  • Title: Fatal tonsillar herniation in pseudotumor cerebri.
    Author: Sullivan HC.
    Journal: Neurology; 1991 Jul; 41(7):1142-4. PubMed ID: 2067646.
    Abstract:
    A 27-year-old woman with pseudotumor cerebri died after lumbar puncture secondary to tonsillar herniation. Five years earlier she had a respiratory arrest after lumbar puncture. MRI and autopsy ruled out the presence of an Arnold-Chiari malformation or a mass lesion of the posterior fossa, but midsagittal views suggested the presence of low-lying cerebellar tonsils.
