Abstract
Benign intracranial hypertension may occasionally be associated with cranial nerve palsies.Abducens nerve palsies occur in 10 % to 20 % patients with benign intracranial hypertension, other cranial nerve palsies occur much less frequently. We reported a 25-year-old woman benign intracranial hypertension with bilateral seventh nerve palsy. Complete improvement of her cranial nerve palsy was achieved with lumboperitoneal shunting within 14 days.
