Resumen

El pseudotumor cerebri es una patología que no siempre responde a un tratamiento conservador, persistiendo en ocasiones la hipertensión intracraneal que amenaza la vida o la visión del paciente. Hemos tratado siete pacientes resistentes al tratamiento conservador, aquejados de pseudotumor cerebral, mediante derivación ventriculo-peritoneal con resultados satisfactorios y con escasas complicaciones. En todos los pacientes se obtuvo un descenso de la P. I. C. de manera inmediata una vez realizada la derivación, mejorando otros signos clínicos.

Pensamos que puede ser una técnica de elección con menor riesgo que otras derivativas o descompresivas siempre que se compruebe el fracaso del tratamiento conservador.

Palabras clave:
Pseudotumor cerebral
Hipertensión intracraneal benigna
Derivación ventriculo-peritoneal
Summary

Seven patients suffering from pseudotumor cerebri, non responsive to medical treatment, have been shunted by means of a ventriculo-peritoneal catheter and valve. The results have been excellent, and therefore we think that ventricle-peritoneal shunting could-be the treatment of choice in this life or vision-threatening syndrome.

Key words:
Pseudotumor cerebri
Benign intracraneal hipertension
C.S.F. shunt
Ventricle-peritoneal shunt
