Intercranial Hypertension Research Foundation
| Intracranial hypertension (IH) is the general term for the neurological disorders in which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure within the skull is too high. (Also known as Psuedotumor Cerebri). Chronic intracranial hypertension can take a huge physical toll. A formerly active and productive person may become too sick to take part in daily tasks. Frequently, someone with chronic IH can appear outwardly well and is frustrated in attempting to convey his or her painful circumstances. Physicians are equally frustrated since they have so little to use to combat this disorder. Most people with chronic IH experience three characteristic symptoms: severe headache; visual changes due to swollen optic nerves (papilledema); and a whooshing noise in one or both ears that is correlated with the pulse (pulse-synchronous tinnitus). The headache that accompanies IH is unbearably painful and, most notably, is not relieved by any migraine, conventional headache or pain medication. It has been described as the worst headache ever. In fact, many people with undiagnosed intracranial hypertension end up in the emergency room, believing that they are suffering from the worst migraine headache imaginable. |
