El pseudotumor cerebri (PC) es un síndrome caracterizado por hipertensión intracraneal en ausencia de lesión ocupante de espacio, hidrocefalia, trombosis de senos venosos cerebrales y de anomalías bioquímicas o citológicas del líquido cefalorraquídeo. Se ha asociado a diversos factores como enfermedades sistémicas o fármacos. Presentamos una paciente, diagnosticada de lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) 7 años antes, con un cuadro agudo de cefalea, vómitos y borrosidad visual acompañado de papiledema bilateral secundario a un PC. Se inició tratamiento con altas dosis de esteroides, con rápida resolución de los síntomas y del papiledema.
