RESTREPO, Mauricio et al. Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome in a pregnant woman with systemic lupus erythematous. Biomédica [online]. 2018, vol.38, suppl.1, pp.10-14. ISSN 0120-4157.  https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v38i0.3586.

Systemic lupus erythematous is a chronic multi-systemic autoimmune disease that affects multiple organ systems, including the central nervous system. Pseudotumor cerebri is a disorder associated with increased intracranial pressure in the absence of a space-occupying lesion or other identifiable cause that affects young and obese women.

We present the case of a pregnant woman with both pseudotumor cerebri and a new diagnosis of active systemic lupus erythematous.
