| Popis: | Pseudotumor cerebri also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a relatively uncommon disorder of unknown pathophysiology. Although pseudotumor cerebri occurs in both children and adults, the pseudotumor cerebri literature is heavily dominated by adult studies. The aim of this study is to retrospectively describe the clinical presentation, imaging, treatment, and outcomes of a large pediatric pseudotumor cerebri population over a 23-year period. We also discuss secondary pseudotumor cerebri (44%) as well as the increasingly recognized patient subgroups without headache (13.3%) and without papilledema (7.3%). Female sex, obesity, and initial symptoms were consistent with the literature; however radiographic findings were surprisingly low in this cohort. Headache outcomes at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months following initial lumbar puncture/treatment and visual function outcomes are reported. |
