Weight loss surgery benefits those with headaches

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is a condition where the pressure builds up in the skull due to pressure gradient and blood flow restrictions due to weight gain. This manifests as a condition called Pseudotumor Cerebri, which improves with weight loss surgery, as reported previously.
