Quantitative D-dimer Level and Anticoagulant Therapy in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Study Description
Brief Summary:

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome characterized by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) of unknown etiology.

The investigators aim to study the quantitative D-dimer level and the role of anticoagulant therapy in the absence of occlusive sinus thrombosis in IIH patients.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Drug: LMWH Drug: acetazolamide Early Phase 1

Detailed Description:

24 patients with IIH according to the modified Dandy criteria were enrolled. Headache impact test (HIT6), ophthalmological assessment including Frisen classification for papilledema, visual acuity, visual field by perimetry, and visual evoked potentials were performed to the patients.

Serum quantitative D-dimer level was measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique for the patients and for 24 healthy matched controls.

Patients were divided into two groups: group (A) received acetazolamide and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in a prophylactic dose for 2 weeks while group (B) received acetazolamide only. Both groups continued the acetazolamide 1-2g/day for 6 months.

The investigators followed-up the patients after one and six months later through the HIT6 test and the ophthalmological assessment.

No Intervention: Control group
24 healthy subjects for whom serum D-dimer was assessed by ELISA.
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. serum quantitative D-dimer [ Time Frame: Baseline assessment ]
    higher serum D-dimer levels will be detected in IIH patients of both groups compared to controls


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. HIT6 score [ Time Frame: 1 and 6 months ]
    The HIT6 score will improve in both groups (A and B) after receiving the treatment (either acetazolamide or LMWH)

  2. Frisen classification for papilledema [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    papilledema will improve in both groups (A and B) after receiving the treatment (either acetazolamide or LMWH)

  3. Visual acuity (Log Mar) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Visual acuity will improve in both groups (A and B) after receiving the treatment (either acetazolamide or LMWH)

  4. Visual field (Perimetry) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Visual field will improve in both groups (A and B) after receiving the treatment (either acetazolamide or LMWH)

  5. Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    VEP will improve in both groups (A and B) after receiving the treatment (either acetazolamide or LMWH)
