Pseudotumor cerebri: A rare complication of varicella
Journal of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 11/02/09

Zaki SA et al. – The authors present a child with nephrotic syndrome on low dose steroids who developed pseudotumor cerebri following varicella infection. There are very few case reports describing such an association previously. The authors suggest that pseudotumor cerebri should be included in the differential diagnosis of persistent headache in a child suffering from varicella infection, especially when the child is on steroids.
