We surveyed all neurologists, ophthalmologists, and neurosurgeons in Iowa, eastern Nebraska, and Louisiana over one year to determine the annual incidence of pseudotumor cerebri in residents of Iowa and Louisiana. The results were similar for both states. In Iowa, the annual incidence in the general population was 0.9 per 100,000 persons. When obesity was considered, this increased the incidence to 13/100,000 persons in Iowa and 14.85/100,000 persons in Louisiana for women 20 to 44 years of age who were 10% or more over ideal weight. Furthermore, the incidence became 19.3/100,000 for women in the same age range when they were 20% or more over ideal weight. The female-to-male ratio was 8:1, and the mean weight was 38% above ideal weight for height. Pseudotumor cerebri is a relatively common neurologic illness and may be an important preventable cause of blindness in obese young women.
我们在一年时间里对爱荷华州、内布拉斯加州东部和路易斯安那州的所有神经科医生、眼科医生和神经外科医生进行了调查，以确定爱荷华州和路易斯安那州居民中假性脑瘤的年发病率。两个州的结果相似。在爱荷华州，普通人群的年发病率为每10万人中有0.9例。若考虑肥胖因素，对于年龄在20至44岁且体重超过理想体重10%或更多的女性，爱荷华州的发病率增至每10万人中有13例，路易斯安那州为每10万人中有14.85例。此外，对于同一年龄段且体重超过理想体重20%或更多的女性，发病率变为每10万人中有19.3例。男女比例为8:1，平均体重比身高对应的理想体重高38%。假性脑瘤是一种相对常见的神经系统疾病，可能是肥胖年轻女性失明的一个重要可预防原因。
