Abstract
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) typically manifests with headaches and visual disturbance. Unusual presenting features of IIH are sometimes described. Hemi facial spasm (HFS) in women has an incidence of 0.81 per 100,000 compared to an IIH incidence rate of 3.5-20 per 100,000. We describe the 4th case of HFS induced by IIH and we propose a new nomenclature.
