We have identified a lack of awareness of SIH among non-specialists, several barriers to optimal treatment of SIH and a variation in current management pathways. The results highlight the need for education of healthcare professionals about SIH and the development of clinical practice guidelines to enable delivery of optimal and equitable care for patients with SIH.
