Pseudotumor Cerebri (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension)

More Information

2 Types

Secondary

Caused by medications or other preexisting conditions (Paley et al., 2015)

Primary

Idiopathic, occurs without a known cause. Currently thought to be associated with obese/overweight females. (Paley et al., 2015)

Concerns with Disease

Possible retinal hemorrhages (Clara & Ribiero, 2015)

Possible visual field loss due to papilledema (Clara & Ribiero, 2015)

Causes an increased pressure on the optic nerve resulting in permanent damage (Clara & Ribiero, 2015)

Epidemiological Data: Correlational Study by Clara and Ribiero (2015)

Results

Associated with vision loss-->86%

Associated with headaches-->80%

Associated with obesity or being overweight-->increased BMI of 32 kg/cm^2 (class I obesity)

Associated with females-->6:1 ratio (F:M)

Study Parameters

Best Corrected VA

Time from Original Diagnosis

Visual Symptoms

History of Hypertension

Body Mass Index (BMI)

Weight

Sex

50 Subjects (43 F, 7 M)

Differential Diagnosis: Must be a form of Pseudotumor Cerebri

Increased ICP without neurological findings

Major indication of PTC (Clara & Ribiero, 2015)

Possibility of some visual field loss

Patient was unable to obtain a distance VA better than 20/40 suggesting that there must be ocular disease present and possibly some visual field loss (Clara & Ribiero, 2015)

No clear indication of cause-->idiopathic

Correlational studies such as from Clara and Ribiero (2015) suggest that the cause of pseudotumor cerebri is correlated with females, obesity, hypertension, and increased BMI (Clara & Ribiero, 2015)

Not glaucoma

IOP's are within normal range (Clara & Ribiero, 2015)

Patient MRN: 111716

Lumbar Puncture

Increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP)

Findings

Vitreous Opacities

Possible Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD)
