Description While pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) is associated with obesity in adults, weight is a less important contributory factor in children. Moreover, bariatric surgery is a well-accepted treatment option for PTCS in adults but has rarely been reported in prepubertal and pubertal children.
