ABSTRACT
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a rare neurological disorder characterized by increased intracranial pressure, which can lead to visual loss and headaches. While medical therapy exists, weight loss is the only disease-modifying treatment. Weight loss is the only therapy that leads to sustained resolution of papilledema. Involving the patient in their disease management through patient engagement is a way to improve disease outcomes, and strengthen the therapeutic relationship. This feature discusses an overview of the disease, a patient's experience, and a physician's perspective.
