Bariatric surgery should be considered for women with IIH and a body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m² since this had the most robust evidence for sustained weight management (grade A). A multicomponent lifestyle intervention (diet + physical activity + behavior) had the most robust evidence for modest weight loss with a BMI <35 kg/m² (grade B). Longer-term outcomes for weight management interventions in people with IIH are required to determine whether there is a superior weight loss intervention for IIH.
