Description Promyelocytic leukemia is often treated with a combination of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) per the recommendation of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and cases of IIH have been previously reported with this therapy.; Our patient was on pulse therapy of ATO and ATRA. The patient became symptomatic with IIH primarily with ATRA. Symptoms improved with discontinuation of ATRA and treatment with acetazolamide.
