Extractions: ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION Timothy C. Hain, MD. Please read our Return to Index Page last modified: September 4, 2005 Orthostasis means upright posture, and hypotension means low blood pressure. Thus, orthostatic hypotension consists of symptoms of dizziness, faintness or lightheadedness which appear only on standing, and which are caused by low blood pressure. Only rarely is spinning vertigo caused by orthostasis. Symptoms that often accompany orthostatic hypotension include chest pain, trouble holding the urine, impotence, and dry skin from loss of sweating. Blood pressure is maintained by a combination of several things. The heart is the central pump, and a weak or irregular heart can cause orthostasis. Conditions such as arrhythmia, heart failure, deconditioning, and pregnancy are examples where the heart may not be up to the task of providing an adequate blood pressure. The heart pumps blood, and if there is too little blood volume (anemia, dehydration, dialysis), the pressure drops. The blood vessels in the body also can squeeze (constrict) to raise blood pressure, and if this action is paralyzed, blood pressure may fall. Numerous medications affect blood vessels including most of the medications used for blood pressure, and many of the medications used in psychiatry and for anginal heart pain. Heat, such as a hot shower or from a fever can also dilate blood vessels and cause orthostasis. The nervous system senses and responds to regulate blood pressure. If something is wrong in this control system, blood pressure may fluctuate.
Extractions: A syndrome characterized by a TONIC PUPIL that occurs in combination with decreased lower extremity reflexes. The affected pupil will respond more briskly to accommodation than to light (light-near dissociation) and is supersensitive to dilute pilocarpine eye drops, which induce pupillary constriction. Pathologic features include degeneration of the ciliary ganglion and postganglionic parasympathetic fibers that innervate the pupillary constrictor muscle.

The clinical and anatomical points discussed will overlap with other chapters, but will enhance your general understanding of neurology. In this chapter we will assess visual loss, pupillary abnormalities, and ocular motility problems ( Visual System Visual Loss In testing visual acuity one is actually assessing central or macular vision . This portion of the retina, which consists entirely of cones, is responsible for color perception and the sharpness and clarity of the images that we see.

Extractions: Coexistence of motoneuron disease and suspected demyelinating lesions has a limited, but interesting, differential diagnosis. Radiation injury can produce MRI T2 signal changes suggestive of demyelination, focal lower motoneuron degeneration, and upper motoneuron signs below the level of the injury, but would not be consistent with the clinical history and presentation of this patient. Several hereditary syndromes have been described with combinations of late-onset paraparesis, optic atrophy, and amyotrophy, but none well fitting the apparently sporadic and rapidly progressive bulbar disease encountered in this patient. Prion diseases , including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, may present with amyotrophy and bulbar dysfunction (reviewed in Worrall et al., 2000), as well as oligoclonal bands on CSF studies, but anatomic findings typically reflect spongiform changes rather than demyelination. Furthermore, cases of prion-related amyotrophy have nearly always occurred in a clinical context suggesting prion disease (e.g., advancing dementia), which was not observed in this patient. Motoneuron disease and lesions suggesting CNS demyelination have been reported in HIV disease as well as HTLV-1 associated myelopathy ; the role of opportunistic infections is not always clear in reports of the former.

In long standing cases, the pupil mah become small. This is called by the Europeans as "little old Adie". In cases wherein there are diminished deep tendon reflexes, the nomenclature changes to Holmes-Adie syndrome. A neurologist should see these subset of patients.
