Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) which is caused by bilateral transverse venous sinus stenosis is defined as a syndrome of raised intracranial pressure with normal imaging of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition. There are many controversies and myths that surround IIH. Although patients of IIH may present “typical” symptoms and signs of raised intracranial pressure, clinical scenarios often vary. A typical clinical and radiological finding poses significant problems in diagnosis and management of patients with IIH. We have tried to resolve these controversies and provide a comprehensive update on different aspects of IIH caused by bilateral transverse venous sinus stenosis. In this article, we review the common problems encountered while dealing with patients of IIH. Here we present a case of bilateral transverse venous sinus stenosis who later complaints of blurring of vision, retro orbital pain with eye movements, headache and nausea.
