摘要：

We report a unique case of a 53-year-old male with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), predominantly affecting overweight young women. The patient, known to have diabetes mellitus, familial Mediterranean fever, and dyslipidemia, presented with blurred vision and throbbing headaches. Clinical examination, brain MRI/MRV, and a lumbar puncture confirmed the IIH diagnosis. Management with acetazolamide improved the patient's symptoms significantly. This case highlights the potential for IIH occurrence in men and underscores the need for early diagnosis and intervention to prevent potential visual impairment, typically more severe in male patients.
