	Accutane News - Central Nervous System: Pseudotumor Cerebri
		Pseudotumor cerebri, also called benign intracranial hypertension, literally means "false brain tumor." It is caused by increased pressure within the brain and 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, possibly because of the abnormal buildup of pressure within the brain.
		The cause of the elevation of cerebrospinal fluid pressure in pseudotumor cerebri is not known.

		Pseudotumor cerebri is a condition in which high cerebrospinal fluid pressure inside your head can cause headaches and problems with your vision.
		The term “pseudotumor” (which means “false tumor”) comes from the days before brain scans, when doctors who noted swelling of the optic disc (the visible portion of the optic nerve in the back of the eye) considered the possibility of a brain tumor.
		In Pseudotumor cerebri, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is blocked from flowing back out of the head as it should, leading to high pressure inside the head.

		Symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri, which include headache, nausea, vomiting, and pulsating intracranial noises, closely mimic symptoms of brain tumors, possibly because of the abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid placing pressure on the brain.
		Once the diagnosis is made and the disorder is treated, pseudotumor cerebri generally has no serious consequences.

	Pseudotumor Cerebri
		Pseudotumor cerebri is an idiopathic disorder characterized by papilledema and elevated intracranial pressure without a mass lesion.
		Features common to all patients with pseudotumor cerebri are elevated intracranial pressure measured during a lumbar puncture, normal spinal fluid constituents, and neuroimaging which excludes a mass lesion.
		When men develop pseudotumor cerebri, they tend to be in a similar age distribution as affected women, they are also usually obese, and their signs and symptoms are no different than in women (16).

	Pseudotumor Cerebri Information Page: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
		Pseudotumor cerebri literally means "false brain tumor." It is likely due to high pressure caused by the buildup or poor absorption of cerebrospinal fluid in the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain.
		Symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri, which include headache, nausea, vomiting, and pulsating intracranial noises, closely mimic symptoms of brain tumors.
		If a diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri is confirmed, hyperosmotic drugs may be used to reduce fluid buildup.

	PSEUDOTUMOR CEREBRI/ASPARTAME REPORT
		A registered nurse with an extensive background in neurology and psychiatry was diagnosed as having pseudotumor cerebri in February 1997.
		Discussing pseudotumor cerebri in a previous text, the author noted "the greatest frequency of this disease among women under the age of thirty." Wilson and Gardner similarly emphasized the association of obesity and pseudotumor cerebri.
		The diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri was based on evidence for increased intracranial pressure, and the absence of infection, a mass lesion (brain tumor), obstruction of the ventricular system, and focal neurologic signs.

		Pseudotumor cerebri is a reversible process affecting the brain that appears to be -- but is not -- a tumor.
		Papilledema -- swelling of a small region in the back of the eye -- is an important sign of pseudotumor cerebri.
		About 10-20% of the people diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri experience recurrences, and there is a small percentage who become progressively worse and may eventually become blind.

	Pseudotumor Cerebri
		Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is encountered most frequently in young, overweight women between the ages of 20 and 45.
		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.

		Pseudotumor may occur in children, men, and patients who are not overweight.
		The most important clue to the presence of pseudotumor is the finding of disc swelling upon looking in the back of the eye.
		While the most commonly used term "pseudotumor," has that word in it, by definition patients with pseudotumor cerebri specifically do not have a tumor.

	Thrombophilia and hypofibrinolysis: Pathoetiologies of Pseudotumor Cerebri
		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.
		Most cases of pseudotumor cerebri are seen by ophthalmologists, some by neurologists, and some by family physicians/internists.
		Historically, because pseudotumor cerebri has been considered largely "idiopathic", no concerted effort has been made to assess the interactions of coagulation disorders, exogenous thrombophilic vectors, ischemic stroke, and pseudotumor cerebri.

		The major symptoms of pseudotumor are increased pressure within the skull (increased intracranial pressure - ICP).
		Possible causes of pseudotumor cerebri include a defect in Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) absorption, increased cerebral swelling (edema) or increased cerebral blood volumes.
		Other conditions that have been associated with pseudotumour cerebri include renal failure, sleep apnea, and some lung diseases which lead to the retention of carbon dioxide.

	Idiopathic intracranial hypertension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), sometimes called benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) or pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is a neurological disorder that is characterized by increased intracranial pressure (ICP), in the absence of a tumor or other intracranial pathology.
		The terms "benign" and "pseudotumor" have often been used for this disorder to make clear that the increased ICP is not caused by a tumor or malignancy.
		The principle sign of IIH, papilledema, can occur because of brain tumors (hence the term "pseudotumor cerebri," which literally means "false brain tumor"), or in other conditions involving increased ICP.

	Clinical Trial: The Role of Susceptibility to Thrombosis in the Pseudotumor Cerebri of Nephropathic Cystinosis: A ...
		During the follow-up of cystinosis patients under protocol #78-HG-0093 "Use of Cysteamine in the Treatment of Cystinosis", we found that 6 of our NIH patients developed papilledema and were diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri (PTC), whose occurrence has not been previously reported in cystinosis.
		The goal of this protocol is to identify the role of thrombosis susceptibility in the development of PTC in nephropathic cystinosis patients in view of our recent findings regarding genetic susceptibility to thrombosis in PTC in general.
		The inclusion criteria include only a confirmed diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri (past or present) in a patient with nephropathic cystinosis.

		A condition of increased pressure within the brain cavity, pseudotumor cerebri usually manifests itself as a bulging fontanelle in an otherwise happy and healthy infant, or as a sudden onset of strabismus in a child.
		It is also more properly known now as benign intracranial hypertension.
		Because intracranial hypertension might not have a benign cause, if you should notice these symptoms immediate consultation with your doctor is of course in order.
