Rose and Matson's article in the February issue ofPediatrics (39:227, 1967) seems to indicate a relationship between preceding infection and the development of benign intracranial hypertension. It would be of interest to know the antibiotics used to treat these children's infections. we have recently encountered a 5-year-old girl with congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract and urinary tract infection who developed headache, vomiting, diplopia, papilledema, and separation of sutures while being treated with tetracycline. She had not received vitamin A, steroids, or other antibiotics.

Nasturtium officinale (family: Brassicaceae) that is commonly known as watercress is a fast-growing aquatic or semi-aquatic perennial plant native to Europe, Central Asia. It is a highly significant food supplement, extensively consumed with salad, juices, or other dishes as an ingredient, flavor, or garnish. The leaves are traditionally used as stomachic, depurative, diuretic, expectorant, hypoglycemic, odontalgic, and stimulant. Meanwhile, it has been used to treat jaundice, asthma, bronchitis, scurvy, tuberculosis, urinary tract infection, and calculi. N. officinale is rich in glucosinolates, carotenoids, polyphenols, as well as Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and α-tocopherol. It is the main source of iron, calcium, iodine, and folic acid.

Congenital abnormalities of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) are the commonest cause of renal problems in children, ranging from asymptomatic or incidental findings to a cause of urinary tract infection and obstruction, renal damage, and end-stage kidney disease. The investigation and management of CAKUT depend on the potential for causing renal injury.
