摘要：
Benign intracranial hypertension, an unusual case of headaches, was associated with pregnancy in a gravid female with the chief complaint of headache. Symptoms resolved after three days of prednisone therapy. In benign intracranial hypertension, the possibilities of intracranial mass lesions, intracranial infection, obstruction of the cerebral ventricles, and hypertensive encephalopathy are excluded by evaluation with skull films, computerized axial tomography, electroencephalography and lumbar puncture. The only symptom may be headache and the only physical sign, papilledema. Therefore, neurological examination must include visualization of the fundi. © 1979 American College of Emergency Physicians.
