Intracranial Hypertension Etiology

Hydrocephalus

see Traumatic Intracranial Hypertension.

Cerebral venous sinus stenosis has been reported in up to 90% of patients with IIH.

Repeat studies after normalization of the intracranial pressure demonstrated normalization of this finding.

The cerebral sinus narrowing might be a consequence of the increased intracranial pressure. However, venous sinus narrowing/thrombosis could cause increased intracranial pressure as well. This situation could represent the chicken or egg debate as to which occurs first ¹⁾.
