High Pressure in Brain Symptoms and Treatment| Dr.Roopesh Kumar

Today, we will discuss a condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIHT), which causes excessive pressure in the head. Symptoms include chronic headaches, blurry vision, vomiting, and sometimes obesity. Diagnosis involves eye checkups and MRI scans, revealing subtle details such as increased tears around eye nerves and water around the pituitary gland. IIHT can lead to severe vision loss if left untreated, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial to prevent blindness. CSF Rhinorrhea, characterized by fluid discharge from the nose, can also occur as a result of high intracranial pressure. It is often mistaken for allergies or a common cold. Patients with persistent fluid discharge should consult an ENT or neurologist for diagnosis and treatment, which may involve closing the hole causing the leakage to prevent infections and reduce the risk associated with CSF Rhinorrhea.
