Fluids Hypertension Syndromes – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 54
He works as waiter, and was used to drink daily water 2,000 milliliter (half gallon), juices 1,000 milliliter
(two pints), caffeinated soft drinks 2,000 milliliter (half gallon), and all the left over beers he
could. He was complaining for the last 7 months of severe daily hyperemia in both eyes, chronic itching
and eyelids edemas. He noted the development of a “thin skin” over his eyes. He also felt chronic
sinusitis with nasal obstruction and coryza. He searched medical advice with three different medical
ophthalmological physicians, received three different eye drops prescriptions, and noted that no one of
them healed his problems. One of those physicians proposed him an ophthalmological surgery but
without any guaranty of success, and he refused. His boss suspected him to use Marijuana, which he
denies.
At ophthalmological examination we found his eyes with diffuse hyperemia, the beginning grow of
four small Pterygium, one at each side of each eye. His intraocular pressures show 18 and 16 mmHg,
which is reasonable. His Anterior chambers were deep. His both Optic Nerves’ disks show On direct
ophthalmoscopy 0.1/1/0/0.5, (cup diameter/ cup depth/ lamina cribosa’s pores visibility/ borders edema)
which is typical from the Cerebrospinal Fluid Hypertension Syndrome and explains all his symptoms,
including the Pterygium aggressiveness without any other etiology. We prescribed him to stop all
drinks.
After one month, the patient returned all better and without any drinks, referring occasional obstructive
rhinitis and sneezing after eating very seasoned pork. His intraocular pressures show 13
mmHg in both eyes, which is physiologic. His Optic Nerve’s disks show reduction of the borders edemas,
which are difficult to evaluate with the direct ophthalmoscope. We prescribed him his first myopic
eyeglasses, with -2.50 spheric diopters on each eye, and 30 tablets of Vitamin “A”, one each day. We
also prescribed the withdrawn of the seasoned foods.
After another month, he came all better, cured. There remained only the nasal Pterygium at both
eyes, both white, stabilized. The temporal ones resorbed.
Here we see the precocious sicknesses caused by caffeine, excessive water, beer and excessive
seasoned food intolerance. The health of his eyes, for his entire life, only rely upon his will power,
avoiding drinks and condiments that his brain and eyes do not tolerate.

symptoms:

- 16 patients (10.5%) presented photophobia;
- 12 patients (7.8%) presented eyelid edemas;
- 10 patients (6.5%) suffered from nausea and retching or vomits;
Other patients presented signs and symptoms with lesser frequencies.
