PSEUDOTUMOR CEREBRI – BENIGN CONDITION MAY INCREASE RISK OF BRAIN TUMOR DUE TO INJUDICIOUS USE OF BRAIN RADIO IMAGING

Pseudotumor Cerebri (PTC) is a condition of elevated Intracranial pressure in the absence of Intracranial space occupying lesion that can occur in average group including pediatric population. The review discuss the diagnosis of PTC by history, clinical examination without or minimal use of neuro imaging by Computed Tomography (CT) Scan as the concern of Radiation Exposure. CT Scan may increase the risk of Future Development of Brain Tumor and other malignancy. Aim of Study: Radiation is one known important risk factor for the Brain Tumor and other malignancy. Minimal use of Radiation to Developing Brain will reduce the risk of future development of malignancy.
