Except that the original poster was inquiring about pseudotumor cerebri,
more commonly known as benign intracranial hypertension, which has
absolutely nothing to do with brain tumours. So even if the above is
scientifically valid, which I doubt very much, it's still irrelevant.

The following links should prove far more useful to Michelle:

Note that the correct spelling is "intracranial" not
"intercranial"....this should help with your searches!
