Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) mostly affects overweight and obese women. Severe obesity is associated with poorer visual outcomes in IIH, and weight gain can precipitate IIH and increase the risk of recurrence. Conversely, weight loss can decrease intracranial pressure and is an effective IIH treatment. Therefore, accurate monitoring of weight and body mass index (BMI) is important to help guide the management of IIH patients. Our goal was to compare estimated and measured BMI among patients with presumed IIH and non-IIH controls to determine whether these vital signs should be systematically measured when evaluating patients for IIH.

特发性颅内高压患者的自我报告的体重和身高。

特发性颅内高压（IIH）主要影响超重和肥胖的女性。严重肥胖与IIH的视觉效果较差有关，体重增加会促使IIH沉淀并增加复发风险。相反，减肥可以降低颅内压，是一种有效的IIH治疗方法。因此，准确监测体重和体重指数（BMI）对于帮助指导IIH患者的治疗很重要。我们的目标是比较假定的IIH和非IIH对照患者的BMI估计值和测量值，以确定在评估IIH患者时是否应系统测量这些生命体征。
