Both vesicoureteral reflux and recurrent upper urinary tract infections can cause Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and hypertension. Systemic hypertension can develop neurologic symptoms in patients by causing intracranial hypertension, but Pseudotumor Cerebri (PTC) is rare with CKD. Herein, we present an 11 years old girl with neurologic symptoms. CKD, hypertension, and PTC were detected. Through the administered treatment, neurologic symptoms were regressed and blood pressure was controlled.

Teratoma is a congenital tumor composed of an admixture of different tissue types representative of ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm. There intracranial location is rare, preferentially rise in the midline structures, and more diagnosed in pediatric population. We presented an unusual case of a huge mature intracranial teratoma in a female new born. In MRI, the lesion occupied the place of the totality left hemisphere and deformed the normal cerebral structures. The patient underwent great total resection of the tumor after two stages. On per surgery the tumor was lobulated, containing heterogeneous solid and cystic components. Histological study has established the diagnosis of mature teratoma. Follow-up at 6 months did not show any evidence of recurrence.
