Yes: Pseudotumor cerebri (or idiopathic intracranial hypertension) seems to be associated with high estrogen levels typically seen in obesity and polycystiic ovarian syndrome. Since pregnancy is a high-estrogen condition, it is associated with a increased risk of pseudotumor cerebri. http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/nervous_system_disorders/pseudotumor_cerebri_134, 57/.
