Therapeutic effect of a single lumbar puncture in idiopathic intracranial hypertension
This short-term follow-up study in pwIIH undergoing a single LP suggests a moderate effect on ophthalmological but not headache outcomes. The usefulness of LP as a therapeutic measure in IIH remains controversial and should likely be reserved for patients with limited treatment options, e.g., in pregnancy or intolerability to medication.
