Fluids Hypertension Syndromes – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 66
- 5 patients (9.1%) presented wide frontal migraines;
- 4 patients (7.3%) presented eye redness (eye erythema);
- 4 patients (7.3%) suffered from nausea and retching or vomits;
- 4 patients (7.3%) presented chronic sneezing;
- 2 patients (3.6%) presented eyelid edemas;
- 2 patients (3.6%) felt temporal or at the head-top (vertex) Migraines.
- 2 patients (3.6%) felt occipital migraines;
- 2 patients (3.6%) presented transient visual darkening;
- 2 patients (3.6%) presented obstructive rhinitis;
- 1 patient (1.8%) presented dizziness - vertigo;
And other lesser frequent signs and symptoms.
The Etiologies of these 55 patients with diffuse migraines were:
- 28 patients (50.9%) drank caffeine, as coffee, tea, mate or soft drinks daily.
- 22 patients (40%) drank too much water, with an average of 3.0 liters daily;
- 20 patients (36.4%) drank caffeinated soft drinks;
- 15 patients (27.3%) presented intraocular pressure of 17 mmHg or more;
- 13 patients (23.6%) drank beer;
- 10 patients (18.2%) drank coffee, mate or tea;
- 8 patients (14.5%) presented intraocular pressure of 22 mmHg or more;
- 6 patients (10.9%) presented shallow anterior chamber in their eyes;
- 4 patients (7.3%) drank wine;
- 4 patients (7.3%) used TV or computer excessively;
- 3 patients (5.5%) took medications that raise the fluids pressures;
- 1 patient (1.8%) presented visceral disturbances.
In these 55 patients with diffuse migraines, we found the following during the examination:
- 24 patients (43.6%) presented minimal Optic Nerve's borders edema, and
- 12 patients (21.8%) presented evident Optic Nerve's borders edema.
- From those above patients with Optic Nerve's borders edema, 4 patients presented also peri-vascular
white sheaths around the Optic Nerve disk vessels.
- 4 patients (7.3%) were suspects of glaucoma;
- 5 patients (9.1%) presented incipient glaucoma;
- 2 patients (3.6%) presented advanced glaucoma.
- In only 10 patients (18.2%), 6 adults and 4 children, we did not find any of the above disturbances.
We conclude that diffuse migraines were associated with multiple other signs and symptoms of
Ocular, Cerebrospinal and Inner Ears Fluids Hypertension Syndromes, and were important
symptoms to Glaucoma.
VI-18 - Recurrent Obstructive Rhinitis or Nasal congestion or Nasal stuffiness (without coryza):
Between the patients with some Migraine, we had 44 patients with this obstructive and dry recurrent
rhinitis or Nasal congestion.
Out of these 44 patients with obstructive recurrent rhinitis, during examination we found the
following:
- 18 patients (40.9%) with minimal 0.25 Diopters Optic Nerve's border edema;
- 22 patients (50%) with evident 0.5 Diopters Optic Nerve's borders edema; and at these patients,
- 10 patients (22.7%) with white sheaths around the Optic Nerve disk vessels.
- 3 patients (6.8%) with suspicion of of Glaucoma;
- 3 patients (6.8%) with incipient Glaucoma;
- No patient (0%) with advanced Glaucoma.
