Lyme disease is caused by a tick-transmitted spirochete, B. burgdorferi. It can present with both central and peripheral nervous system manifestations, including aseptic meningitis, meningoencephalitis, Bell's palsy and other cranial neuropathies, radiculoneuritis, and myelitis. However, pseudotumor cerebri associated with Lyme disease is rare. Here, we report a eight-year-old girl with the unu...

Pseudotumor cerebri or idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a rare condition in children most commonly presenting with headache and vomiting, without any cause identified. Here we report case of 5year old boy chronic incidental finding pseudotumor complications on acetazolamide follow up. but morbidity visual loss cranial nerve palsy. Hence early diagnosis management necessary.

In a patient with features indicating the presence of pseudotumor cerebri, a negative cranial CT-scan is not adequate to rule out less benign pathology and an MRI of brain should be performed. In this study, a 10-year old boy with daily headaches for one month and diplopia for one week was found to have a partial abducens palsy and bilateral papilledema; otherwise, his examination was normal. A...

Pseudotumor cerebri or idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a neurological syndrome characterized by signs and symptoms of intracranial hypertension without clinical or radiological evidence of infective or space occupying lesions. Iatrogenic factors are frequent; in particular, cases of pseudotumor cerebri associated with all-trans-retinoic acid treatment in acute promyelocytic leukemia (AP...

Papilledema is considered a neuro-ophthalmic emergency because of its capacity to induce irreversible end-organ damage and the often grave nature of its precipitating factor. Even more concern is warranted when papilledema presents in a pediatric setting. After excluded the contributions of intracranial masses, congenital malformations, ischemic insults and acute infections, the investigation m...

Pseudotumor cerebri is a syndrome that results from increased intracranial pressure. The main symptoms are headache, vision disturbances, and pulsatile tinnitus. Definitive diagnosis requires the presence of clinical and/or radiological signs hypertension, high opening pressure on lumbar puncture (LP), normal CSF constitution. Several studies have evaluated new contributions in evaluation under...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Pseudotumor cerebri secondary to all-trans retinoic acid in acute promyelocytic leukemia is a reported but rare complication of the therapy. Most cases improve following the discontinuation of all-trans retinoic acid. There is no published literature on how to manage such patients if severe symptoms of increased intracranial pressure continue after discontinuation of ...

Pseudotumor cerebri, also termed idiopathic intracranial hypertension, is defined by increased intracranial pressure in the setting of normal brain imaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. It can often be associated with optic nerve head edema. Several medications have been associated with pseudotumor cerebri,(1) including the use of lithium carbonate in the adult population(3) as well as in a...
