Scope note: Afección caracterizada por aumento de la presión intracraneal y clínicamente por CEFALEAS, NÁUSEAS, PAPILEDEMA, constricción periférica de los campos visuales, oscurecimiento visual transitorio, y TINNITUS pulsátil. La OBESIDAD se asocia con frecuencia con esta afección, que afecta fundamentalmente a las mujeres entre 20 y 44 años de edad. El PAPILEDEMA crónico puede producir una lesión del nervio óptico (véase ENFERMEDADES DEL NERVIO ÓPTICO) y pérdida visual (véase CEGUERA).

Scope note: A condition marked by raised intracranial pressure and characterized clinically by HEADACHES; NAUSEA; PAPILLEDEMA, peripheral constriction of the visual fields, transient visual obscurations, and pulsatile TINNITUS. OBESITY is frequently associated with this condition, which primarily affects women between 20 and 44 years of age. Chronic PAPILLEDEMA may lead to optic nerve injury (see OPTIC NERVE DISEASES) and visual loss (see BLINDNESS).
