| Description |
Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTC) is a disorder of increased intracranial pressure, which most commonly affects overweight women of childbearing age. Malignant PTC (MPTC) is a rare presentation of PTC that involves rapidly worsening vision and often necessitates surgical intervention to prevent permanent vision loss. The goal of this study was to determine whether radiographic findings of PTC are predictive of malignant PTC and final visual outcome. |
