I found a paper about retinoids and this subject:
http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/95/13/7240

Excess Vit A retinol taken orally leads to increased CSF pressure and symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri.
Other drugs also raise pressure:
Vit A retinol
tetracycline family
nalidixic acid
ketamine (recreational abuse--- or anesthesia)
