Has any one ever heard of inter cranial hypertension? -

Yes. Intracranial hypertension is a neurological disorder characterized by increased pressure within the skull that is NOT caused by a tumor. Basically, there is high pressure concerning the cerebrospinal fluid which surrounds and circulates through the brain amp; spinal cord. Symptoms can include severe headache, nausea/vomiting, visual disturbances and/or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). In order to diagnose intracranial hypertension, the doctor will order a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to measure the intracranial pressure. It can be treatable by drug therapy, spinal taps, and weight loss, among other things.

Yeah, my girlfriend had it.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (Pseudotumor Cerebri) Michael Wall, M.D. The University of Iowa Department of Neurology and Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences What are the typical symptoms of IIH? The symptoms most commonly reported by IIH patients followed by their frequency are: * headache (94%) * transient visual obscurations or blurring (68%) * pulse synchronous tinnitus or quot;wooshing noisequot; in the ear (58%) * pain behind the eye (44%) * double vision (38%) * visual loss (30%) * pain with eye movement (22%) Check this site: http://webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu/dept/iih/p...

Intracranial Hypertension (IH) is the general name for the disorders in which the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) pressure within the skull is too high. (Intracranial means inside of the skull. Hypertension refers to high fluid pressure. Old names for IH include Benign Intracranial Hypertension and Pseudotumor Cerebri). The Intracranial Hypertension Research Foundation (IHRF) funds and supports medical research to develop better therapies to control Intracranial Hypertension (IH) while ultimately seeking a cure for IH. The Foundation also provides support, education, and encouragement for IH patients, their families, and medical professionals. We are the only non-profit organization in the world devoted to supporting research to find a cure for IH.

yes - i had it. benign intercranial hypertension. it is essentially an excess of spinal fluid around the brain causing pressure. there are several treatments but you ll need to see a doctor/neurologist. it can either be left alone (if its not severe) or you can take medication, get a spinal tap or install a shunt... but really - a doctor can provide you with what treatment would be best for you.

its a disease
