Well, it is most often associated with <40y.o. obese women, I believe. Most often, it is idiopathic in nature.

can give you some chane, but it's just logical thinking. Pregnancy - preeclampsia - hypertension, albuminuria, edema - pseudotumor cerebri

I searched for pregnany as cause, didnt get much except that it is common in females of child bearing age
some abstracts of what i found interesting:
Many conditions and factors have been proposed as causative agents of pseudotumor cerebri including excessive dosages of some exogenously administered medications (e.g., vitamin A, tetracycline, minocycline, naladixic acid, corticosteroids), endocrinologic abnormalities, anemias, blood dyscrasias, and chronic respiratory insufficiency. However the majority of cases remain idiopathic in nature.
another piece:
Predisposing factors Female, overweight, menstrual irregularities
Other: Head trauma, hypoparathyroidism, Addison's disease
Medications: (as above )
