Subject Neuroimaging, Pediatric neuro-ophthalmology
Description MRI findings, including optic nerve sheath distention (ONSD), pituitary gland flattening (PGF), flattening of the posterior sclera (FPS) and transverse sinus stenosis (TSS), can be used to diagnose pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS), when papilledema is absent. At least three imaging findings have a robust specificity for definite PTCS, of which TSS is the most specific. It is not known whether these findings persist on follow-up imaging in the pediatric population.
