MONDAY, March 10 (HealthDay News) -- Black Americans are more likely than other racial groups to lose their vision due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension, or increased pressure in the brain, according to a new study.
Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta reviewed the medical records of all 450 intracranial hypertension patients treated at Emory over a 17-year period. Of those patients, there were 246 whites, 197 blacks, five Hispanics, and two Asians.
