See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A mother(aged 36 years)and her 2 sons(aged 14 and 9 years)undeveloped IIH at different times.Neuroimaging showed an empty sella in the mother,while IIH was associated with spinal and radicular pain in her 2 sons.The mother and the younger son developed permanent visual loss.Ophthalmologic follow- up in our patients indicates that IIH is a chronic disease.Surgical treatment should be considered an option.
