Abstract
AIM: To determine the differences in outcome in a group of children with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) who do not present with headaches. METHODS: Differences in epidemiological and aetiological factors, clinical presentation, and visual outcome were investigated in children with a diagnosis of IIH presenting with and without headaches to the Paediatric Neurology and Paediatric Ophthalmology Services at Guy's & St Thomas' Hospitals NHS Trust between 1997 and 2002. RESULTS: Compared to the 29 children with headaches, the 12 children in the non-headache group were younger (7.3 v 9.5 years), presented with more neurological signs (33% v 10%), and were more likely to present with severe visual failure (33% v 4%), with a tenfold increased risk of an enlarged blind spot or field defects (50% v 5%). Permanent visual failure affected a third of all children in the non-headache group, but was rare in children presenting with headaches (33% v 3%), with one patient registered blind and two severely visually impaired. CONCLUSION: The management of IIH is difficult in the absence of headache. Visual surveillance is vital. These children were treated with an aggressive management programme to reduce cerebrospinal fluid pressure by repeated lumbar puncture, medication, and early surgical intervention if required. Non-invasive monitoring techniques might contribute to a better understanding of the natural history of IIH, improved management, and visual outcome.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
