000000699 520__ $$aIdiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a condition characterized by elevated intracranial pressure without an identifiable cause and can lead to papilledema, visual field loss, severe headache, and potential blindness. Prior studies suggest that weight gain may be associated with worsening visual outcomes in IIH. This study describes a population of women diagnosed with IIH and examines the relationship between body weight in the year preceding diagnosis and the severity of visual field deficits at presentation. Understanding this association may help clarify the role of weight changes in disease progression and inform earlier clinical management strategies for individuals at risk of vision loss.
