Pseudotumor cerebri is a reversible process affecting the brain that appears to be -- but is not -- a tumor. The major symptom is increased pressure within the skull (increased intracranial pressure). There is no evidence of tumor, infection, blocked drainage of the fluid surrounding the brain, or any other cause.

Pseudotumor cerebri is a chronic elevation of intracranial pressure that causes papilloedema and possibly blindness, which occurs in the absence of a mass lesion in the brain. Pseudotumor cerebri primarily affects obese women of childbearing age, and its cause is not known.
