1.The Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting in Pseudotumor Cerebri: Report of 2 Cases.
Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society 1979;8(2):513-518
The authors report 2 cases of pseudotumor cerebri in which ventriculoperitoneal shunting procedures have been performed to relieve intracranial hypertensions, and satisfactory results have been obtained.

4.Papilledema due to iron-deficiency anemia
Philippine Journal of Ophthalmology 2010;35(2):76-78
Objective:
We reported the association between iron-deficiency anemia and
papilledema in a case of presumed idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH)
and subsequent resolution of the signs and symptoms on correction of anemia.
Methods:
Case notes, blood tests, clinical photographs, and neuroimaging were
collected and analyzed. Iron-deficiency anemia was treated with oral ferrous
sulphate.
Results:
Blood tests revealed a microcytic anemia consistent with iron-deficiency
anemia. Magnetic resonance imaging did not demonstrate enlarged ventricles.
There was complete resolution of all signs and symptoms after treatment of
the anemia.
Conclusion
We recommend that a simple full blood count should be performed on all
patients diagnosed with IIH.

6.Research Advances in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertention.
Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae 2021;43(2):288-292
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension,also known as pseudotumor cerebri,is a syndrome characterized by raised intracranial pressure of unknown cause.These patients present normal neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis while increased intracranial pressure and associated symptoms and signs.Delay of treatment can cause severe visual impairment.There are some new understandings of this disease,and we will review the pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

A series of 70 lumboperitoneal shunt performed at Yonsei university Severance hospital was reviewed. The clinical indications for this procdures were communicating hydrocephalus, CSF fistulas, benign intracranial hypertension and bulging craniectomy site. There were several complications such as shunt migration, obstruction, infection and nonfunctioning. Wound dehiscence, epidural hematoma and ingumal hernia were also observed after shunting. This procedure is completely extracranial and diminished intracranial complications, thereby significantly reducing morbidity and mortality. Good results were reported due to easy insertion, short operation time and reduced complications. This report documented the efficacy of lumbopertoneal shunt and literatures were reviewed.

9.Giant Arachnoid Granulations in Headache Mimicking Migraine with Aura.
Investigative Magnetic Resonance Imaging 2017;21(3):192-194
Giant arachnoid granulations have been reported to be associated with headaches, which can be acute or chronic in presentation. In some cases, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, previously called pseudotumor cerebri, may occur. The pathophysiology of these enlarged structures seen as filling defects on imaging is not clearly defined, although they are presumed to cause symptoms such as headache via pressure resulting from secondary venous sinus obstruction. We present a unique presentation of secondary headache in a 39-year-old man with no prior history of headaches found to have giant arachnoid granulations, presenting as migraine with aura.

Antiphospholipid syndrome may be associated with various neurologic conditions. Pseudotumor cerebri is a rare complication of the disease and is often attributed to venous thrombosis. We report a 18-year-old woman with pseudotumor cerebri due to primary antiphospholipid syndrome. She has normal findings on MR venography. Antiphospholipid syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri, even in the patients without evidence of venous thrombosis on MR angiography.
