Idiopatic intracranial hypertension - pseudotumor cerebri from an opthalmologist’s point of view
- Oční klinika 1. LF UK a VFN Praha
Authors review the topic of idiopatic intracranial hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri from an ophthalmologist‘s point of view. Thus
the article can not serve as a complete rewiew of the disease. The suspicion is often made by an ophthalmologist according to typical
signs, especially papilledema. Neurological examination finds no patology, normal findings of imaging techniques are also typical.
Etiology and pathogenesis still remains unclear. Therapy, if started early enough, can in most cases effectively prevent a visual loss.
Authors add brief case reports.
