Neuroimaging studies were unremarkable and opening pressure on lumbar puncture was 300 mm H2O with normal cerebrospinal fluid composition. After discontinuation of the topical vitamin A preparations, the symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure resolved. The association of intracranial hypertension and topical vitamin A application has only been reported once previously.
