Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is rare in children and associated with high cerebrospinal fluid pressure, with no evidence of intracranial malformation. The etiology is unknown but it is associated with endocrine disorders, drugs, toxins and viral infections. Investigations such as lumbar puncture and imaging are usually normal. We report a child who presented with features of elevated intracranial pressure following measles vaccination. His investigations were all found to be normal and was treated with acetazolamide following which he recovered.
