Pseudotumor Cerebri

	Asked by jkski45 (Male; 41 ) on Thu 05, Nov 2009 03:49pm :
	My son is 41 years old and weighs 197 lbs at the height of 5'11". He has no prior medical issues or surgeries, but was recently diagnosed with Pseudotumor cerebri. He was prescribed acetazolamid at 250mg once a day. He was seeking a second opinion on the diagnosis. I would like to know if this is a common diagnosis for someone of his age and health, and whether he will have the disease and be medicated indefinitely.
