Probable pseudotumor cerebri complex in 25 children. Further support of a concept

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure (OP) of ≥28 cm H2O is now considered a diagnostic criterion for Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) in children. However, it has been proposed that a diagnosis of “probable” PTCS can be made with an OP 30 cm H2O in seven children. MRI findings supportive of...

Zusammenfassung:	Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure (OP) of ≥28 cm H2O is now considered a diagnostic criterion for Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) in children. However, it has been proposed that a diagnosis of “probable” PTCS can be made with an OP 30 cm H2O in seven children. MRI findings supportive of PTCS were seen in eight patients. The diagnosis of probable PTCS as a subgroup of PTCS can be convincingly made in children with an OP
