A case of generalized lymphatic anomaly causing skull-base leakage and bacterial meningitis

A network of intracranial lymphatics is presently being investigated. Neuroimaging excluded KLA infiltration of the skull and/or meninges, leaving as the most plausible explanation for the child's pseudotumor cerebri the existence of an increase in intracranial venous pressure by venous compression at the thorax. To our knowledge, our case constitutes the first report of pseudotumor cerebri occurring in the context of KLA.
