Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies for pseudotumor cerebri include:
- Ophthalmologic evaluation:
Visual field testing includes goldmann kinetic perimetry and computer-assisted static perimetry.
The findings of perimetry in IIH patients are partial arcuate defect with enlargement of blind spot, generalized constriction and scotomas.[1][2][3][4]
opening pressure > 250 mmH2o (in normal obese individuals we may have CSF opening pressure as high as 250 mmH2o)
the content of CSF (cells, glucose and protein) is normal in IIH patients.[5]
