Fluids Hypertension Syndromes – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 67
- Only 2 patients (4.5%) were without any detectable pathology in their eyes; probably they had nasal
sicknesses which we could not diagnose.
Selecting the 38 patients with only obstructive rhinitis and without any glaucoma, their aches
were:
- 17 patients (44.7%) worsened at morning;
- 12 patients (31.6%) aches at the wide frontal area;
- 10 patients (26.3%) presented sneezing;
- 10 patients (26.3%) aches at the eyes;
- 5 women (19.2% out of the 26 women) worst their aches at menses;
- 7 patients (18.4%) presented Blepharitis or itching eyes;
- 7 patients (18.4%) aches at the temporal areas or at the head-top (vertex);
- 6 patients(15.8%) presented cough;
- 6 patients (15.8%) aches at the occipital area;
- 6 patients (15.8%) presented photophobia;
- 5 patients (13.2%) presented dizziness - vertigo;
- 3 patients (7.9%) aches at the ethmoid area;
- and many other lesser signs and symptoms..
These 38 patients with only obstructive rhinitis had as main Etiologies:
- 31 patients (81.6%) drank caffeine, as coffee, tea, mate or soft drinks daily.
- 23 patients (52.3%) drank excessive water or liquids, with an average of 3.6 liters every day.
- 18 patients (40.9%) drank caffeinated soft drinks;
- 15 patients (34.1%) drank coffee;
- 6 patients (13.6%) with beer drinks;
- 5 patients (11.4%) with medications that raise the cerebrospinal fluid pressure;
In addition, there were other smaller etiologies.
We conclude that recurrent obstructive rhinitis or Nasal congestion in 95.5% of patients was a
symptom of the Cerebrospinal Fluid Hypertension Syndrome, and few of these simultaneously
with the Ocular Hypertension Syndrome.
Comparing the above incidences of Glaucoma and Optic Nerves’ borders edema, out of these two
kinds of rhinitis in the patients, we found (Table VI-3):
