Beschreibung
The condition known most widely as pseudotumor cerebri syndrome is of diagnostic interest and clinical importance not just to neurosurgeons, but also to neurologists, ophthalmologists and headache specialists. Variously called idiopathic intracranial hypertension, benign intracranial hypertension, and other names over the century or so since it was first recognised, the authors argue for the grouping of all these conditions under the name of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome on the basis of a common underlying mechanism - an impairment of CSF absorption due to abnormalities at the CSF/venous interface. The book reviews the development of ideas around some of the more contentious issues and deals in depth with aetiology, investigative findings and strategies, treatment and outcome, and in the concluding chapter, considers the possibility of establishing an experimental model to facilitate analysis of the unresolved issues, and pointing the way to a more complete understanding of this controversial condition.

Zusammenfassung
The condition known most widely as pseudotumor cerebri syndrome is of diagnostic interest and clinical importance not just to neurosurgeons, but to neurologists, ophthalmologists and headache specialists. Three clinicians with extensive experience of pseudotumor cerebri provide a comprehensive review of the condition including its history, discussion of the more contentious issues, aetiology, investigative findings and strategies, treatment and outcome, and a wide-ranging review of the clinical literature. Concluding with a chapter on experimental studies, this book points the way to a more complete understanding of this controversial condition.
