Abstract

 Pseudotumour Cerebri also called as benign intracranial hypertension is characterized by increased intracranial pressure, without a mass lesion and with elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure. Though its incidence in pregnancy is quite rare, the intractable headache associated and danger of impending visual loss warrants an early recognition, diagnosis and treatment.  The following is an antenatal presentation of benign or idiopathic intracranial hypertension or pseudotumour cerebri. 

Keywords: Pseudotumour Cerebri; Benign Intracranial Hypertension; IIH.
