Intracranial Hypertension Synonyms


Intracranial Hypertension, also known as pseudotumor cerebri, is a medical condition characterized by increased pressure within the skull. This condition can lead to various symptoms such as severe headaches, vision problems, and even permanent vision loss if left untreated. While the term "Intracranial Hypertension" is commonly used by medical professionals, there are several other synonyms that are used to describe this condition.


One of the most commonly used synonyms for Intracranial Hypertension is "Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension" (IIH). The term "idiopathic" refers to the fact that the cause of this condition is often unknown. Another synonym that is frequently used is "Benign Intracranial Hypertension" (BIH). The term "benign" is used to indicate that this condition is not caused by a tumor or other serious underlying condition.


Other synonyms for Intracranial Hypertension include "Pseudotumor Cerebri" and "Empty Sella Syndrome." Pseudotumor Cerebri is a term that is used to describe the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure without an actual tumor present. Empty Sella Syndrome refers to a condition where the pituitary gland becomes flattened and compressed due to increased pressure within the skull.


It is important to note that while these terms are used interchangeably, they all refer to the same medical condition characterized by increased pressure within the skull. The choice of synonym may vary depending on the medical professional or the context in which it is being discussed.


In conclusion, Intracranial Hypertension has several synonyms including Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, Benign Intracranial Hypertension, Pseudotumor Cerebri, and Empty Sella Syndrome. These terms are used to describe the same medical condition characterized by increased pressure within the skull.
