Teaching NeuroImages: adrenoleukodystrophy presenting as raised intracranial pressure.
A 7-year-old boy presented with acute onset headache, vomiting, and visual deterioration 2 weeks previously without any cognitive or behavioral changes. Optic fundi showed papilledema, and there were no pyramidal signs or gait disturbances. The remainder of the neurologic examination was normal. CSF protein was 174 mg/dL.

متن کاملThoracolumbar intraspinal tumours presenting features of raised intracranial pressure.
Five patients are described in whom a benign or malignant thoracolumbar tumour, producing increased level of cerebrospinal fluid protein, was associated with hydrocephalus or papilloedema or both.

It can arise as a consequence of intracranial mass lesions, disorders of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, and more diffuse intracranial pathological processes. Its development may be acute or chronic. There are well established methods for the measurement, continuous monitoring, and treatmen...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic abnormalities associated with raised intracranial pressure.
Serial electrocardiographic (E.C.G.) recordings were taken in seven patients suffering from intracranial conditions, for which their intracranial pressure was directly and continuously monitored with a Konigsberg extradural transducer. The E.C.G. changes observed in patients with raised intracranial pressure were prominent U waves, ST-T segment changes, notched T waves, and shortening and prolo...

Although raised intracranial pressure is a significant aetiological factor in the production of divergence paralysis (Bender and Savitsky, I940; Chamlin and Davidoff, I950, 1951), there has been much diversity of opinion a...
