Idiopathic intracranial hypertension
I thought I should drop a note to explain my edits to the IIH article. You are obviously an expert, and I would not for one moment want to question your authority on the subject. However, most of the sources you added are "primary sources". We have a longstanding convention on Wikipedia to avoid such sources for a number of reasons. Instead, we stick to "secondary sources" (expert reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, Cochrane reviews). The background to this policy is explained on WP:MEDRS.

I may in the process have changed things in a way that you might object to. Please raise the issue on Talk:Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in the first instance so we can work out a compromise/consensus over there. JFW | T@lk  13:24, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
