Magnetic Resonance Imaging findings of idipathic intracranial hypertension in a lymphoma patient

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.

Lenfoma tanýlý hastada idiyopatik intrakranial hipertansiyonun Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme Bulgularý

Ýntrakranial hipertansiyonla komplike olan lenfoma tanýlý 41 yaþýndaki kadýn hastanýn MR bulgularýný sunuyoruz. Bizim olgumuzda baþ aðrýsý ve görme bulanýklýðý olmasý üzerine yapýlan göz muayenesinde papil ödemle birlikte normal görme keskinliði saptanmýþtýr. Kranial ve orbita MRG sinde empty sella, optik sinirde tortiozite, skleral düzleþme, optik disk düzeylerinde protrüzyon, optik sinir etrafýnda artmýþ BOS izlenmiþtir. MR venografisinde sað sigmoid sinüste fokal bir alanda sinyal kaybý izlenmiþ olup tromboza ait olabileceði düþünülmüþtür. Olgumuzun MR bulgularý eþliðinde intrakranial hipertansiyonun MR bulgularýný sunmayý amaçladýk.
