Title Misdiagnosis of Pseudotumor Cerebri In Patients With Typical Presentation Who Refused Diagnostic Lumbar Puncture (LP)
Creator Luai Eldweik
Subject High Intracranial Pressure/Headache; Pseudotumor Cerebri; Neuroimaging
Description Elevated opening pressure on LP is an essential element of the diagnosis of PTC, and refusal to this procedure is an issue that is not unusual. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of misdiagnosis of PTC in young obese women who refused to have LP, and the other strategies that can be used instead to verify the diagnosis.
