Abstract
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension [IIH] formerly knowns as pseudotumour cerebri is a condition characterized by elevated intracranial pressure with normal Cerebro Spinal Fluid [CSF] findings and without a demonstrable evident cause for the same in neuroimaging or other evaluation. The clinical features can be headache, papilloedema, cranial nerve palsies. Vision loss can rarely occur in severe raised intracranial pressure. We present a case of 25 year old female who presented with bilateral rapidly progressive vision loss due to IIH.
