Final Diagnosis of Pediatric Patients Referred for Pseudotumor Syndrome

Pediatric pseudotumor syndrome (PTS) is a rare condition and can be associated with visually devastating outcomes. While prompt diagnosis is instrumental in management of this condition, misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary tests, invasive procedures and delayed treatment and management of other conditions. In this study, we sought to analyze data from patients who were referred with a diagnosis of pediatric PTC and review their final diagnosis and identify key presenting symptoms, afferent and efferent exam findings, and neuro-imaging results associated with their diagnosis.
