Popis: OBJECTIVE To assess the frequency of radiographic features of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with sigmoid sinus wall anomalies (SSWA) and compare to those in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and spontaneous CSF (sCSF) leaks. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING Tertiary care center. PATIENTS 110 patients - 62 SSWAs, 19 IIH, 29 sCSF leaks. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Demographics, comorbidities and radiographic features by diagnosis. RESULTS Imaging findings indicative of elevated ICP were similar across all three groups, as were body mass index, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. On univariate analysis, sCSF leak patients were significantly older than SSWA (60 vs. 41 years, p
