Fluids Hypertension Syndromes – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 72
At the ophthalmological examination of the 10 patients with “chronic Otitis”, we found:
- 5 patients (50%) presented mild Optic nerve’s borders edema, and
- 3 patients (30%) presented evident Optic Nerve’s borders edema,
- 1 patient from those above, with white sheaths around the Optic Nerves' disk vessels;
- 2 patients (20%) presented intraocular pressure of 18 mmHg or more;
- 2 patients (20%) presented suspicion of Glaucoma, one with familial glaucoma;
- 1 patient (10%) presented incipient Glaucoma, with familial glaucoma.
We conclude that the Inner Ears fluids hypertension Syndrome ever occurs together with one of
the other two Fluids Hypertension Syndromes.
VI- 23 – Visual Auras of Migraine (Fortification spectra): Visual auras are the most evident prodromic
symptoms of migraines, between others. The aura usually lasts for 5 to 20 minutes. Usually
they are consequent to the ischemia at the central nervous system: retina, Optic Nerve, or brain striate
cortex, and the affected area manifests its dysfunction. The aura is not essential to migraine. Most patients
do not have auras, and even those who felt them, also can have migraines without them.
The patient with Visual Aura without been immediately followed by a Migraine is denominated with
“Acephalgic Migraine’’.
From the 931 patients with some migraine, we collected 10 patients with visual auras: 9 women and 1
man, with average age of 46.9-year-old. These 10 patients also presented more 34 alternative signs and
symptoms (Migraine variants).
The 10 patients with visual auras had other signs and symptoms:
- 5 patients with frontal migraines;
- 4 patients with ocular aches (pain);
- 3 patients with temporal or head-top (vertex) migraines;
- 2 patients with occipital migraines;
- 2 patients with diffuse migraines;
- 2 patients worsened their migraines at morning;
- 2 patients with eyelid edemas;
- 2 patients with tearfulness and Rhinitis with coryza or Rhinorrhea;
- 2 patients suffering from sneezing;
- 2 patients with Amaurosis Fugax;
In addition, other lesser frequent signs and symptoms.
All those above 10 patients with Aura presented Migraines. In this statistic, we did not have any
Acephalgic Migraine.
The 10 patients with visual auras had the Etiologies:
- 8 patients (80%) drank caffeine, as coffee, tea, mate or soft drinks daily. The other 2 women, 1 with
17 year-old drank excessive water (3.100 milliliters) daily, the other with 83 year-old had advanced
chronic open-angle high tension glaucoma in both eyes.
- 7 patients (70%) drank excessive water, with an average of 2.5 liters a day;
- 4 patients (40%) drank coffee;
- 4 patients (40%) presented shallow anterior chamber in their eyes;
- 3 patients (30%) drank soft drinks with caffeine;
- 2 patients (20%) drank tea;
- 2 patients (20%) drank beer; and
- 2 patients (20%) drank wine.
