Association of Intracranial Hypertension With Calvarial and Skull Base Thinning
Objective:
Determine if patients with increased opening pressure (OP) on lumbar puncture (LP) have thinner calvaria and skull bases.
Study Design:
Retrospective cohort study.
Setting:
Tertiary referral center.
Patients:
Patients (≥18 yr of age) who had a recorded OP on LP and high-resolution computed tomography imaging of the head. Patient age, sex, body mass index were calculated. Intracranial hypertension (IH) was defined with an OP≥25 cm-H2O and low intracranial pressure with an OP
