Idiopathic intracranial hypertension; discovering the neurological effects of critical illness

This month Beau Bruce (assistant professor of ophthalmology and neurology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta) discusses what we do and don’t know about idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and offers some clinical advice on the syndrome for neurologists.

And Charles Bolton (professor in the Department of Medicine, Queen’s University, Ontario, Canada) talks us through his investigations in the 1980s which discovered critical illness could cause neurological problems.
