Abstract
- Pseudotumor cerebri is a syndrome of increased intracranial pressure, and may be a rare complication of cyclosporine treatment. We report a 26-year-old woman with pseudotumor cerebri which developed after cyclosporine medication for kidney transplantation. Regular examinations of the fundi are required in patients taking oral cyclosporine, especially when they report headache or blurred vision.
