Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension as an Initial Presentation of Sjögren’s Syndrome in Medicine

Abstract

It is uncommon and sometimes misdiagnosed for primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) to impact the central nervous system. A highly unusual occurrence is Sjogren's syndrome coupled with concurrent intracranial hypertension. The existence of elevated intracranial pressure in MS patients might be challenging to identify since the symptoms of visual impairment in the two illnesses can be comparable. A severe headache in an MS patient may be an early indicator of the development of intracranial hypertension. Making the right diagnosis requires being able to distinguish between minor variations in how visual acuity, visual field abnormalities, and subjective symptoms are presented. Injurious and irreversible loss of vision may come from failing to recognise and manage rising intracranial pressure.
