Results: On the basis of demographics, females (n = 26; 81.25 %) with age range of 20 to 30 (n = 12; 37.5 %) and obesity (n = 3; 9.3 %) showed high prevalence. Among clinical features, head ache (n = 22; 68.75 %) was most prominent. On the other hand, idiopathic intracranial pressure (43. 7 %) showed highest prevalence.
