Özet
The diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri is based on the triad of: (1) papilloedema, (2) elevated intracranial pressure with a normal cerebrospinal constituency and (3) normal central nervous system imaging studies. However, the diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri is not always straightforward. We report a 19-year-old morbidly obese girl who developed pseudotumor cerebri associated with sutural diastasis of the cranium based on the direct radiographies. Following a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt operation, we demonstrated the closing and perisuturally sclerosis on all major cranial sutures. A careful examination of direct radiographies might be critical for diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri. Prompt recognition, evaluation, and treatment are needed to prevent permanent visual loss.
