Pseudotumor cerebri, also referred to as idiopathic intracranial hypertension, is a syndrome characterized by increased intracranial pressure and excludes underlying structural or systemic causes. Pseudotumor cerebri/idiopathic intracranial hypertension has been reported commonly in obese young women but can occur in children and adolescents. With the rise in overweight children, it is important to include this condition as a differential diagnosis, particularly when patients present with complaints of headache.
