Pseudotumor Cerebri This article submitted by Sheila on 2/1/97. Author's Email: Shegev@aol.com This is my first time to browse the neurology web. I am desperate. Monday, Feb. 3rd I am undergoing surgery to have a ventriculoperitoneal shunt put into my brain. I have been diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri. I have lost my peripheral vision and have terrible headaches. I also hear my heart beating so loud in my ears that my hearing is also suffering. I have had lumbar punctures in the past but it is no longer doing the trick. I have a lot of anxiety over this upcoming surgery and I have been trying to find someone who has had the VP shunt put in. I am trying to find out as much as I can before Monday. If you read this, and have had this procedure done, or if you know of anyone who has had this done, please e-mail me. I am not sure if I will be able to locate any responses to this note since I have yet to become familiar with this site. I would appreciate any feedback anyone can give me regarding pseudotumor cerebri and the VP shunt. I would also like information on

Lee, M.D. Kresge Eye Institute, Wayne State University, 4717 St Antoine Blvd, Detroit, MI 48201, USA Received: January 2, 1991 / Accepted: June 7, 1991. The authors have no commercial interest in the Rodenstock Optic Nerve Head Analyzer Offprint requests to Dong H. Shin M.D., Ph.D. Abstract We quantified optic disc pallor in patients with pseudotumor cerebri with the Rodenstock Optic Nerve Head Analyzer before and after optic nerve sheath decompression. Mean frequency distribution of pallor peaked between the pallor values of 0.10 and 0.20 in four pseudotumor cerebri patients and between 0.50 and 0.60 in five normal subjects. The red dominant pallor reflectance in pseudotumor cerebri patients decreased significantly and shifted toward the reflectance of normal subjects gradually during the nine weeks after successful optic nerve sheath decompression, coinciding with the ophthalmoscopic resolution of papilledema. The computerized pallor measurement with the Rodenstock Optic Nerve Head Analyzer allows an objective and quantitative assessment of papilledema in pseudotumor cerebri patients. Introduction Patients with pseudotumor cerebri have increased intracranial pressure and papilledema without evidence for an intracranial mass or hydrocephalus. Optic nerve sheath decompression (ONSD) is a surgical procedure used to preserve and restore vision in pseudotumor cerebri patients with papilledema and visual dysfunction [1, 3, 8, 10, 21, 24, 26].

Subscribe now >> Pseudotumor Cerebri Pseudotumor cerebri, also called benign intracranial hypertension, literally means "false brain tumor." It is caused by increased pressure within the brain and is most common in women between the ages of 20 and 50. Symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri, which include headache, nausea, vomiting, and pulsating intracranial noises, closely mimic symptoms of brain tumors, possibly because of the abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid placing pressure on the brain. Treatment for pseudotumor cerebri is generally symptomatic. Pressure may be controlled by removing excess fluid with repeated spinal taps or by shunting. Steroids may be prescribed to reduce swelling of brain tissue. Hyperosmotic drugs may be used to reduce fluid buildup. Once the diagnosis is made and the disorder is treated, pseudotumor cerebri generally has no serious consequences. If visual loss occurs, however, it may be premanent regardless of treatment. In some cases, pseudotumor cerebri recurs. Information provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

PSEUDOTUMOR CEREBRI Preservation, or restoration, of vision is the goal of treatment. V. CEREBRAL EDEMA Conventional management includes 1 to several LP's in the 1st 1-2 weeks of treatment. Watch for potassium wasting with acetazolamide and furosemide (v. below). When vision is seriously compromised and medical treatment ineffective the procedure of choice is optic nerve sheath fenestration........the earlier this intervention the more likely is success. When the need for long term treatment, particularly corticoids, is evident lumboperitoneal shunt should be considered. 1) Radhakrishnan,K, Ahlskog,J.E, Garrity,J.A, Kurland,L.T.

pseudotumor cerebri By James Warson, MD Images (click to view larger image) Pseudotumor cerebri is a condition that causes increased intracranial pressure , or pressure within the brain, for unknown reasons. Symptoms are produced that are sometimes mistaken for a brain tumor What is going on in the body? This condition is not fully understood. It is more common in women who are between the ages of 20 and 50, who are overweight, and who have irregular menstrual periods. An eye exam shows swelling of the optic nerves in the retina, known as papilledema, which indicates increased intracranial pressure . The symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? Early symptoms include: headache nausea and vomiting weight gain irregular menstrual cycles. Sometimes menstruation does not occur at all. Later symptoms include a loss of vision. What are the causes and risks of the condition? There is no clear cause of this disorder. There is a possibility that tetracycline, oral contraceptives , and medications that contain steroids may cause the condition. However, they do not always lead to this disorder.
