Drug-induced intracranial hypertension
(Redirected from Drug-induced intracranial hypertension (DIIH))
Drug-induced intracranial hypertension (DIIH) or medication-induced intracranial hypertension is a condition of higher than normal intracranial pressure (raised pressure inside of the skull) with the main cause being a drug.[1] This condition is similar to idiopathic intracranial hypertension, however the etiology in this instance is a drug.[2] The most frequent symptoms are headaches, pulsatile tinnitus, diplopia, and impairment of visual acuity.[1][3] The only observable signs of the condition may be papilledema and bilateral sixth cranial nerve (abducens) palsies.[3]
