- Abstract
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is rare in the pediatric population. It's characterized by increased intracranial pressure in the absence of any evident underlying neurologic disease. The most frequent cranial nerve deficit associated with that condition is abducens nerve palsy. The association of sixth and seventh cranial nerve damage is uncommon. In this report, we describe the case of an 8-year-old girl who presented with headache, diplopia, and peripheral facial palsy related to idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
