We aim to examine the existing evidence about the use of Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by an increase of intracranial pressure in the absence of neurologic tumors
Acetazolamide (AAZ) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that is used in glaucoma treatment to lower IOP, by a mechanism of lowering aqueous humor production [9–12]
Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, which decreases CSF production and thereby decreases ICP and presumably the associated headache

1 Thus, the ophthalmologist should consider the individual patient’s health and medication profile when employing systemic acetazolamide
4 out of 10 from a total of 190 ratings on Drugs
ICP was measured for 10 days with twice daily drug administrations (Figure 5b)
Adult patients who present with papilloedema and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure need urgent multidisciplinary assessment including neuroimaging, to exclude life-threatening causes
The compartmentalization of the different isoforms of the carbonic anhydrase enzyme may, in part, explain the lack of evidence of the efficacy of Objectives Acetazolamide has frequently been used as a first-line treatment for idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) and other disorders which lead to a non-acute rise in intracranial pressure (ICP)
Randomised cross-over studies were The most common side effects associated with the use of oral acetazolamide include fatigue, paresthesias of the face and extremities, metallic taste in the mouth, and nausea and/or vomiting, which are related to drug-induced metabolic acidosis
Current guidelines recommend the use of intravenous loop diuretics to ameliorate symptoms of fluid overload in patients with Background Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is characterized by an elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP no identifiable cause
Topiramate is an antiepileptic drug with the secondary
