title: A 43-year-old woman on triptorelin presenting with pseudotumor cerebri: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time triptorelin has been reported to cause benign intracranial hypertension.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 43-year-old Caucasian woman who suffered from chronic menorrhagia was started on triptorelin, a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue. Three days later, she developed gradually worsening headaches accompanied by bilateral visual disturbance. Examination revealed bilateral papilledema and enlarged blind spots on her visual fields. A diagnosis of benign intracranial hypertension was made and confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We recommend that patients at high risk (women who are overweight and of reproductive age) who are using any gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue (for example, triptorelin) should be periodically monitored for the possible development of benign intracranial hypertension.
