*Dr. F. Kamri, K. Tamim and S. Mchichou
ABSTRACT
Described for the first time by Quicke in 1897, benign HTIC, also called idiopathic HTIC or pseudotumour cerebri, is an increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure without clinical, biological or radiological arguments in favour of an intracranial pathology.[1][2] We report the case of a patient who was diagnosed with an idiopathic HTIC during the first trimester of her pregnancy. The objective of this work is to specify the particularities of the management of these patients by focusing on the obstetrical consequences of this pathology.
