In an 18-month period seven children who were treated for a variety of neurological and non-neurological diseases, and in whom the corticosteroid or corticotrophin dosage was reduced, developed a syndrome indistinguishable from "benign intracranial hypertension." The total duration and rate of reduction of corticosteroid dosage and perhaps an underlying susceptibility to cerebral oedema appear to be important factors in this syndrome. Usually patients can be treated without the need for special neuroradiological studies. Possibly mild forms of this condition are not uncommon, but its pathogenesis is still uncertain.
在18个月的时间里,7名因各种神经和非神经疾病接受治疗且皮质类固醇或促肾上腺皮质激素剂量减少的儿童,出现了一种与“良性颅内高压”难以区分的综合征。皮质类固醇剂量减少的总时长和速率以及可能存在的对脑水肿的潜在易感性似乎是该综合征的重要因素。通常患者无需进行特殊的神经放射学检查即可得到治疗。这种情况的轻度形式可能并不罕见,但其发病机制仍不确定。
