Abstract

We herein report MR findings in a case of lymphoma complicated with intracranial hypertension in a 41 year old woman. Our patient presented with headache and blurred vision. Ophthalmic examination revealed normal visual acuity (20/20) in both eyes with papilledema. We saw empty sella, optic nerve tortuosity, scleral flattening, optic nerve head protrusion, increased perioptic cerebrospinal fluid on brain and orbit magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic resonance venography of the brain showed lack of flow in the right sigmoid dural sinuses suggestive of venous thrombosis. We aim to present intracranial hypertension MR features with our patient's MRI findings.
