The disorder may be associated with atherosclerosis (build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), diabetes, and certain neurological disorders including Shy-Drager syndrome.

    Extractions: 2. Secondary Arnold-Chiari Malformation The most worrisome and confusing aspects of this case, however, were the findings of CSF pleocytosis and diffuse meningeal enhancement on MRI ( see initial MRI ). In fact, the patient was referred to our service for a possible meningeal biopsy because of the unexplained nature of her problem and these MRI findings. The numerous possibilities of diffuse meningeal enhancement include inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic processes. Meningeal enhancement is seen with meningeal carcinomatosis and lymphoma but the appearance is usually one of nodular enhancement, which may be focal or diffuse. Our patient had no evidence of blood cell dyscrasia on peripheral smear. Additionally this patient had no other symptoms or laboratory findings to suggest the presence of a malignancy. Neurosarcoidosis can give a similar appearance but it is usually associated with cranial neuropathy (53%), parenchymal disease (48%), aseptic meningitis (22%), peripheral neuropathy (17%), myopathy (15%) and/or hydrocephalus (7%). There is usually some evidence of systemic disease (97%) and elevation of serum angiotensin enzyme (ACE) levels. None of these were present in our patient. Lyme disease was considered. There is a triad of meningitis, radiculitis and neuritis without fever that is highly suggestive of this disease. Meningeal enhancement may or may not be seen, but is more often at nerve roots. Initially, patients have mild meningeal signs including headaches, myalgias, stiff neck and cranial nerve involvement. After several weeks patients may have cardiac conduction abnormalities, meningial signs, multiple cranial neuropathies, peripheral mononeuropathies and encephalopathy, as well as transitory erythematous blotchy rashes. The third stage typically involves development of a chronic arthritis. Our patient had none of these findings and her Lyme titers were negative.

    Extractions: General Surgeon - Dryden, Ontario, Canada Bibliography Understanding permissive hypotension in trauma care Permissive hypotension is a hot topic in trauma circles. In the late 20th century, the early care for an injured person included “2 large-bore Intravenous lines, running wide open”. The current trend, in ambulances and emergency rooms, is to limit fluid resuscitation, at least until hemorrhage is controlled by natural hemostasis, external pressure, angiography or surgery. Metaphorically, the tide of fluid resuscitation is ebbing; our bleeding patients are managed drier than previously. Editorial - Permissive Hypotension

    Extractions: Verified by Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) September 2005 Sponsored by: Mount Sinai School of Medicine Information provided by: Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose RATIONALE: Neurogenic hypotension is a fall in blood pressure that occurs when one moves from a lying down to a standing position or after eating a meal. It causes one to feel dizzy, light headed, and weak. Neurogenic hypotension is caused by a problem in the part of the nervous system that controls such functions as heart rate and blood pressure. Droxidopa, a drug that may increase blood pressure, may be an effective treatment for neurogenic hypotension. PURPOSE: Clinical trial to study the effectiveness of droxidopa in treating patients who have neurogenic hypotension. Condition Intervention Shy-Drager Syndrome

    Orthostatic hypotension (OH) describes an extreme drop in blood pressure that may occur when a person stands up suddenly and the blood pools in the blood  
    http://www.bchealthguide.org/kbase/nord/nord769.htm
    
    Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report Hypotension, Orthostatic is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Orthostatic Hypotension (OH) describes an extreme drop in blood pressure that may occur when a person stands up suddenly and the blood pools in the blood vessels of the legs. Because of this pooling, the amount of blood carried back to the heart by the veins is decreased. Subsequently, less blood is pumped out from the heart, resulting in a sudden drop in blood pressure. By definition, the drop in blood pressure must be greater than 20 mm of mercury during contraction of the heart muscles (systole) and more than 10 mm of mercury during expansion of the heart muscles (diastole). Among children and teenagers, short-lived episodes of OH are normal and not uncommon. Episodes among the elderly are always to be taken seriously. Normally, specialized cells in the body (baroreceptors) quickly respond to changes in blood pressure. These baroreceptors then activate the autonomic nervous system to increase, via reflex action, levels of catecholamines (e.g. epinephrine, norepinephrine) in the body. Increased catecholamine levels rapidly restore the blood pressure. A defect in this spontaneous response (reflex), prevents the heart rate and blood pressure from rising adequately and orthostatic hypotension results. Fainting and falling are the usual consequences.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/ask_the_doctor/hypotensionblackouts.shtml
    
    Extractions: Send it to a friend! Every time I get up I seem to black out. I can normally keep it under control, but lately it's made me collapse. Is this anything I should be worried about or is it normal? Deborah, 19 The most likely cause of your blackouts is a condition called postural hypotension. When you go from lying down to standing up, your blood pressure drops very low, probably because your nervous system is a bit slow in telling your heart and blood vessels to work harder to counter the effects of gravity. When this happens, not enough blood reaches your brain causing you to feel faint and collapse. This is usually harmless, although if you fall there's the risk that you may hurt yourself; older people sometimes break their bones this way. In the rest of Europe, low blood pressure is taken seriously; it's often linked to a variety of symptoms and is frequently treated with drugs. In the UK, however, we tend to think that generally it's healthy to have a low blood pressure, so it's rarely treated. However, you should still see your doctor because very occasionally there are other causes for blackouts, although these are rare in young people. It's important that your doctor checks your blood pressure and makes sure of the diagnosis.

    http://www.estronaut.com/a/orthostatic_hypotension_low_blood_pressure_women.htm
    
    Extractions: Orthostatic hypotension primarily affects women. There are also gender differences in the blood pressure to the brain, as well as the body. The brain has additional mechanisms for regulating blood pressure. Woman may experience classic orthostatic hypotension symptoms, but not be diagnosed correctly by some doctors. Doctors in an office setting can only test for this by measuring blood pressure in lying down and then more upright positions and comparing the results. What You Can Do for Orthostatic Hypotension Some medications used to treat other health problems can result in orthostatic hypotension. Two types of medication in particular are antidepressants and anti-hypertension medications. The popular Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor antidepressants (like Prozac and most other modern antidepressants) can induce hypotension, although they have less of an adverse effect than the previously used tricyclic antidepressants. Anti-hypertension medications are most often used for the elderly as blood pressure increases with age. Ironically, the use of these medications can sometimes swing blood pressure to the opposite extreme, resulting in hypotension. If you are taking any of these medication and are experiencing the symptoms of hypotension, you may want to talk to your doctor about switching to a different drug, a lower dose, or discontinuing use of the medication altogether.

    Extractions: The dural findings seen with intracranial hypotension are due to congestive changes caused by chronically low intracranial pressure. The pressure differential may be maintained by an occult CSF leak, and many patients can give a history of previous lumbar puncture or trauma. Uniform thickening of the dura is a characteristic feature, and the lack of nodularity or a basilar distribution can help distinguish this process from metastatic disease or TB/sarcoid. The cerebellar tonsils may occasionally sink through the foramen magnum, leading to an acquired Chiari I malformation. BACK TO UNKNOWNS BACK TO CATEGORIES HOME NEXT CASE
