This study on acute pseudotumor cerebri found persistent papilledema in most patients. Ophthalmological complications like vision loss and visual field constriction were noted during follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Pseudotumor cerebri, also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension, is a neurological condition.
  • Understanding its features and complications is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the risk factors, neurological, neuroradiological, and ophthalmological features of acute pseudotumor cerebri.
  • To evaluate the long-term ophthalmological complications in patients with this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 13 cases of acute pseudotumor cerebri.
  • Mean follow-up period of 53 months.
  • Assessment of neurological, neuroradiological, and ophthalmological parameters.

Main Results:

  • Papilledema was present in 100% of patients during the acute phase and persisted in 62% at follow-up.

  • Ophthalmological complications included unilateral optic atrophy with vision loss (8%), visual field constriction, and transient horizontal diplopia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Acute pseudotumor cerebri can lead to significant and persistent ophthalmological complications.
    • Long-term monitoring is essential for patients diagnosed with this condition to manage visual deficits.
