| | Complementary therapies such as cranial osteopathy, Indian head massage and reflexology are often very helpful, but should only be used if the neurologist or neurosurgeon is in agreement. | | | Once a shunt is in place, the patient is at risk of those complications sometimes associated with shunting - for whatever reason the procedure is performed. | | | Back pain and sciatica or arachnoiditis may occur after lumbar peritoneal shunting. |

| | Diamox is the most common CSF inhibitor used in treatment; it can cause drowsiness and hypokalemia. | | | Depending on severity there are other treatment options available, such as optic nerve fenestration, and shunts to remove excess CSF from the brain. | | | Benign intracranial hypertension (BIH), also known by the obsolete term pseudotumor cerebri is a neurologic disease that is caused by increased intracranial pressure in the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain without any indication of intracranial pathology. |

| | Benign intracranial hypertension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), sometimes called benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) or pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is a neurological disorder that is characterized by increased intracranial pressure (ICP), in the absence of a tumor or other intracranial pathology. | | | The terms "benign" and "pseudotumor" have often been used for this disorder to make clear that the increased ICP is not caused by a tumor or malignancy. | | | The chronic pressure increase in IIH is, as the word "idiopathic" indicates, of uncertain etiology; Most researchers believe that the body's ability to absorb CSF is somehow impaired in those individuals with IIH. |

| | BIH (sometimes called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension or Pseudotumour Cerebri) is a rare condition which occurs in about 1 or 2 in 100,000 people. | | | Other symptoms include headaches (often debilitating, often misdiagnosed as migraine), nausea or vomiting, problems with balance and spatial awareness, dizziness, short term memory loss and changed behaviour. | | | In some cases, two weeks treatment with steroids is sufficient to re-open the venous pathways within the brain so that the BIH resolves. |

| | Benign intracranial hypertension: Information From Answers.com |
| | Benign intracranial hypertension (BIH), more properly called idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), and previously known as pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is a neurologic disease that is caused by increased intracranial pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain without radiological indication of intracranial pathology. | | | Pseudotumor cerebri is also called benign intracranial hypertension (high pressure within the head). | | | This pressure increase is theoretically due to either overproduction (by choroid plexus cells), by blockage of CSF flow, or by poor absorption of CSF. |
