Abstract
A diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension with- out papilledema (IIHWOP) should be considered in unresponsive chronic daily headache (CDH) patients [1]. A CSF opening pressure (OP) above 200 mm H2O has been detected in chronic migraine patients with conflict-ing result, ranging from 10% to 86% of patients [1,2]. Moreover, controversies ex ist regarding the OP cut-off value greater than 200 or 250 mm H2O and the role of transverse sinus stenosis (TSS) [3,4].I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
