The diagnosis and management of IIH require a multidisciplinary approach. We sought to study the incidence as well as prevalence of IIH and to evaluate the current management of IIH in the northwest of Northern Ireland. <b><i>Methods:<\/i><\/b> Medical records of patients diagnosed with IIH between 2007 and 2014 in a general hospital in Northern Ireland were reviewed. Clinical and outcome data were retrieved. <b><i>Results:<\/i><\/b> There were 45 patients with IIH, 44 women: 1 man. The mean age at presentation was 29.4 (SD 9.8) years and mean body mass index (BMI) 39.8 (SD 9.5) kg\/ m<sup>2<\/sup>. All patients had neuroimaging, 44 (98%) had CT\/MR venogram and 41 (91%) had visual perimetry. The crude incidence of IIH was 2.36 per 100,000 (95% CI 1.65-3.37). For women, the incidence was 4.65 per 100,000\/year (95% CI 3.25-6.66). The prevalence was 14.3 per 100,000 overall (95% CI 9.72-20.9) but 28.1 per 100,000 in women (95% CI 19.2-41.2). Visual field defects were identified in 25 of 41 (61%); 4 patients (9%) required shunting procedures. At follow-up, the mean BMI decreased by 1.6 kg\/m<sup>2<\/sup> (p = 0.024). <b><i>Conclusions:<\/i><\/b> The incidence of IIH in the northwest of Northern Ireland is among the highest ever reported and probably reflects the known increase in obesity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000435919","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,21]],"date-time":"2015-07-21T21:01:33Z","timestamp":1437512493000},"page":"34-39","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension in the Northwest of Northern Ireland: Epidemiology and Clinical Management"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Gavin","family":"McCluskey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David A.","family":"Mulholland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"McCarron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark O.","family":"McCarron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp-2011-302029"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.WNL.0000029570.69134.1B"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e3182a55f17"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ncl.2010.03.003"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2006.12.040"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2011.03372.x"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000367634"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijo.0802945"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-789X.2010.00799.x"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/practneurol-2014-000821"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1553-2712.2011.01147.x"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1874364101307010026"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/WNO.0000000000000106"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/01.NEU.0000163094.23923.E5"}],"container-title":["Neuroepidemiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/435919","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/435919","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:35:28Z","timestamp":1745429728000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000435919"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000435919","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0251-5350","1423-0208"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0251-5350","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0208","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
