Pseudotumor Syndrome Associated with Cerebral Venous Sinus Occlusion and Antiphospholipid Antibodies
Stroke 24:469-472, Mokri,B.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A 49-year-old man who noted visual blurring and persistent vertical wavy lines in his fields of vision was found to have papilledema.Cerebrospinal fluid values were normal except for an opening pressure of 510 mm of fluid.His visual symtoms improved with lumbar puncture and the use of acetazolamide.Imaging studies showed that the transverse sinus was occluded completely in the left and partially on the right and that there was a small left cerebellar cortical venous infarction.Antiphospholipid syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pseudo- tumor syndrome related to cerebral venous thrombosis.
