%X Tetracykline is a first-line treatment of the common skin disorder acne vulgaris. A rare side effect of tetracycline treatment is intracranial hypertension also called pseudotumor cerebri (PTC). We report a severe case of PTC with cranial nerve palsy and visual loss in a 16 year old girl following acne vulgaris treatment with tetracycline.
