• TITLE: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension in Sickle Cell Disease: A Paediatric Case Report

  AUTHORS: Bharath Gowda, Sanjay Sahi

  KEYWORDS: Sickle Cell Disease; Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension; Headache in Children

  JOURNAL NAME: Neuroscience and Medicine, Vol.4 No.4, December 2, 2013

  ABSTRACT: In this article, we present the case of a 12-year-old girl with sickle cell disease (SCD), who presented with the severe headache. She had bilateral 6th cranial nerve palsy and papilloedema. The common sickle cell-related vascular causes of headache were ruled out by neuro-imaging. She then had a lumbar puncture and was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). This case demonstrates that IIH can affect younger children with SCD and should form a part of differential diagnosis when investigating causes of headache in SCD.
