Extensive radiculopathy: a manifestation of intracranial hypertension.
We report two patients with severe radiculopathy due to elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) resulting from idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IHH) in one, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT) in the other. Our aim is to document this unique association, which escaped diagnosis in both patients.
