BACKGROUND: Ophthalmological symptoms, particularly @entity1829 and transient visual obscuration as well as pulsatile head and ear noises are hallmarks of @entity5576 also known as @entity6437 cerebri. DIAGNOSTICS AND COURSE: Pronounced asymmetrical and unilateral @entity1829 are common occurrences in @entity1 with @entity5576 . Distension of the optic nerve sheath indicates @entity428 , which need to be confirmed by lumbar puncture. The presence of @entity1829 indicates @entity428 but its absence does not exceed it. Previous and long-standing @entity1829 obviously induces changes of the optic disc which prevent the further development of major disc swelling. The development of @entity227 can mimic a regression of @entity1829 . In cases of marked @entity1829 @entity227 may be caused by nonarteritic, @entity1781 or @entity1103 . @entity227 is present in the vast majority of cases of pronounced chronic @entity1829 and is an indication of long-standing @entity428 . Most @entity1 with @entity6437 cerebri and @entity1829 show only mild @entity227 , such as an enlarged blind spot and/or relatively mild @entity154 , which regress after reduction of the intracranial pressure. Some @entity1 , however, experience a relatively rapid progression of substantial @entity227 and @entity1952 requiring immediate and effective medicinal treatment. CONCLUSION: Ophthalmological symptoms are frequently key criteria for @entity5576 . More attention should be paid to these signs and the diagnostic approach should be multidisciplinary.
