Pseudotumor Cerebri Informational Homepage Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) or Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a disease where there is increased intracranial pressure that mimics a brain tumor. This condition, which affects mainly women of childbearing age, is not widely known and little information is currently available about it. This web site will attempt to increase the availability of information about this disease. This site will be changed and updated as new information becomes available.

Pseudotumor Cerebri Signs and Symptoms Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is encountered most frequently in young, overweight women between the ages of 20 and 45. Headache is the most common presenting complaint, occurring in more than 90 percent of cases. Dizziness, nausea, and vomiting may also be encountered, but typically there are no alterations of consciousness or higher cognitive function. Tinnitus, or a "rushing" sound in the ears, is another frequent complaint. Visual symptoms are present in up to 70 percent of all patients with PTC, and include transient visual obscurations, general blurriness, and intermittent horizontal diplopia. These symptoms tend to worsen in association with Valsalva maneuvers and changes in posture. Reports of ocular pain, particularly with extreme eye movements, have also been noted. Pathophysiology Pseudotumor cerebri is a syndrome disorder defined clinically by four criteria: (1) elevated intracranial pressure as demonstrated by lumbar puncture; (2) normal cerebral anatomy, as demonstrated by neuroradiographic evaluation; (3) normal cerebrospinal fluid composition; and (4) signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, including papilledema. While the mechanism of PTC is not fully understood, most experts agree that the disorder results from poor absorption of cerebrospinal fluid by the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The subsequent increase in extracerebral fluid volume leads to elevated intracranial pressure. However, because the process is slow and insidious, there is ample time for the ventricular system to compensate and this explains why there is no dilation of the cerebral ventricles in PTC. Increased intracranial pressure induces stress on the peripheral aspects of the brain, including the cranial nerves. Stagnation of axoplasmic flow in the optic nerve (CN II) results in papilledema and transient visual obscurations; when the abducens nerve (CN VI) is involved, the result is intermittent nerve palsy and diplopia.

4. Intracranial Hypertension Research Foundation The IHRF is a nonprofit organization formed to sponsor the development of new research to determine why IH (Intracranial Hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri) happens and how new therapies might better manage the disorder while seeking a cure. http://www.ihrfoundation.org

Welcome to the Intracranial Hypertension Research Foundation site. We are here to help Intracranial Hypertension (IH) is the general name for the disorders in which the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) pressure within the skull is too high. (Intracranial means inside of the skull . Hypertension refers to high fluid pressure . Old names for IH include Benign Intracranial Hypertension and Pseudotumor Cerebri). The Intracranial Hypertension Research Foundation (IHRF) funds and supports medical research to develop better therapies to control Intracranial Hypertension (IH) while ultimately seeking a cure for IH. The Foundation also provides support, education, and encouragement for IH patients , their families , and medical professionals We are the only non-profit organization in the world devoted to supporting research to find a cure for IH IHRF is proud to introduce the Intracranial Hypertension Awareness pin.

PSEUDOTUMOR CEREBRI Signs and Symptoms Champagne cork appearance of papilledema in PTC. Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC), also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension, is encountered most frequently in young, overweight women between the ages of 20 and 45. Headache is the most common presenting complaint, occurring in more than 90% of cases seen. Dizziness, nausea and vomiting may also be encountered, but typically there are no alterations of consciousness or higher cognitive function. Tinnitus, or a "rushing" sound in the ears, is another frequent complaint. Visual symptoms are present in up to 70% of all patients with PTC, and include transient visual obscurations, general blurriness, and intermittent horizontal diplopia. These symptoms tend to worsen in association with Valsalva maneuvers and changes in posture. Sixth-nerve palsies, usually unilateral and intermittent, may be seen as well. Pathophysiology Pseudotumor cerebri is a syndrome disorder that involves elevated intracranial pressure in the absence of mass lesion, hydrocephalus, hemorrhage or other identifiable intracranial pathology. The Dandy Criteria (originally penned by Walter E. Dandy in 1937) delineates the diagnostic paradigm for PTC. Individuals such as J. Lawton Smith and Michael Wall have modified these criteria over the years. Most recently, Friedman and Jacobson published their diagnostic criteria, which includes the following:

It is likely due to high pressure caused by the buildup or poor absorption of cerebrospinal fluid in the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain. The disorder 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. Is there any treatment?

Tools VÄLKOMMEN Den här gruppen har skapats för personer med IIH men också till våra vänner, anhöriga och er andra som vill veta mer om den här sjukdomen. Vi ha r inte startat den här gruppen för att diagnostisera IIH - Vi är INTE doktorer, utan syftet är att sprida information och kunskap om det här, relativt, okända, neurologiska tillståndet. På de här sidorna försöker vi, på ett enkelt sätt, förklara det mesta med och runtomkring IIH. Något man ska tänka på är att IIH är en individuell sjukdom. Varje person har olika slags symptom och svarar olika på behandling. En del kan få biverkningar, andra inte. Det finns dom som blir bra av mediciner och behandling och det finns dom som blir "handikappade" för ett tag eller för en lång tid. När man som IIH-patient läser dessa sidor gäller det att komma ihåg hur DU mår och inte jämföra med de andra då de nödvändigtvis inte har samma slags symptom. Uppdaterad Medlemmar Vi hoppas att du här kommer att få svar på de frågor som du har om IIH - om du tycker något saknas så maila oss gärna så att vi kan förbättra den här gruppen.

The web space and domain name are compliments of Sondra Johnson Living with Pseudotumor Cerebri Pseudotumor cerebri is a relatively rare disease. (We estimate there are about 12,000 people living in the United States with this disease.) The majority of PTC patients are women of child-bearing age with a tendency to be overweight. However, there are PTC patients of all ages- male and female, and all weight ranges- from obese to downright skinny.  Pseudotumor cerebri is also an individualized disease. Each person responds differently regarding symptoms, treatment, and side effects. There is no "standard" for how the condition will appear, how long it will last, whether it will come back, or the degree it will impact your life. There are people who have success with medication or treatment, and their PTC goes away. There are others who become disabled with this condition, and treatment or surgery is ineffective.

This is a condition in which high pressure inside your head can cause problems with vision and headache. In the days before CT and MRI scans, doctors who noted swelling of the optic disc (the beginning of the optic nerve in the back of the eye) were concerned about the possibility of a tumor within the head. Patients with optic disc swelling but no evidence of a tumor were said to have "Pseudotumor." Anatomy The brain and spinal cord are bathed in a clear fluid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Neck and back pain are often prominent. Brief episodes of monocular or binocular visual loss that may be partial or complete. Pulsatile tinnitus, may be unilateral or bilateral, described as a heartbeat or whooshing sound. May have VI nerve palsy.
