AB  - Idiopathic  Syndrome  caused  by  increased  intra­cranial  pressure  with  papilledema  of  unknown  origin,  most  often  presenting  with  symptoms  of  cerebral  tumor  (pseudotumor  cerebri)  in  young  obese  women  in  their  childbearing  years.  It  is  a  neuro­logical  disorder  that  is  characterized  by  increased  intracranial  pressure  in  the  absence  of  a  tumor,  increased  cerebrospinal  fluid,  or  other  intracerebral  conditions.  Clinically,  it  is  characterized  by  headache  (pathognomonic)  that  occurs  in  92  to  94%  of  cases.  The  symptoms  are  worse  in  the  morning  and  throbbing  in  nature.
