Case Responses
Bilateral Blindness after Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (Case #338)
- Medical Probability: 6 / 10
- Medical Error Summary: Blindness from IIH can usually be prevented. Ending up blind in both eyes is a terrible outcome. There are treatments for IIH, and they usually can prevent blindness.
- Causation Probability: 6 / 10
- Causation Summary: This question assumes that there was a medical error. To answer the question, I would need to know what medical error is assumed and to review the records.
- Expert Summary: I have cared for IIH patients, and I have been an expert witness in IIH cases, including one case very similar to this one.
- Similar Summary: IIH is not a common illness. I have seen at least a dozen IIH patients.
