1 | Pineal Gland Mass Causing Severe Papilledema | Nithya Shanmugam; Valerie Biousse | Dilated Ventricles; Grade 5 Disc Edema; Intracranial Hypertension; Obstructive Hydrocephalus; Papilledema; Pineal Gland Mass; Ventriculostomy | The pineal gland is a neuroendocrine gland that resides in the epithalamus, at the root of the third ventricle. Due to its close proximity to the ventricles, masses in the pineal region can lead to obstruction of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and subsequent raised intracranial pressure. Here, we p... | |
2 | Large Frontal Meningioma with Mass Effect and Increased Intracranial Pressure | Rabih Hage, MD; Valérie Biousse, MD | Intracranial Meningioma; Raised Intracranial Pressure; Papilledema | This is a case of frontal meningioma presenting with raised intracranial pressure and bilateral papilledema responsible for visual loss. Figure 1: Goldmann visual field of the left eye. In the right eye, there was no response to the V4e. The visual field is severely constricted in the left eye. Fig... | |
3 | Colloid Cyst Hydrocephalus | Rabih Hage, MD; Valérie Biousse, MD | Colloid Cyst; Raised Intracranial Pressure; Papilledema; Obstructive Hydrocephalus; MRI Signs of Increased Intracranial Pressure | This is a case of colloid cyst of the third ventricle complicated by severe hydrocephalus, raised intracranial pressure and papilledema.
