Therapeutic Cerebral Fluid Puncture in Patients with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: No Short-Term Effect on Neurocognitive Function
Our findings confirm lower performance in terms of long-term verbal memory and word fluency compared to controls, as well as depressive symptoms in IIH patients. Significant improvement after short-term normalization of intracranial pressure by means of CSF drainage was seen only for word fluency. This indicates that short-term normalization of CSF pressure is not sufficient to normalize observed neurocognitive deficits.
