BackgroundThe principal goal when we manage patient with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is to preserve vision and prevent optic nerve atrophy (ICP). Since visual function can be severely threatened, it is crucial to evaluate the prognostic factors. Our man main goals were to identify these factors and propose therapeutic guide lines and follow-up strategy.Patients and MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study including all the patients diagnosed with IIH. Our cohort was divided into 2 subgroups according to the quality of outcome. Results: NOUHA FARHAT is Professor of Neurology...

We recruited 40 patients (16 men and 24 women). The mean age of these patients was 69±11.78 years [36-86 years]. On the basis of clinical data, we suggested Alzheimer's disease (AD) in 26 patients, frontotemporal lobar degeneration in 7, dementia with Lewy bodies (MLD) in 4, and 3 patients were classified in the group of other types of dementia (progressive supra-nuclear palsy, cortico-basal degeneration and multisystematic atrophy). For AD, the sensitivity and specificity of the 3 biomarkers (Abeta (1-42), T-tau and P-tau) were 82% and 100% respectively. Concordance between...

Wir rekrutierten 40 Patienten (16 Männer und 24 Frauen). Das Durchschnittsalter der Patienten betrug 69±11,78 Jahre [36-86 Jahre]. Aufgrund der klinischen Daten stellten wir bei 26 Patienten die Diagnose Alzheimer-Krankheit (AD), bei 7 Patienten eine fronto temporale Lobärdegeneration, bei 4 Patienten eine Lewy-Körperchen-Demenz (LKD) und 3 Patienten wurden als andere Demenzarten (progressive supra-nukleäre Lähmung, kortikobasale Degeneration und Multisystematrophie) eingestuft. Bei AD betrug die Sensitivität und Spezifität der Bestimmung der 3 Biomarker (Abeta (1-42), T-tau und...
