Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is a disease of unknown etiology common in obese females and presents with headache, papilledema, raised CSF opening pressure and no abnormality on CT scan or MRI of the Brain. Sino venous abnormalities are commonly detected in patients of IIH by different neuroimaging techniques. But the exact role of these Sino venous abnormalities in the causation of the disease or whether they are an effect of the disease is not yet known. The aim of the study was to assess abnormalities in MRI with MRV in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Patients and its relation with BMI. All 33 patients of IIH who presented to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital during the study period from June 2009 to May 2010 were included in the study. There were 30 females and 3 males with having Female and Male ratio were 10:1. 91% and they were between 20 and 35 years of age and most of them were married housewives. 63.64% patients had history of use of oral contraceptives. Unusually 51.52% of the patients had a BMI less than 25 indicating that they were not even overweight (BMI 25 to 30). Only 6% of the patients had BMI > 30 indicating that they were obese. Headache and papilledema were present in all patients but visual difficulties were present only in 54.54% of the patients. MRV abnormalities were detected in 27.27% (9/33) of the patients and transverse sinus hypoplasia was the commonest finding (88.89% - 8/9 patients). There was no statistically significant difference in the findings of MRV abnormalities between the males and females among the patients having BMI less or more than 25. Abnormalities in MRI with MRV in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Patients and its relationship with BMI is not statistically significant.
