Overview
Causes
Pseudotumor cerebri may be caused by:

- Endocrine dysfunction (obesity, cessation of corticosteroid therapy, Addison disease, hypoparathyroidism)
- Vitamin/drug (growth hormone, hypervitaminosis A, tetracycline, minocycline, nalidixic acid)
- Other (chronic hypercapnia, severe right heart failure, chronic meningitis, hypertensive encephalopathy, severe iron deficiency anemia)
- Idiopathic[1]
