OBJECTIVES: Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTC) is a chronic disorder, which is initially treated by conservative measures, yet surgery is inevitable in case of progressive worsening of vision or headache despite medical treatment. The surgical management is controversial including CSF diversion procedures and optic decompression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different surgeries in PTC and to present surgical outcomes in a single center.
METHODS: This retrospective study included the patients with PTC who were operated by endoscopic optic nerve decompression (EOND), ventriculoperitoneal (VP) and lumboperitoneal (LP) shunting. Surgical outcomes, i.e. visual acuity, visual field, papilledema and headache were compared according to type of surgery. Surgical complications were noted.
RESULTS: Seventeen of 36 patients were treated with shunting, 14 with EOND and 5 patients with both EOND and shunting. No statistical significance was observed between CSF diversion procedures and EOND concerning clinical outcomes. The improvement rate of papilledema was higher with VPS (p = 0574) while more patients benefitted from LPS regarding visual field and acuity (p = 0471 and p = 0718, respectively). The best treatment response for headache was in shunt implemented patients (VPS and LPS) with a rate of 88.2% followed by EOND (78.6%) and both surgeries (60%)(p = 0.294). Gender and BMI were significant predictors of improved papilledema (p = 0.034).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated comparable results between shunting and EOND, regarding the efficacy on surgical outcomes. EOND is quite effective for headache besides its advantage on treatment-refractory visual loss. Shunting may offer sustained relief of symptoms when compared with EOND.
