AIM: To report a successful treatment of an atypical case of pseudotumor cerebri. BACKGROUND: Pseudotumor cerebri is a disorder of raised intracranial pressure. Multiple Case Series have been published about its treatment with sinus stenting. All these cases have had typical presentations. CASE: An atypical fulminant case of pseudotumor cerebri which was treated successfully with venous sinus stenting. CONCLUSION: Venous sinus stenting can be done effectively in atypical cases of pseudotumor cerebri.
