Summary
The authors present two clinical cases of young women with pseudotumor cerebri, which manifested with a tension headache and transient visual disturbance. Normal findings on the neurological examination and the unspecified imaging findings were found in both cases. Optic disc edemas were found in both patients and subsequent lumbar puncture revealed intracranial hypertension. The symptoms and findings on the fundus oculi progressed despite of complex conservative therapy and repeated lumbar puncture. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt was inserted to both patients with improving of visual disturbances and stabilization of condition.
Keywords:
