Intracranial hypertension medical symptoms, etiology, and spectrum a cross-sectional study
Keywords:
hypertension, intracranial hypertension, etiologyAbstract
Objective: To examine intracranial hypertension patients' spectrum, clinical features, and etiologies. Study Design: A Cross-sectional study. Place and duration of study: In the Department of Neurosurgery MMC Mardan from January 2019 to July 2020. Methodology: We used specific selection criteria to reduce the pool of IH patients from 67 to 32. Statistics and frequency distributions explain patients' demographics, clinical traits, and underlying reasons. Results: According to statistics, females (n = 30; 82%) with ages ranging from 21 to 35 (n = 13; 36%) and obesity (n = 2; 9%) were over represented. The most common clinical sign was headache (n = 18; 69%). On the other hand, idiopathic intracranial pressure had the greatest occurrence (44%). Conclusion: Women between the ages of 21 and 35 who are overweight or pregnant have an increased risk of developing idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IH).
