Pseudotumor cerebri is a medical condition characterized by the buildup of excessive pressure in the skull, causing symptoms such as headache, ringing in the ears, and vision problems. This condition is also known by several other names, including idiopathic intracranial hypertension, benign intracranial hypertension, and elevated intracranial pressure. While these terms are used interchangeably, they all refer to the same condition. Other synonyms for pseudotumor cerebri include intracranial hypertension, intracranial pressure, and cranial hypertension. Regardless of the term used, timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to preventing long-term damage to the brain and vision problems.
