| Description |
Previous studies suggest that pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) in obese women is secondary to obesity induced increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) leading to increased intra-thoracic, cardiac filling and jugular venous pressures. CSF-peritoneal shunts have a high failure rate, probably due to shunting from one high-pressure zone to another high-pressure zone. In an earlier study gastric bypass (GBP) surgery in 8 patients was shown to decrease CSF pressure from 353 - 35 to 168 - 12 mm H2O (p < 0.001) at 34 - 8 months after surgery with resolution of headaches. |
