Popis: PURPOSE Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by raised intracranial pressure (ICP), normal cerebrospinal composition and exclusion of alternative causes to increased ICP. The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term visual outcome in a Danish population of IIH patients. METHODS Retrospective chart review of 41 women diagnosed with IIH between June 2007 and March 2013. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), colour vision, grade and type of visual field (VF) defects and grade of papilloedema according to the Modified Frisen Score were recorded at baseline visit (V0), 2-6 months (V1) and 13 months follow-up visit (V2) from time of diagnosis. RESULTS Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was reduced in 25% of eyes at V0, in 10% at V1 and in 15% at V2. Colour vision was barely affected. Visual field (VF) was affected (>grade 0) in 87% of eyes at V0 and VF defect grade significantly improved by 0.58 at V1 (p-value
