pseudotumor cerebri การใช้

• IIH is also called pseudotumor cerebri and usually affects overweight women.
• Very rarely, severe headache and vision problems may be signs of dangerous secondary intracranial hypertension, also known as pseudotumor cerebri.
• Those patients in whom no tumour was found were therefore diagnosed with " pseudotumor cerebri " ( a disease mimicking a brain tumor ).
• Sleep apnea, pseudotumor cerebri, and Blount's disease represent major sources of morbidity for which rapid and sustained weight reduction is essential.
• Pickard has also studied which parts of the brain are affected in normal pressure hydrocephalus and novel treatments for pseudotumor cerebri and cerebral venous disorders.
• Chronically high doses of vitamin A, and also pharmaceutical retinoids such as 13-cis retinoic acid, can produce the syndrome of pseudotumor cerebri.
• Indirect damage to the sixth nerve can be caused by any process ( brain tumor, hydrocephalus, pseudotumor cerebri, hemorrhage, edema ) that exerts downward pressure on the brainstem, causing the nerve to stretch along the clivus.
• In a small population of people with larger, symptomatic cysts, the following comorbid conditions have been noted : Pseudotumor cerebri ( elevated intracranial pressure ), empy sella, hormonal disturbances, flattened optic discs, chiari malformation, sjogren's, POTS, dysautonomia, PCOS.
• In patients with headaches, the finding of swollen optic discs, or papilledema, on ophthalmoscopy is a key sign, as this indicates raised intracranial pressure ( ICP ) which could be due to hydrocephalus, benign intracranial hypertension ( aka pseudotumor cerebri ) or brain tumor, amongst other conditions.
• A generalized increase in intracranial pressure  hydrocephalus, pseudotumor cerebri, hemorrhage, edema  will affect the fourth nerve, but the abducens nerve ( VI ) is usually affected first ( producing "'horizontal diplopia "', not "'vertical diplopia "').
• He has co-authored 6 books, including a monograph on'Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome'. editor-in-chief of the " British Journal of Neurosurgery " ( 2000-2006 ) and neurosurgical editor of the " Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry ".
• Neurohydrodynamics investigates the role of intracranial fluid hydrodynamics ( e . g . cerebrospinal fluid, cerebral blood flow, and interstitial fluid ) in the pathophysiology of neurological disorders such as hydrocephalus, Chiari malformation, syringomyelia, pseudotumor cerebri, cerebral vasospasm, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis and cerebral aneurysm.
• Lumbar peritoneal shunts are used in neurological disorders, in cases of chronic increased intracranial pressure to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ) from the Subarachnoid cavity associated with such conditions as hydrocephalus and Benign intracranial hypertension ( BIH ) also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension ( IIH ) and pseudotumor cerebri ( PTC ), idiopathic intracranial hypertension is the preferred name for the condition.
• "' Idiopathic intracranial hypertension "'( IIH ), sometimes called by the older names "'benign intracranial hypertension "'( BIH ) or "'pseudotumor cerebri "'( PTC ), is a neurological disorder that is characterized by increased intracranial pressure ( pressure around the brain ) in the absence of a swelling of the optic disc in the eye, which can progress to vision loss.
