title: [Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: indication for cerebrospinal fluid shunting].
abstract: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is clearly defined by the Friedmann and Jacobson criteria, followed by the McGirt et al. criteria. Several therapeutic options are still being debated. Cerebrospinal fluid shunting is the most common treatment, because it is simple, non invasive, and has a low rate of complications.
