A couple of nice pseudotumor cerebri images I discovered:

I've had a headache for about 5-6 days, and suddenly it exploded into the worst pain I've ever had accompanied by unbearable nausea. Mom convinced me to play it safe and go to the hospital.
The MRI/MRV and CT scans came back fine, but the spinal tap [or lumbar puncture] was a little off. No aneurysm or meningitis, but the pressure was 36... normal range is between 15-18. It was decided that I either have my first migraine, or 'pseudotumor cerebri', a condition thats symptoms mimic a brain tumor. I'm following up with a neurologist in a few weeks to locate out.
