===Pathogenesis===
 
* The exact [[pathogenesis]] of pseudotumor cerebri is not completely understood. [[Idiopathic intracranial hypertension]] or pseudotumor cerebri is defined by the [[Symptom|symptoms]] of increased [[intracranial pressure]] which is the common final pathway of all [[Idiopathic intracranial hypertension|IIH]] etiologies, without any evidence of [[Intracranial mass]] lesions.<ref name="pmid12455560">{{cite journal |vauthors=Friedman DI, Jacobson DM |title=Diagnostic criteria for idiopathic intracranial hypertension |journal=Neurology |volume=59 |issue=10 |pages=1492–5 |date=November 2002 |pmid=12455560 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
Any theory regarding the [[pathophysiology]] of this disease should explain the following statements:
#  High [[incidence]] rate in women with childbearing age
# Reduced conductance to [[CSF]] outflow<ref name="pmid5468773">{{cite journal |vauthors=Bercaw BL, Greer M |title=Transport of intrathecal 131-I risa in benign intracranial hypertension |journal=Neurology |volume=20 |issue=8 |pages=787–90 |date=August 1970 |pmid=5468773 |doi= |url=}}</ref>

* The basic [[etiology]] behind every [[Idiopathic intracranial hypertension|IIH]] [[pathogenesis]] theory is Increased production of [[CSF]] and reduced resorption.


Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
* [[CSF]] Changes in Pseudotumor Cerebri: The production of [[CSF]] is constant so the main problem in [[Idiopathic intracranial hypertension|IIH]] [[pathogenesis]] is related to [[CSF]] absorbtaion.

Overview

Pathophysiology

Physiology

Pathogenesis

Any theory regarding the pathophysiology of this disease should explain the following statements:

  1. High incidence rate in women with childbearing age
  2. Reduced conductance to CSF outflow[7]
  3. Normal ventricle size and lack of hydrocephalus[8]
  4. No evidence of cerebral edema[9]
  • CSF Changes in Pseudotumor Cerebri: The production of CSF is constant so the main problem in IIH pathogenesis is related to CSF absorbtaion. Many studies suggested that increased resistant to CSF absorbtion in the main cause of IIH disease.[10][11][12][13]
  • The venous sinuses: It has been suggested that primary or secondary venous outflow narrowing or can cause IIH.[14][15] One of the causes of venous sinuses narrowing is thrombotic event. In one of the IIH studies the amount of MTHFR was higher in IIH patients (38%) in comparison to control group (14%). This result suggests that thrombophilia-hypofibrinolysis can cause IIH. One other study demonstrated that fibrinogen level and RBC aggregation is higher in these patients.[16][17]
