Growth Hormone Treatment and Papilledema: a Prospective Pilot Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Growth hormone treatment is a cause of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome. In our series, at risk patients had growth hormone deficiency and hypothalamic-pituitary anatomic anomalies or genetic or chromosome diseases. Fundus examination should be systematically screened in all patients in this at-risk group irrespective of the presence or not of symptoms.
