A practical approach to intracranial hypertension

TL;DR: Functional imaging continues to play a role in elucidating and targeting the neural substrates in each of the primary headache syndromes.

TL;DR: The distinction between papilledema (disc swelling secondary to increased intracranial pressure), disc swelling associated with optic neuropathy, and disc elevation due to pseudopapilledema are reviewed, with the greatest emphasis placed on diagnosis and management of a relatively common nontumor cause of Papilledema, pseudotumor cerebri syndrome.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that those patients with unsuccessful prior treatments have diminished expected improvement from subsequent treatments, and the model is tested with data on patients diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and the results support the reference frame hypothesis.

TL;DR: The prepubertal group was found to be a distinct group since pseudotumor cerebri/idiopathic intracranial hypertension did not occur predominantly in females and was not associated with obesity.

TL;DR: This paper describes a 6‐y‐old girl with a classical picture of pseudotumour cerebri which developed 1 week following varicella, the first description suggesting this association between this condition and infections.

TL;DR: Cyprusporine must be added to the list of medications with a known association with pseudotumor cerebri secondary to cyclosporine after an 11-year-old boy had a one-month history of horizontal diplopia.
