Fluids Hypertension Syndromes – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 186
When there is a brain hypoxia, there is a vascular reactive dilatation in the brain, which causes a
Cerebrospinal Fluid Hypertension that squeezes the Optic Nerve and increases the pressure inside the
Central Retinal Vein and causes its dilatation, which already was measured: “Persons (aged 55 years or
older) with arteriolar oxygen saturation less than 96% had on average 5 mum larger venular diameters
(measured in 1 eye) compared with those with arteriolar oxygen saturation of 96% or more.” (de Jong
F J, and others).
The chronic squeeze of the Central Retinal Vein by the Cerebrospinal fluid hypertension makes
difficult the blood venous return, visibly engorges the Central Retinal Vein, increases the blood pressure
inside this vein and causes:
- peri-vascular edemas at the Optic Disk,
- retinal hard and soft exudates,
- retinal hemorrhages,
- Central Retinal Vein thrombosis,
- swollen and cystic macular degeneration,
- macular hole,
- glaucoma,
- “age-related” macular degeneration (AMD), and
- Serous macular detachment.
Instead of the false name of “Age-related Macular Degeneration”, the correct name should be “Caffeine,
Wine and Beer Macular Degeneration”.
Central Retinal Vein Thrombosis (Occlusion). It has 2 main pathophysiologies, and both are from
the Fluids' Hypertension Syndromes:
The raise of Cerebrospinal fluid pressure squeezes the Central Retinal Vein in the Optic Nerve behind
the eye, and at the Optic Nerve’s disk, causing retention of the blood drainage inside the eye and
engorging the Central Retinal Vein. This central retinal venous engorgement is visible on direct ophthalmoscopy,
and stimulates its thrombosis.
The Glaucoma stretching the Central Retinal Vein's branches at the arterial-venous crossings and at
the border of the Optic Nerve's cup, cause the blood retention and the Central Retinal vein thrombosis.
On “Four hundred fifty consecutive cases of retinal venous occlusion... (from) 207 (46%) that occurred
within the optic nerve... the optic nerve head swelling group had 80 cases (17.8%) and the nonoptic
nerve head swelling group had 127 cases (28.2%). The mean cup-to-disc ratio was significantly
higher (0.65) in the optic cup - retinal venous occlusion compared with the rest of the groups (0.45-
0.48). The proportion of cases with cup-to-disk > or = 0.7 was significantly higher in the optic cup -
retinal venous occlusion group (39.1%) compared with the rest of the groups (0-6.3%).” (Beaumont P
E, and Kang H K).
XIII - d - 7) Cerebrospinal Fluid Hypertension squeezing the 2 nd cranial nerve - 7 – Chronic
Squeezing of the Central Retinal Vein in the Optic Nerve, Impairing the Interstitial Fluids Resorption
in the Retina.
The chronic Cerebrospinal Fluid Hypertension causes the chronic squeezing of the Central Retinal
Vein inside the Optic Nerve (SchemeXIII-1). This causes the rise of the venous blood pressure and the
engorgement of the Central Retinal Vein branches in the eye, with chronic difficulty of the venous
blood return from the retina, impairing the resorption of the physiologic retinal interstitial fluid. This
cause many blinding sicknesses:
The chronic accumulation of the retinal interstitial fluid causes chronic Macular edema.
The chronic minimal edema of the macula lutea and retina, relapsing many times, results on Drusen
in the retina and on the “Age-Related Macular Degeneration” (AMD). Its correct name should be
“Caffeine, wine and beer macular degeneration”. The soft drusen can appear, grow, stay stable, and
eventually be resorbed. They are dynamic.
The chronic macular edema can result in Cystic Macular Degeneration.
