dc.description.abstractObjectives We investigated the peripheral and central smell regions in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) by cranial MRI. Methods In this retrospective study, cranial MRI images of 43 adult patients with IIH (Group 1) and 43 healthy adults without IIH (Group 2) were included. In both groups, peripheral [Olfactory bulb (OB) volume and Olfactory sulcus (OS) depth] and central smell regions (insular gyrus and corpus amygdala area, and thalamus volume) were measured in cranial MRI. Results Bilateral OB volume and insular gyrus area, and right corpus amygdala and thalamus volumes of the IIH group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). In the IIH group, OB volume of the right side was significantly lower, and insular gyrus area of the right side was significantly higher than those of the left side (p < 0.05). In the IIH group, there were positive correlations between OB volumes; OS depths; insular gyrus areas; corpus amygdala areas; and thalamus volumes bilaterally (p < 0.05). In older patients, right OS depth and right corpus amygdala area decreased (p < 0.05). Conclusion In conclusion, IIH may be related to olfactory impairment. Cranial MRI images showed a decrease in peripheral (OB volume) and central (insular gyrus and corpus amygdala area and thalamus volume) smell regions. To prevent olfactory impairment in IIH patients, treatment should be done in IIH patients to decrease intracranial pressure. It is very important to prevent the circulation of CSF with increased pressure between the sheets of the olfactory nerve in IIH patients.
