Pseudotumor cerebri (SOO-doe-too-mur SER-uh-bry) occurs when the pressure inside your skull (intracranial pressure) increases for no obvious reason. It's also called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor.
Pseudotumor cerebri is a brain condition that causes the same symptoms as a brain tumor: headaches, vision problems, nausea, and dizziness. But it's not a tumor. "Pseudotumor" means "false tumor." It's caused by increased pressure around the brain. It can be hard to tell a pseudotumor from a real tumor.
Pseudotumor cerebri is a third and distinct form of adult hydrocephalus that involves high brain pressures without dilatation of the brain spaces. It is frequently seen in younger women with primary symptoms being headaches and visual difficulties.
2: Benign intracranial hypertension.
Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC), also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension, is a problem caused by elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure in the brain.
Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome is usually diagnosed by eye examinations, brain scans, and lumbar puncture (spinal tap). In an individual with pseudotumor cerebri syndrome, an eye examination will almost always show swelling of the optic nerves (papilledema) resulting from high pressure in the brain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chronic hydrocephalus is associated with dilated ventricles despite a normal intracranial pressure. In idiopathic intracranial hypertension, the ventricles are normal despite an elevated intracranial pressure.
Hydrocephalus ex-vacuo occurs when a stroke or injury damages the brain and brain matter actually shrinks. The brain may shrink in older patients or those with Alzheimer's disease, and CSF volume increases to fill the extra space. In these instances, the ventricles are enlarged, but the pressure usually is normal.
Post-traumatic headache can develop 48-72 h post-injury, perhaps reflecting the developing cerebral edema. Pseudotumor cerebri can result from various causes, including cerebral edema, and is characterized by increased intracranial pressure, headache, visual, and other common symptoms.
ICD-10 code G93. 2 for Benign intracranial hypertension is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Code R51 is the diagnosis code used for Headache. It is the most common form of pain.
What is increased intracranial pressure (ICP)? A brain injury or another medical condition can cause growing pressure inside your skull. This dangerous condition is called increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and can lead to a headache. The pressure also further injure your brain or spinal cord.
Pseudotumor cerebri can cause serious and permanent complications if left untreated. It can cause progressive and permanent loss of vision. Thus, people with pseudotumor cerebri must go for regular eye exams and checkups so that eye problems are diagnosed and treated before they progress.
Pseudotumor cerebri literally means "false brain tumor." It is likely due to high pressure within the skull caused by the buildup or poor absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The disorder is most common in women between the ages of 20 and 50.
If pseudotumor cerebri causes your eyesight to be 20/200 or worse, you will medically qualify for disability benefits. If you don't meet the specific criteria for a condition in the Blue Book, you can still win your disability claim by using the medical-vocational allowance.
Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome comprises intracranial hypertension with usual accompaniment of papilledema without ventriculomegaly, brain tumor, or brain dysfunction. 1,2,3 Primary Sjögren's syndrome is a common autoimmune connective tissue disease that may present with neurologic symptoms as its first manifestations.

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as G93.2. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
