Title Cerebrospinal Fluid Opening Pressure in Children with Optic Nerve Head Edema: A Case-Control Study
Creator Robert A. Avery; Daniel Licht; Samir Shah; Jimmy Huh; Jan Boswinkel; Jeffrey Seiden; Michael Ruppe; Rakesh Mistry; Grant Liu
Affiliation (RAA) Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA
Subject Pseudotumor Cerebri (IIH); CSF opening pressure; Lumbar puncture; Pediatrics; papilledema
Description We previously reported that an abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure (OP) in children was greater than 28 cm H2O. Since elevated intracranial pressure can cause optic nerve head edema (ONHE), we would expect that most patients with ONHE not due to infectious, inflammatory or ischemic conditions would have an OP greater than 28 cm H2O.
