Anamnesis

bullet

The patient a young Sudanese citizen came to the clinic 21-April-2010 complaining of headache for 9 months, chest and neck pain followed by severe impairment of vision both eyes.

bullet

MRI brain with MRA and MRV performed 12-July-2009, one week after visual loss was almost normal. Repeat LP done showed increased ICP with improvement of vision after such procedures. The patient was given acetazolamide, but she neglected its use.

bullet

On examination: the patient has left oculomotor nerve paresis with severe impairment of vision both eyes.

bullet

The patient was sent another time for MRI of the brain with contrast and MRA and MRV with complete neuroophthalmological evaluation.

bullet

The MRI done 24-April-2010 showed normal venous structures and and fundoscopy showed secondary optic atrophy with slight elements of papilledema.

bullet

In kidney position  lumbo-peritoneal shunt was inserted  from the right side. During that image-intensifier was used at all necessary stages of operation and the CSF flow was checked even before introduction of the distal end of the catheter to the intraperitoneal cavity.

bullet

Routine closure of the wounds.

bullet

Smooth postoperative recovery, with considerable improvement of vision.


Comments

bullet

The patient  has pseudotumor cerebri of unknown etiology. The speculation that thrombosis of the midthird of the SSS was not true, because it was a misreading from the the radiologic reporter. If there was thrombosis at that time, venous congestion must have place and edema with infarction of the brain must have a place. Repeat MRV of the brain was free.

bullet

The patient is young obese woman, which is the usual case with pseudotumor cerebri.
