21 關於pseudotumor cerebri的描述,下列何者正確?
它是腦部有tumor的一種非典型表現 它包含明顯腦壓上升且CSF檢查不正常
在嬰兒發生會有嘔吐、頸部僵硬及視神經萎縮 它常會逐漸消失,但失明是最嚴重的合併症

Pseudotumor cerebri, also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder of unknown etiology. It affects predominantly obese women of childbearing age.1 The primary problem is chronically elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), and the most important neurologic manifestation is papilledema, which may lead to progressive optic atrophy and blindness.1

but in infant, since the skull suture not fused yet, you cant find typical signs of increase in ICP as in adult!
