Abstract

Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTC) is characterized by increased intracranial pressure without a space-occupying lesion and a normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition without evidence of CSF infection. In this study, we aimed to compare the symptoms, signs, and clinical characteristics of patients presenting with a preliminary diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTC) who were diagnosed and not diagnosed with PTC.
