Among 38 children with pseudotumor cerebri only 3 cases were due to ear disease or its complications. The commonest cause was a refeeding syndrome either due to nutritional deprivation or as an early finding in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. It is uncommon to find the cause of pseudotumor in older children but in those under 6 years the cause was found in 85%. Because of the adverse effects of steroids we use this treatment in the more resistant cases.
在38例假性脑瘤患儿中，仅3例病因是耳部疾病或其并发症。最常见的病因是再喂养综合征，这要么是由于营养缺乏，要么是在囊性纤维化治疗中作为早期发现。在大龄儿童中找出假性脑瘤的病因并不常见，但在6岁以下儿童中，85%能找到病因。由于类固醇的不良反应，我们仅在耐药性更强的病例中使用这种治疗方法。
