Radiographic features of primary pseudotumor cerebri syndrome. (A) As illustrated on T2-weighted axial image, there are radiographic features of raised intracranial pressure, namely flattening of the posterior aspect of globes (open arrow) and perioptic dilation of the optic nerve sheaths (solid arrow). (B) As illustrated on T2-weighted sagittal image, an empty sella is observed, a feature of raised intracranial pressure. (C) In this MRV, transverse sinus stenosis is observed, another feature of raised intracranial pressure. In the presence of clinical observed disk swelling, these radiographic features (A-C) are not required to confirm a diagnosis of definite or probable PTCS. They are required to establish a diagnosis of suggested PTCS. MRV, magnetic resonance venogram.
