Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, also known as pseudotumor cerebri is a condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure, not caused to mass lesions or focal structural abnormalities, or with normal composition of the cerebrospinal fluid. Ventricles can be observed normal or small in imaging studies. Its etiology and pathogenesis are unknown. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is an avoidable cause of visual loss, in both adults and children. Treatment is usually effective, and most patients have observed complete resolution of symptoms without persistent deficits.

Palabras clave : idiopathic intracranial hypertension; pseudotumor cerebri; visual loss.
