Abstract

Benign intracranial hypertension developed in a 7-year-old boy following tetracycline administration and subsided after discontinuing therapy with the drug. Although this complication is well recognized in infants with open fontanelles, to our knowledge this is the first case reported in a child after cranial suture closure.
