“…A statistically signi cant positive correlation was observed between monocyte values and CSF pressure values. Previous studies on PTS reported that in general, there was no sex difference in the prepubertal period in childhood, but it was more prevalent in girls after puberty and among adults 1,11,12 . In this study, the mean age of our patients coincided with the pubertal period and consistent with the previous studies in the relevant literature, PTS was slightly more prevalent in female sex.…”

Background Childhood obesity has become a major global health problem. Obesity is associated with major health problems, such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease. Obesity is also considered a risk factor for Pseudotumor cerebri (PTS). The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure in patients with pseudotumor cerebri. Methods A total of 48 children diagnosed with PTS, who were aged < 18 years and followed up in the pediatric clinic were included in the retrospective study. National BMI percentile curves were used for reference. We investigated statistically the relationship between BMI, clinical and laboratory results, and CSF pressure in patients. Results Of total patients 27 were female (56.25%) and 21 were male (43.75%). With regard to the BMI percentile, 20 (41.67%) were overweight or obese. CSF pressure was higher in overweight and obese patients compared to children with BMI in normal ranges (p < 0.05). A statistically significant positive correlation was also observed between BMI and CSF pressure values and between monocyte and CSF values (p < 0.05). Conclusions The results of the present study indicate a direct relationship between CSF pressure and BMI in children with PTS. Appropriate diet, exercise, and medical treatment in overweight and obese children can make a significant contribution to the treatment of PTS. Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between CSF pressure and monocyte levels.
