| Description |
Revised diagnostic criteria for Pseudotumor Cerebri Syndrome (PTCS) were published in 2013[1]. This manuscript did not suggest a specific diagnosis for patients in whom there was clinical suspicion for PTCS where data did not support the diagnosis. Clinically it is unclear whether patients without papilledema who have headache features suggestive of increased intracranial pressure benefit from lumbar puncture and/or medications used to lower cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) pressure. |
