====== Benign intracranial hypertension ======

[[Idiopathic intracranial hypertension]] is the preferred term for this condition, replacing [[pseudotumor cerebri]], which often includes cerebral [[venous sinus thrombosis]] and other etiologies of [[Intracranial hypertension]], and [[benign intracranial hypertension]], which does not take into account that some IIH patients do not have a “benign” course and go on to irreversibly [[vision loss]]
