| Abstract |
The pathophysiology underlying pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) is complex and not well under- stood. There are clear differences between PTCS in adults and pediatrics. Few and isolated case reports have suggested that adrenal function may be involved, yet no large cohort study has examined this relationship. |
