Although the main role of neuro-imaging in IIH is to exclude other pathologies that cause increased CSF pressure, MRI findings that can be detected by modern neuroimaging methods such as empty sella, tortuosity of optic nerve, flattened posterior globe/sclera, contrast enhancement of vessels in the optic disc, meningocele formation, diffusion restriction at the optic nerve head, and transverse sinus stenosis were found to be related to diagnosis (13).

High signal on T2-weighted images (T2WI) and low signal on T1-weighted images (T1WI) within the middle ear or mastoid cavity are compatible with the diagnosis of meningocele; in addition, soft tissue that has an isointensity parallel with the temporal lobe parenchyma is highly suspicious with encephalocele [8].
