Case series of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in three patients with immune-complex glomerulonephritis
Beteiligte Einrichtungen
Abstract
Case presentation: We report three cases (two females) of concurrent diagnosis of IIH and immune-complex glomerulonephritis. All patients presented with typical IIH symptoms of headache and visual disturbances. Two patients had been diagnosed with IgA-nephropathy only few weeks prior to IIH diagnosis. The third patient had been diagnosed earlier with terminal kidney failure due to a cryoglobulin glomerulonephritis.
Conclusion: We propose a possible link between renal deposition of immune-complexes and increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Pathophysiological hypotheses and clinical implications are discussed. We recommend clinical awareness and further systematic research to obtain more information on the association of IIH and immune-complex glomerulonephritis.
