| Abstract | Pseudotumor cerebri is an increase in intracranial pressure with no evidence of an intracranial space-occupying lesion. It is considered a rare complication of growth hormone therapy. We report a rare case of a 7-year-old boy with panhypopituitarism presenting with pseudotumor cerebri after three months of growth hormone replacement therapy. Intracranial pressure normalized after withdrawal of growth hormone therapy, addition of acetazolamide, and serial therapeutic lumber punctures. KEYWORDS: Pseudotumor cerebri, growth hormone therapy, panhypopituitarism. |
