Although cranial nerve involvement may occur, simultaneous facial and vestibulocochlear nerve dysfunction is rare and may lead to diagnostic confusion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A 42\u2010year\u2010old obese woman with metabolic comorbidities developed acute right\u2010sided peripheral facial palsy preceded by facial pain and accompanied by severe headache, pulsatile tinnitus, and blurred vision. A 5\u2010day course of oral prednisolone for presumed Bell\u2032s palsy yielded no improvement. Ophthalmologic referral on Day 7 revealed bilateral Fris\u00e9n Grade I papilledema with normal automated perimetry and absence of visual field defects. Neurological examination confirmed House\u2013Brackmann Grade III facial palsy, and audiometry demonstrated bilateral high\u2010frequency sensorineural hearing loss (right worse than left). After systematic exclusion of cerebellopontine angle lesions, demyelinating disorders, infectious neuritis, and venous sinus thrombosis, brain MRI showed a Grade IV sellar arachnoidocele and a neurovascular contact of the right facial nerve (Chavda Grade I). Lumbar puncture on Day 12 documented an opening pressure of 36\u2009cm H\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      O with normal cerebrospinal fluid, confirming IIH. Acetazolamide was started on Day 13 together with a structured weight\u2010management program. At the 2\u2010month follow\u2010up, audiometry demonstrated complete recovery. By 3 months, papilledema persisted (Fris\u00e9n Grade I), best corrected visual acuity improved to 20\/100 in both eyes, visual fields remained without enlargement of the physiological blind spot, and facial nerve function returned to House\u2013Brackmann Grade I. However, at the 6\u2010month follow\u2010up, a new localized inferior scotoma was detected on Humphrey perimetry, representing a progression from previously normal visual fields, whereas spectral\u2010domain OCT demonstrated bilateral optic atrophy with ganglion cell\u2013inner plexiform layer thinning, indicating irreversible axonal damage despite persistent papilledema.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case broadens the phenotypic spectrum of IIH, showing that facial and vestibulocochlear neuropathies are reversible with pressure reduction. Yet, progressive visual field loss may ensue despite stable papilledema, revealing the optic disc as an unreliable proxy for neuronal integrity. Only spectral\u2010domain OCT\u2014by quantifying inner retinal layer loss\u2014can expose silent axonal degeneration and must therefore become the cornerstone of long\u2010term monitoring, independent of clinical appearance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/crop\/5103077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,7]],"date-time":"2026-09-07T07:29:20Z","timestamp":1788766160000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Papilledema With Facial and Vestibulocochlear Nerve Involvement in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: An Unusual Case"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-2782-695X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ros\u00e1ngela","family":"L\u00f3pez-Mena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Rojas-Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Ruiz-Maga\u00f1a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1050-8005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo I.","family":"Arteaga-Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1159","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e3182a55f17","article-title":"Revised Diagnostic Criteria for the Pseudotumor Cerebri Syndrome in Adults and Children","volume":"81","author":"Friedman D.
