A member asked:
Read few papers suggestion pseudotumour cerebri can call wide spread radiculpathy - even parlaysis. due to same mechanism of swelling of the optic nerves - but in the spinal column. have you seen this? patients get better with lumbar puncture.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With severe cases: pressure can cause many problems, as you suggest. Weight loss if needed and certain diuretic medications can help. Lumbar puncture is a short term solution and also helps in diagnosis.
