Amaç: Psödotümör serebri sendromu (PTSS)
tanılı çocukların demografik özellikleri, başvuru semptomları ve görüntüleme
bulgularını tanımlayarak idyopatik intrakranial hipertansiyon (İİH) (primer
PTSS) ile sekonder PTSS arasındaki farkların saptanması amaçlandı.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2011 ile Ocak 2016
tarihleri arasında çocuk nörolojisi polikliniğinden PTSS tanısı ile takip edilmekte
olan 18 yaşından küçük çocukların medikal kayıtları ve beyin görüntüleme
bulguları geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Çocuklar İİH tanılı olanlar ve
sekonder PTSS gelişenler olmak üzere iki grupta incelendi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya 26 çocuk dahil edildi.
Birinci grup 16, 2. grup 10 hastadan oluşuyordu. İkinci gruptaki hastaların
4’ünde sinüs ven trombozu, 1’inde otoimmün tiroidit, 1’inde hipotiroidi, 1’inde
Down sendromu, 1’inde hipofiz adenomu, 1’inde gebelik ilişkili PTSS saptandı.
Bir hastada ise büyüme hormonu tedavisi almakta iken PTSS gelişmişti. Başvuru
anındaki yaş ortalamaları, prepubertal/postpubertal hasta oranı, baş ağrısı,
çift görme, görme bulanıklığı/kaybı ve bulantı/kusma varlığı açısından gruplar
arasında istatiksel açıdan anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p>0,05). Pozitif
radyolojik bulgu oranı iki grup arasında istatiksel olarak farklı değildi
(p>0,05).

Sonuç:
PTSS saptanan çocuklarda başvuru şikayetleri ve beyin görüntüleme bulguları
idyopatik olanlar ile sekonder PTSS gelişenler arasında benzer bulunmuştur.

Objective: We aimed to define the
demographic characteristics, referral symptoms, and neuroimaging findings in
children with pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) by comparing the differences
between idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) (primary PTSS) and secondary
PTCS.

Materials and Methods: We retrospectively
evaluated the medical records and brain imaging findings of children with PTCS
who were <18 years of age and were followed by the outpatient clinics of the
Department of Child Neurology between January 2011 and January 2016. The
children were categorized into two groups: (1) children with IIH and (2)
children with secondary PTCS.

Results: In total, 26 children were
enrolled in the study; group 1 comprised 16 patients, and group 2 comprised 10
patients. In group 2, there were four patients with sinus venous thrombosis,
one with autoimmune thyroiditis, one with hypothyroidism, one with Down
syndrome, one with pituitary adenomas, and one with pregnancy related PTSS. One
patient developed PTSS while receiving growth hormone therapy. At the time of
admission, there was no statistically significant difference between the two
groups in terms of age, prepubertal/postpubertal patient ratio, headache,
double vision, visual disturbance/loss and presence of nausea/vomiting (p >
0.05). Positive radiological findings were not statistically different between
the two groups (p > 0.05).

Conclusion:
In children with PTSS, the symptoms at onset and brain imaging findings were
found to be similar between primary and secondary PTSS.
