Evolution of Body Mass Index in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and Its Relationship With the Response to Treatment. Retrospective and Prospective Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

1. To establish the correlation between the evolution of the body mass index in benign intracranial hypertension and the response to treatments. 2. To establish the BMI at which this disease occurs. 3. To establish how much the BMI must be reduced to cure this disease. 4. To assess the evolution and response to treatments of sick people who DO NOT reduce or even continue to increase their BMI despite treatment with Acetazolamide or a possible CSF diversion
