Rise in intracranial tension (ICT) has varied clinical presentation which can range from subtle disturbances like headache to frank neurologic impairment. An important aspect is rapidity of rise of ICT. Pseudotumor cerebri is associated with many syndromes, toxication, and drugs. Our case is a unique one given the rarity of eltroxin, which is otherwise relatively safe drug and commonly used in this part of the world, induced Pseudotumor cerebri. Our patient had dramatic response to discontinuation of levothyroxine.
