Keywords: Benign intracranial hypertension, papilledema

Benign intracranial hypertension is characterized by increased intracranial pressure that is not secondary to space occupying lesions, normal cerebrospinal fluid composition and no focal neurologic signs. The most important clue for the diagnosis is papilledema. But in rare cases, there may be no papilledema. Fourty-eight-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of headache continued for 6 months. Headache did not respond to any treatment. Patient's neurological examination, cranial MRI, cerebral venografi was normal and there was no papilledema. As a result of investigations, the benign intracranial hypertension was found in patients. After treatment, the patient's headaches decreased. In the present case report, we emphasize that bening intracranial hypertension wıthout papilledema must considered as a cause of headache.
