dc.description.abstractBackground Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a clinical syndrome characterized by increased intracranial pressure in the absence of clinical, laboratory, or radiological findings of space-occupying lesion in the cranium. Papilledema is found in majority of the patients with IIH while it is absent in only about 5–6% of the patients. Methods Our primary objective was to evaluate the patients with IIH with (n: 45) and without (n: 15) papilledema using cranial MRI and VEP analyses and to compare the obtained results. Diagnosis of IIH according to ICHD-3 criteria admitted to and followed in our clinic before receiving any treatment between 2008 and 2018 were reviewed retrospectively after obtaining approval from the Ethics Committee. Results There was no statistically significant difference between both groups’ ages (P: 0.494) while differences in lumbar puncture (LP) opening pressure and VAS were found to be statistically significant (p = 0.034, 0.001, respectively). In our VEP investigation, it was seen that latencies in the group without papilledema were seen to be closer to those in the control group (P latency: 0.706, P amplitude: 0.080). Increase in latency and decrease in amplitude were seen in the group with papilledema compared to the group without papilledema (p < 0.001). Conclusion In conclusion, alterations in the optic nerve may be detected with VEP investigation before the detection of papilledema through ophthalmoscopic examination in these patients. Thus, VEP investigation may be considered to have predictive value. VEP examination may be recommended in diagnosis and treatment and during follow-up periods. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
