Evaluate for signs of pseudotumor cerebri and rule out other possible causes of elevated ICP: papilledema. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct. There are a few scattered areas of cerebral white matter T2 hyperintensity, primarily in an periventricular distribution. The brain, brainstem, and cerebellum otherwise appear unremarkable. There is mild flattening of the pituitary gland, which measures 5 mm in craniocaudal dimension. The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration. There is no midline shift or herniation. The major cerebral flow voids are intact. The orbits, skull, paranasal sinuses, and scalp soft tissues are grossly unremarkable.
No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct. Mild flattening of the pituitary gland, which measures 5 mm in craniocaudal dimension, is nonspecific. LIkewise, a few scattered areas of cerebral white matter T2 hyperintensity, primarily in an periventricular distribution, are nonspecific.
