Abstract

Pseudotumor cerebri (PC) is a syndrome defined by increased intracranial pressure without an intracranial spaceoccupying lesion or ventriculomegaly. The involvement of the cranial nerves, rather than the sixth cranial nerve, has been rarely reported in patients with PC. In this case report, a patient with headache and diplopia was presented. The neurological examination of the patient revealed bilateral papilledema with bilateral sixth nerve palsy and unilateral seventh and third cranial nerve involvement . Owing to the increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and normal radiological findings, the patient was diagnosed as PC. It should be considered that there may be PC patients with atypical presentations such as third and seventh cranial nerve involvement, in addition to the expected abducens nerve paralysis.

Özet

Psödotümör serebri (PS), kafa içi yer kaplayıcı lezyon veya ventrikülomegali olmaksızın intrakraniyal basınç artışı ile karakterize bir sendromdur. PS’li hastalarda 6. kraniyal sinir dışında diğer kraniyal sinir tutulumları nadiren bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda, başağrısı ve diplopi ile başvuran ve muayenesinde; bilateral papil ödemin yanı sıra bilateral 6. kraniyal sinir paralizisi, unilateral 7. ve 3. kraniyal sinir tutulumları saptanan bir olgu sunulmuştur. Beyin omurilik sıvısı (BOS) basıncının artmış bulunması ve normal radyolojik bulgular sonucunda hastaya PS tanısı konulmuştur. PS’li hastalarda beklenen abdusens sinir paralizisine ek olarak, 3. ve 7. kraniyal sinir tutulumlarının da eşlik edebildiği atipik prezentasyonların olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
