Yes. Intracranial hypertension is a neurological disorder characterized by increased pressure within the skull that is NOT caused by a tumor. Basically, there is high pressure concerning the cerebrospinal fluid which surrounds and circulates through the brain & spinal cord.
Symptoms can include severe headache, nausea/vomiting, visual disturbances and/or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). In order to diagnose intracranial hypertension, the doctor will order a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to measure the intracranial pressure.
It can be treatable by drug therapy, spinal taps, and weight loss, among other things.

Talk to your doctor about your worries of it coming back.
It can go away and never return but it also could come back (sorry).

i don't know, but as of date I've had four blunt force head traumas, stroke and because of lack of proper use of oxygen after a complete ( asystolic) respiratory, neurological and cardiac code.....it may at one time have been a factor,......but i still make more sense than the MRI i was able to obtain ,
meaning -- you may be better off keeping it in mind as a health risk for you doctors to monitor, but don't forget you still have a chance to keep living, it's the fear of it's recurrence that will cost you time time you'll need to enjoy the rest of your life.
doctors are good for some things, ( ya know?)

My friend had this and it seemed to get better after she had (excuse spelling) optic nerve venestration. It now does seem to be coming back though and she is currently waiting to see a neurologist
