      abstract = {Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is  characterized by elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure  without an identifiable cause, commonly affecting  overweight women of childbearing age. Diagnosis follows the  Modified Dandy Criteria, and management typically begins  with weight loss and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors;  surgical options are considered for refractory cases. Given  the link between obesity and IIH, this study evaluated  whether absolute weight loss, percent weight loss, or BMI  change predict symptom improvement. Logistic regression  revealed weight loss significantly increased the likelihood  of improvement in headache, vision, and tinnitus. These  findings support weight reduction as a key therapeutic  recommendation for IIH patients.},
