Reply--Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea and rhinorrhea in idiopathic intracranial hypertension patients.
BACKGROUND Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage may occur in patients with normal or increased intracranial pressure (ICP). We describe herein spontaneous CSF leakage as a result of chronic increased ICP in 4 patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Although rhinorrhea previously has been described in IIH patients, to our knowledge this is the first report of otorrhea ...
متن کاملCoupling of sagittal sinus pressure and cerebrospinal fluid pressure in idiopathic intracranial hypertension--a preliminary report.
BACKGROUND Narrowing of the cranial dural venous sinuses has been implicated as contributing to elevated intracranial pressure in idiopathic intracranial hypertension [IIH]. Such narrowing may be either a fixed stenosis or secondary to raised ICP. We have investigated whether narrowing of the venous sinuses may reflect direct coupling between cerebrospinal fluid pressure and sagittal sinus pres...
متن کاملOsmolality of Cerebrospinal Fluid from Patients with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH)
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder of increased intracranial fluid pressure (ICP) of unknown etiology. This study aims to investigate osmolality of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with IIH. METHODS We prospectively collected CSF from individuals referred on suspicion of IIH from 2011-2013. Subjects included as patients fulfilled Friedman and Jacobson...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid neurohypophysial peptides in benign intracranial hypertension.
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) were investigated both in patients with benign intracranial hypertension and in age and sex matched controls. Twenty eight lumbar punctures were performed on 15 patients with benign intracranial hypertension as part of their routine investigation and therapy. All patients had raised intracranial pressur...
متن کاملGlucagon Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Reduces Cerebrospinal Fluid Secretion and Intracranial Pressure: A Novel Treatment for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension?
Introduction: Intraocular hemorrhage (IOH) among SAH patients (Terson syndrome) has been suggested as a risk factor for poor clinical outcomes, but this association remains debated. 1,2,3 Our goal was to assess IOH's prevalence and to evaluate its association with ICU length of stay (LOS) and in-hospital morbidity/mortality. Methods: Patients admitted to our neurosurgical ICU from 9/2014-7/2015...
