Abstract Background The presentation of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in association with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is rare. Case presentation This case report depicts the unusual case of a 31-year-old woman of mixed Jamaican and English heritage with IIH who presented initially as IDA in the context of menorrhagia. Subsequent ophthalmic review, lumbar puncture, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and neuroimaging studies revealed severe bilateral optic disc swelling and raised intracranial pressure in keeping with IIH. Prompt treatment of IDA with blood transfusion and orally administered iron supplements, in addition to medical treatment for IIH, contributed to significant improvement of symptoms and prevented long-term visual deficits. Conclusion The possibility of IDA, albeit rare, should always be considered and investigated appropriately in all patients with IIH, as the treatment of the anemia alone may be sight-saving.

Sandifer syndrome, named after neurologist Paul Sandifer, was first reported by Marcel Kinsbourne in 1962, who noted an upper gastrointestinal disorder that occurs in children and adolescents with neurological manifestations. Sandifer syndrome is a neurobehavioral disorder that causes a series of paroxysmal dystonic movements in association with gastroesophageal reflux and, in some cases, with hiatal hernia. It is characterized by esophagitis, iron deficiency anemia, and is often mistaken for a seizure of epileptic origin.
