Cerebral Venous Thrombosis and Isolated Intracranial Hypertension Without Papilledema in CDH Neurol 57:31-36, Quattrone,A.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract There is evidence that patients with chronic daily headache (CDH) may have isolated intracranial hypertension without papilledema (IHWOP). Recent studies have emphasized that isolated IH may be due to cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). CVT, as detected by MRV, occurred in 9.6% of patients who presented with CDH. Almost half of the patients with CVT had isolated IHWOP. These results suggest that MRV may be a useful tool for selecting patients with CDH who should have LP to exclude isolated IHWOP.
