The Role of Weight Loss and Acetazolamide in the Treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (Pseudotumor Cerebri)
Ophthalmology 105:2313-2317, Johnson,L.N.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Approximately 6% weight loss was associated with resolution of marked papilledema in these authors' patients. The benefit of acetazolamide in IIH is questioned since weight loss, rather than acetazolamide, appeared to have been the catalyst for reducing the severity of papilledema.
