Abstract:
Ustekinumab is a monoclonal antibody, which binds the p40 subunit of IL-12 and IL-23 so they are unable to bind to their receptors, ultimately reducing T-cell-mediated inflammation in psoriasis. Studies and cases have focused on the risk of infection and malignancy associated with the use of biologics medications; however, there have been limited data available on the potential neurological adverse effects of biologics. We report the case of a 44-year-old female with a longstanding history of psoriasis who developed benign intracranial hypertension while on ustekinumab for her psoriasis.
