There would be no complication if it is treated.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details. I am assuming your MRI was normal and you have been diagnosed to have benign (or idiopathic) intracranial hypertension. This condition responds well to medical treatment such as diamox and omnacortil. There would be no complication in people who take medicines. In those who do not take medicines, there is a risk of losing vision.
I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
