Pseudotumour cerebri related to obesity – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/955774332

Pseudotumour cerebri is a condition in which the pressure inside the skull is increased, which can be associated with obesity. Among adults, a BMI of over 30 suggests that the patient falls within the obese category. The indicators, cut-offs and reference values used to define overweight and obesity in children and adolescents are age- and sex-dependent.
