AIMS: The aim was to identify Pseudotumor cerebri treatment options and assess 
their efficacy.
SETTING AND DESIGN: Review article.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Existing literature and the authors' experience were 
reviewed.
RESULTS: Treatment options range from observation to surgical intervention. 
Weight loss and medical treatment may be utilized in cases without vision loss 
or in combination with surgical treatment. Cerebrospinal fluid shunting 
procedures and/or optic nerve sheath decompression is indicated for severe 
vision loss or headache unresponsive to medical management. The recent use of 
endovascular stenting of transverse sinus stenoses has also demonstrated benefit 
in patients with pseudotumor cerebri.
CONCLUSION: While each treatment form may be successful individually, a 
multimodal approach is typically utilized with treatments selected on a 
case-by-case basis.
