The major symptom is increased pressure within the skull (increased intracranial pressure). There is no evidence of tumor, infection, blocked drainage of the fluid surrounding the brain, or any other cause. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The cause for the condition is unknown. The following factors increase the risk: Obesity Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), tetracycline, nitrofurantoin, isotretinoin, tamoxifen, naladixic acid, lithium, and the starting or stopping of steroids Vitamin A (too much or too little) Cushing’s disease Hypoparathyroidism Hypothyroidism Chronic renal failure Anemia The condition occurs more frequently in women than men, particularly in pre-menopausal obese women. It is rare in infants.

Skin Damage For a free case evalutaion, please call 1-800-381-7992 or contact us here Central Nervous System: Pseudotumor Cerebri Benign Intracranial Hypertension, Intracranial Hypertension Accutane has been associated with pseudotumor cerebri! Under Federal Law, the manufacturer of a drug is required to revise its label to include a warning as soon as there is reasonable evidence of an association of a serious hazard with a drug. The FDA has required Hoffmann-La Roche to change their label for Accutane many times. The most recent label states - Pseudotumor Cerebri: Accutane use has been associated with a number of cases of pseudotumor cerebri (benign intracranial hypertension), some of which involved concomitant use of tetracyclines. Concomitant treatment with tetracyclines should therefore be avoided. Early signs and symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri include papilledema, headache, nausea and vomiting, and visual disturbances. Patients with these symptoms should be screened for papilledema and, if present, they should be told to discontinue Accutane immediately and be referred to a neurologist for further diagnosis and care. Pursuant to FDA Rules and Regulation, the reporting of Adverse Side Effects is on a voluntary basis. In other words, the doctor, hospital, or other medical person or facility are not required by law to report an adverse side effect from a drug. The FDA reported that perhaps only one in one hundred side effects ever get reported. One could only imagine about how many serious Adverse Side Effects there are from taking Accutane, that have never been reported to anyone!

News Thrombophilia and hypofibrinolysis: Pathoetiologies of Pseudotumor Cerebri A free, new (9/12/00) clinical research study at the Jewish Hospital Cholesterol Center, 3200 Burnet Avenue, Cincinnati, OH, 45229. Phone 513-585-7800, Fax 513-585-7950, email glueckch@healthall.com Contact us by email or by phone if you are interested in participating. Purpose: Our specific aim is to assess major thrombophilic and hypofibrinolytic pathoetiologies of pseudotumor cerebri ('benign' intracranial hypertension). Our second specific aim is to determine whether treatment of the intracranial hypertension with Diamox will produce symptomatic relief. We postulate that when exogenous thrombophilic factors (estrogen-containing oral contraceptives, estrogens, corticosteroids) are superimposed on heritable thrombophilic and/or hypofibrinolytic coagulation disorders, multiple ischemic cerebral strokes occur. We postulate that as these strokes resolve, they leave a residual effect of increased intracranial pressure, either by virtue of reduced cerebral clearance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or increased production of CSF, or both. We expect that most patients seen by ophthalmologists with pseudotumor cerebri can be shown to have a coagulation disorder as the pathoetiology, particularly when exogenous estrogens are superimposed on a coagulation disorder.

68. Pseudotumor Cerebri pseudotumor cerebri is een ziektebeeld met verhoogde hersendruk zonder dat ersprake is van een tumor. Hier worden symptomen en behandelingen besproken. http://www.nvvn.org/voorlichting/PTC_pseudotumor.html

Pseudotumor Cerebri Pseudotumor cerebri is de verouderde benaming voor een ziektebeeld dat tegenwoordig Idiopathische Intracraniële Hypertensie wordt genoemd. Ook komt men wel de term "Benigne Intracraniële Hypertensie" tegen. De naam pseudotumor cerebri is te danken aan het feit dat men in het verleden eerst heeft gedacht dat de patiënt een hersentumor (gezwel in de hersenen) had, omdat deze zoals bij een hersentumor de verschijnselen vertoonde van verhoogde druk in het hoofd (of intracraniële hypertensie, zoals de vakterm luidt). Bij nader onderzoek bleek er toch geen hersentumor te zijn, vandaar de toevoeging "pseudo-" (wat betekent schijnbaar) bij tumor cerebri, en de toevoeging "benigne" (wat betekent goedaardig) bij intracraniële hypertensie. Omdat het beloop wat betreft de afwijkingen aan de oogzenuw toch niet altijd zo goedaardig is, is de term idiopathisch geïntroduceerd. Idiopathisch betekent niet anders dan dat de oorzaak onbekend is. Symptomen Zoals gezegd, uit de aandoening zich door verschijnselen van verhoogde druk in het hoofd. Dat zijn: hoofdpijn, misselijkheid en braken, soms dubbelzien, maar wat vooral van belang is: wazig zien door zogenaamde stuwingspapillen. Stuwingspapillen duiden op het gestuwd zijn van de intredeplaats van de oogzenuw in het oog. Normaal ziet deze intredeplaats er bij het oogspiegelen uit als een hol schoteltje met scherpe randen (zie Figuur 1).

Minocycline, a synthetic derivative of tetracycline, is the most widely prescribed oral systemic antibiotic for acne vulgaris because it does not appear to induce resistance in Propionobacterium acnes and can be administered only once or twice a day. Interestingly, minocycline is lipophilic and penetrates the blood-brain barrier more readily than other tetracyclines, thus attaining higher cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels. Despite its widespread use among adolescents, it does not appear that adequate prospective studies have been published to investigate its specific effects on the maturing teenager.

Guestbook Posted: 13 Feb 2005 Abstract: Objectives: Clinical insights concerning a remediable cause of pseudotumor cerebri (benign intracranial hypertension) due to aspartame disease. Materials and Methods: Observations of six women with pseudotumor cerebri who consumed considerable aspartame products, especially "diet" sodas. Results: The ocular and other manifestations of aspartame disease disappeared or dramatically improved in all subjects after avoiding aspartame products, even obviating surgery. Conclusions. Aspartame disease should be considered in patients presenting with pseudotumor cerebri, especially weight-conscious young women. The associated clinical features and underlying mechanisms are reviewed with emphasis on chronic methanol toxicity. Aspartame disease caused by the use of products containing this chemical sweetener is a frequent but usually overlooked disorder. In the author's data base of persons so afflicted, six women developed pseudotumor cerebri (benign intracranial hypertension). This appears to be the first report of such an association. The clinical and public health implications are significant. An estimated 70% of the United States adult population currently consumes aspartame products. The more common neurologic problems caused or aggravated by aspartame are noted in this discussion.

Pseudotumor Cerebri ADULT HYDROCEPHALUS PROGRAM ADULT HYDROCEPHALUS DIAGNOSES INDEX What is pseudotumor cerebri? Patients with pseudotumor cerebri have elevated intracranial pressure unrelated to tumor, hydrocephalus, or frank brain swelling. Unfortunately, the term has been used to describe patients with a potpourri of clinical conditions. Accordingly, pseudotumor cerebri likely represents multiple and different disease entities. What types of people get pseudotumor cerebri? Much more common in females Obesity is reported in 11-90% of cases Incidence in obese women of childbearing age is 19 per 100,000 Peak incidence is in the 3rd decade What are the diagnostic criteria? Normal CSF composition Symptoms and signs are of elevated intracranial pressure Normal CT or MRI scan with the exception of small ventricles What are the symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri? Symptoms Headache: commonest symptom in 94%, worse in the morning Dizziness: 32% Nausea: 32% Visual changes: 48% Double vision: 29% Signs on physical exam (usually restricted to visual system): Swelling of the optic nerve: 100% 6th cranial nerve deficit: 20%, causes double vision
