Creator Banik, Rudrani; Lin, Doris; Miller, Neil R
Subject pseudotumor cerebri; Chiari I malformation; neuroimaging
Description PTC and Chiari I malformation are two conditions that may present in a similar fashion with headaches, papilledema, and normal-sized ventricles. They both tend to occur in females between the 2nd and 3rd decades of life. However, whereas PTC is commonly linked to obesity, the Chiari I malformation is not. PTC has been reported to co-exist with Chiari I malformation, but the prevalence of the Chiari I malformation in particular subsets of these patients is yet unknown, in part because mild Chiari I malformations often are not detected on neuroimaging studies by radiologists. This study aims to identify the true prevalence of the Chiari I malformation in various types of PTC patients, i.e., obese vs. nonobese, idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) vs. PTC syndrome (secondary to venous sinus thrombosis or medication-induced).
