Weight Management Interventions for Adults With Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Practice Recommendations. Neurology 2023; 101:e2138-e2150. [PMID: 37813577 PMCID: PMC10663033 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000207866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is associated with obesity; however, there is a lack of clinical consensus on how to manage weight in IIH. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate weight loss interventions in people with IIH to determine which intervention is superior in terms of weight loss, reduction in intracranial pressure (ICP), benefit to visual and headache outcomes, quality of life, and mental health. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023339569). MEDLINE and CINAHL were searched for relevant literature published from inception until December 15, 2022. Screening and quality appraisal was conducted by 2 independent reviewers. Recommendations were graded using Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network methodology. RESULTS A total of 17 studies were included. Bariatric surgery resulted in 27.2-27.8 kg weight loss at 24 months (Level 1- to 1++). Lifestyle weight management interventions resulted in between 1.4 and 15.7 kg weight loss (Level 2+ to 1++). Bariatric surgery resulted in the greatest mean reduction in ICP (-11.9 cm H2O) at 24 months (Level 1++), followed by multicomponent lifestyle intervention + acetazolamide (-11.2 cm H2O) at 6 months (Level 1+) and then a very low-energy diet intervention (-8.0 cm H2O) at 3 months (Level 2++). The least ICP reduction was shown at 24 months after completing a 12-month multicomponent lifestyle intervention (-3.5 cm H2O) (Level 1++). Reduction in body weight was shown to be highly correlated with reduction in ICP (Level 2++ to 1++). DISCUSSION Bariatric surgery should be considered for women with IIH and a body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2 since this had the most robust evidence for sustained weight management (grade A). A multicomponent lifestyle intervention (diet + physical activity + behavior) had the most robust evidence for modest weight loss with a BMI <35 kg/m2 (grade B). Longer-term outcomes for weight management interventions in people with IIH are required to determine whether there is a superior weight loss intervention for IIH.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence and appreciation of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in medicine. The pathological processes underlying raised intracranial pressure are being studied, with new insights found in both hormonal dysregulation and the metabolic neuroendocrine axis. These will potentially lead to novel therapeutic targets for IIH. The first consensus guidelines have been published on the investigation and management of adult IIH, and the International Headache Society criteria for headache attributable to IIH have been modified to reflect our evolving understanding of IIH. Randomized clinical trials have been published, and a number of studies in this disease area are ongoing.
