We report here a case of a patient with pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) associated with morbid obesity. PTC, also called benign intracranial hypertension, is a known complication of morbid obesity with resolution by reduction of obesity.
A 42-year-old female with morbid obesity and secondary PTC underwent a modified jejunocolonostomy.
The patient has lost 43% of excess body weight and the intracranial pressure is normal.
PTC is a benign pathology, and the cause may be morbid obesity. Bariatric surgery is useful in the management of these patients for the resolution of this disease.

一名患有病态肥胖和继发性PTC的42岁女性接受了改良空肠结肠吻合术。
患者已减掉43%的多余体重，颅内压正常。
PTC是一种良性病变，病因可能是病态肥胖。减重手术对这类患者治疗该疾病有效。
