Extensive Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis With Obstructive Hydrocephalus in a Young Female With Underlying Essential Thrombocythemia: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Persistent symptoms suggestive of idiopathic intracranial hypertension despite standard therapy should prompt urgent neuroimaging to exclude cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. When CVST is confirmed without an obvious provoking factor, evaluation for underlying myeloproliferative neoplasms, including JAK2‐positive essential thrombocythemia, is ...

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Is Characterized by a Distinct Proteomic Profile. [PDF]

Ann Neurol
Objectives The pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is poorly understood and disease‐specific biomarkers are lacking. We aimed to shed light on IIH pathophysiology and identify disease‐specific biomarkers. Methods This prospective cross‐sectional cohort study included patients with new‐onset IIH and age‐, body mass index‐, and ...
