Introduction:Hyperthyroidism causing pseudotumor cerebri is very rare in children. case report: We are reporting a case of a 17-year-old girl with uncontrolled Graves' disease presenting with pseudotumor cerebri (Ptc). Patient initially did not respond to common management of Ptc with therapeutic lumbar puncture and acetazolamide, but improved after treating hyperthyroidism by radioablation therapy. conclusion: We emphasize that uncontrolled hyperthyroidism should be suspected as a secondary cause of pseudotumor cerebri in children and treated aggressively to avoid its dreaded complications.
