Abstract

Intractable vomiting is a challenging complaint in pediatrics that is caused by many gastrointestinal and extragastrointestinal etiologies. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is one of the serious extragastrointestinal causes that could be overlooked due to non-orientation, atypical presentation, or misleading associated pathology. We present here an eleven-year-old female child with intractable vomiting due to IIH. The presence of concomitant Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) gastritis, which was not the cause of the vomiting, played a distraction factor away from the real cause. Moreover, the initial absence of the characteristic papilledema led to a delay in the IIH diagnosis. Treatment failure of H. pylori gastritis, especially when associated with headache, visual symptoms, and negativity of all other investigations, should direct attention to IIH even with the early absence of its characteristic papilledema.
