Awareness of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in children among pediatricians in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study
The study identified significant knowledge gaps among pediatricians regarding IIH in children, particularly among those with fewer years of clinical experience. Addressing these gaps through targeted educational programs is essential to enhance early recognition, accurate diagnosis, and effective management of pediatric IIH, ultimately reducing the risk of serious complications such as irreversible vision loss.
