I
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
• The symptoms and signs of IIH are essentially those of raised intracranial pressure (ICP), and the differential diagnosis includes any condition that may be associated with raised ICP. Here we consider only those disease processes in which elevated ICP occurs in the context of normal CSF analysis and normal MRI. (Of note, venous sinus thrombosis [VST] is on this list despite associated MRI findings. VST should be excluded in all individuals with suspected IIH.)
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Iliac Fossa Pain, Right Sided39
Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
• Falsely low platelet count (resulting from ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid [EDTA]–dependent or cold-dependent agglutinins)
Impotence28
• Endocrine: hyperprolactinemia, diabetes mellitus (DM), Cushing’s syndrome, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, abnormality of hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis
• Neurogenic: autonomic or sensory neuropathy, spinal cord trauma or tumor, cerebrovascular accident (CVA), multiple sclerosis (MS), temporal lobe epilepsy
