Question: I am currently seeing a neurologist and I am being tested for idiopathic intracranial hypertension. I am currently waiting for the referral for my lumbar picture. But lately I am awaken with my eyes movings left to right vigorously to the point it wakes me up. Is this related or a new problem? Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Seems related to idiopathic intracranial tension
Detailed Answer:
Hi
This condition is called Nystagmus. Nystagmus is a condition of involuntary eye movement. The causes for pathological nystagmus may be congenital, idiopathic, or secondary to a pre-existing neurological disorder. It also may be induced temporarily by disorientation or by certain drugs.
In your case the reason could be pre-existing neurological disorder. It is related to idiopathic intracranial hypertension. It shows that your condition is aggravating and you need early intervention. In idiopathic intracranial hypertension first step to control symptom is drainage of cerebrospinal fluid by lumbar puncture, so consult your neurologist for early appointment for lumbarr puncture.
