Abstract
Occasionally pseudotumor cerebri is refractory to all forms of medical therapy. Indications for surgical treatment are the visual complications of raised intracranial pressure. For three patients with these complications who required operative treatment, the technique of lumbar-subarachnoid-peritoneal shunt was used effectively. This technique is recommended as the surgical treatment of choice.Keywords
