What Does No Supportive Findings Of Pseudotumor Cerebri Mean?

CONCLUSION: 1. No Chiari malformation. 2. No evidence of basilar inflammatory process. 3. Venous sinuses are patent. 4. Maxillary and ethmoid sinus mucosal thickening and mucus retention cyst. 5. No supportive findings of pseudotumor cerebri. What does all of that mean? I guess more accurately anything to be concerned about?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Pseudotumor cerebri is a condition found usually in obese young adult women related to increase in cerebrospinal fluid pressure inside the brain.

This MRI report doesn't find supporting MRI features to this condition.

There are no brain conditions to be concerned about, only paranasal sinuses inflamation and cyst (bone hollows inside facial bones).

If you have any sinusitis related symptoms ( headache, fever, nasal congestion) consult a ENT Doctor.

You have nothing to worry about.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
