It is usually seen among obese women who are of childbearing age. With an incidence of 0.9 per 100,000 in women of childbearing age, the incidence in obese women is as high as 19.3 per 100,000. Here, we represent the case of a 31-year-old, non-obese primigravida with hypothyroidism which was diagnosed as idiopathic intracranial hypertension during pregnancy. This patient, was managed with multi-disciplinary considerations so as to avoid complications in perioperative period.
