develop after several years of treatment. with stopping the use of GH, symptoms of IIH will improve.[6][7]
  • Systemic illness

Less common risk factors

Drugs such as:
