Historical Perspective
Nonne in 1904 named this disease “pseudotumor cerebri”(1) and Foley named it “benign intracranial hypertension” in 1955.(2) They both described it as increased intracranial pressure with no brain tumor. Buchheit et al suggested that the terms “benign” and “pseudtumor” are not appropriate and introduced the name “Idiopathic intracranial hypertesion”.(3) The first patient with idiopathic intracranial hypertension was introduced by Quincke in 1893. He described 10 cases with headache, papilledema and increased CSF pressure with normal cell count, glucose and protein.(12) For the first time, Walter Dandy described diagnostic criteria for idiopathic intracranial hypertension in 1937 and then modified by in 1985 and Friedman and Jacobson i 2002.(19_20_21)
