I was diagnosed with it 2 months ago. (male,30) I have a history of low testosterone and low human growth hormone. Didnt have psudo tumor till I started the Growth Hormone treatments. Im thinking this was a very bad side effect. Do Your homework and see more docs. I let em put in a shunt, and havent been well since.

i have a friend whose daughter was given growth hormones since she is so small and now she has this PTC.
is the growth hormone something that triggers this?
