Abstract
The peculiarity of the present clinical case regarded a relatively benign pathology diagnosed by exclusion. It presented itself by an isolated symptom (diplopia) accompanied by a morphological characteristic (exophthalmus due to previous thyroid pathology), which led to confusion given that the two symptoms are usually not associated. The differential diagnosis included predominantly disorders of the neurosurgical field. The hypothetical diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri with appropriate diuretic and dietetic therapies brought to complete and definite resolution of the clinical picture.
