Fig. 1

A 15-year-old female with a 2-week history of occipital headache and cervical pain, later accompanied with nausea, vomiting, diplopia, blurred vision and tinnitus in her right ear. MR, sagittal T1WI a revealed a small pituitary gland for the age group with superior concavity (arrow), presumably secondary to the raised intracranial pressure. Axial FLAIR (b) and axial T2WI c showed flattening of the posterior contour of the eye globes with apparent protrusion/swelling of the optic discs (asterisks). In coronal T2WI d an enlargement of the optic nerve/sheath complex (arrows) was denoted and confirmed by the coronal T2WI FatSat e, f in which the enlargement was conspicuous in more than one slice and surrounded by a high signal of the perineural fat related to transudation of CSF (arrows)
