Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
The incidence of Pseudotumor cerebri is approximately 1 to 2 per 100,000 population annualy.[1]
Prevalence
The prevalence of Pseudotumor cerebri is approximately 5.1 per 100 000 in the general population in a Spanish study[17raood 2011] and 10.9 per 100 000 in american study. This higher prevalence may reflect the UK increased proportion of obese individuals.[2]
Age and gender
Most of the IIH cases happen in women in child bearing age[3], but it can also happens in children and old adult with male gender. In prepubertal age the gender is not an important risk factor and in old patients the percent of affected males was higher than females.[4][5]
Race
Black patients may have more severe outcome than other population.[6]
