CSF' s high lymphocyte count is abnormal so etiology needs to be defined. CSF pressure is high in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) but the cell count should be normal. I do not rule out the causal relationship between high CSF white cell count (lymphocyte in this case) with intracranial hypertension, so it may not be IIH. Neurologist will give you the answer, good luck to you.
