Abstract | OBJECTIVE: STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Case of IIH (>250 mm water) presenting with unilateral facial palsy and enlargement of the fallopian canal on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. INTERVENTION(S): MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Intracranial pressure measurement, cranial nerve examination, audiometry, and symptom assessment. RESULTS: Audiometry revealed asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss. Enlargement of the fallopian canal with cerebrospinal fluid was evident on imaging studies. Partial resolution of IIH symptoms was achieved. CONCLUSION:
