Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Pseudotumor cerebri (PC) is a condition that occurs predominantly in obese women, and long lists of putative causes and associations have been reported. We describe here the case of a woman in whom PC coexisted with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). A review of the literature revealed no report of an association of these two conditions.
