Inflammatory optic disc edema due to Sarcoidosis mimicking malignant hypertension.

Only registered users can translate articles

A common ocular manifestation of sarcoidosis is anterior uveitis. Posterior uveitis is uncommon and optic disc edema is rare. We report one such case in which the initial presentation was mimicking malignant hypertension as the patient had a recent record of high blood pressure. However, the painful

Macular edema. A complication of diabetic retinopathy.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a case of pulmonary edema after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in an 88-year-old man with controlled hypertension and treatment-refractory depression. Despite this unexpected episode of pulmonary edema, the patient was able to complete this course of ECT without further complications.

[Cause and mortality analysis of acute intracranial hypertension and cerebral edema in pediatric intensive care unit].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Acute intracranial hypertension/cerebral edema (ICH/CE) is an increase in brain volume caused by an absolute increase in cerebral tissue water content. Severe ICH/CE is often associated with a higher mortality and higher neurological consequence rate in intensive care unit. However, little

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of and predictive factors for optic nerve head edema (ONHE) among patients with headache, neurologic deficit, visual loss, or elevated blood pressure in the emergency department (ED). METHODS Cross-sectional analysis was done of patients with ONHE in the

Treating acute hypertensive cardiogenic pulmonary edema with high-dose nitroglycerin.

Acute pulmonary edema due to sympathetic surge and increased peripheral vascular resistance often present to the emergency department (ED) with markedly elevated blood pressure, severe dyspnea, and desaturation. This condition is known as "SCAPE" (sympathetic crashing acute pulmonary edema). We

Large T wave inversion and QT prolongation associated with pulmonary edema: a report of nine cases.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to describe a new clinical electrocardiographic phenomenon characterized by diffuse symmetrical T wave inversion and QT prolongation after recovery from an episode of cardiogenic but nonischemic pulmonary edema. BACKGROUND A variety of clinical conditions, but

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical features of cardiac injury associated with neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) in patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). BACKGROUND NPE is generally viewed as a form of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema related to massive sympathetic discharge. METHODS Case

Pulmonary edema after electroconvulsive therapy.

A 42-year-old right-handed man with major depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and hypertension received 7 treatments of right unilateral electroconvulsive therapy, with the only complications being elevated blood pressure up to 180/120 mm Hg and agitation upon

Macular edema--rationale for therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Blood-retinal barrier breakdown with macular edema is caused by many diseases, which modulate--via different growth factors--the integrity of the tight junctions. Starling's law predicts furthermore that macular edema will develop if the hydrostatic pressure gradient between capillary and retinal

Immersion pulmonary edema in a patient on maintenance dialysis: A case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) is a rare condition observed in divers. We report a case of a 66-year-old man on maintenance dialysis who developed acute dyspnea and blood-tinged sputum after scuba diving. Vital signs on admission were significant for elevated blood pressure at 209/63 mmHg and

A phase II randomized clinical trial of intravitreal bevacizumab for diabetic macular edema.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To provide data on the short-term effect of intravitreal bevacizumab for diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS Randomized phase II clinical trial. METHODS One hundred twenty-one eyes of 121 subjects (109 eligible for analysis) with DME and Snellen acuity equivalent ranging from 20/32 to

[Licorice as the cause of elevated blood pressure and headache?].

Only registered users can translate articles

Physicians are familiar with the effect on potassium metabolism of glycyrrhizine acid contained in licorice and salmiac. Even so, glycyrrhizine acid as the cause of even severe symptoms may escape attention, especially in an emergency situation. We describe a patient, who sought medical advice from

Relative prognostic significance of vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Only registered users can translate articles

A retrospective analysis of 274 patients with intracranial aneurysms, diagnosed either angiographically or at autopsy between 1968 and 1973 at the University of Alberta, was carried out. One hundred and forty-six patients had intracranial clipping of the aneurysm. Clinical and radiologic data were

Hypertension following primary bladder closure for vesical exstrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Since the initiation of staged reconstruction for bladder exstrophy, hypertension has been a known complication of the procedure. The etiology of the elevation in blood pressure was presumably secondary to ureteral dysfunction caused by edema at the ureterovesical junction and secondary renal
