  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We report a case of benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) resulting from corticosteroid withdrawal. A 36-year-old woman was admitted to hospital because of an intractable headache. A neurological examination on admission showed no abnormalities other than a headache and nausea. CT, MRI, and angiogram examinations showed no abnor-malities. Hematological and laboratory data were also normal. Continuous monitoring of her cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure showed a value of over 25 mmHg during sleep, but papilledema was not observed. A diagnosis of BIH was made, with corticosteroid withdrawal considered to be the most probable cause.
