A 22-year-old healthy woman visited our clinic for seizure and consciousness loss. A thorough history taking and physical examination was negative except for persistent high blood pressure. Serial workup for suspicious secondary hypertension revealed secondary hyperaldosteronism. Further image study
In children, renal artery stenosis is an uncommon but important cause of secondary hypertension. In this report, the authors describe a 5-year-old boy with no history of seizures who experienced status epilepticus. Postictal blood pressure, relative hypotension, was misinterpreted as normal on the
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized clinically by headache, altered mental status, visual loss, and seizures. PRES is associated with neuroradiological findings characterized by white matter abnormalities, predominantly in the parieto-occipital regions of the brain.
BACKGROUND
Hyponatremic hypertensive syndrome (HHS) is an uncommon disorder usually encountered in the adult population with unilateral renal artery stenosis and is under-recognized in the pediatric population.
METHODS
A 19-month-old male presented with new-onset status epilepticus associated with
We describe a 26-year-old white female with a history of Raynaud phenomenon, erythema nodosum, polyarthralgias, migraine, vertigo, seizures, transient ischemic attacks, one fetal loss, and false positive VDRL, who developed milk hypertension without overt lupus nephritis. She had positive
We present the case of a 21-year-old man who developed a renal artery pseudoaneurysm following a 7-foot fall onto his back. He initially presented with gross hematuria, left flank pain, and back pain. He was observed in the hospital for 3 days and discharged. One week later, he was readmitted with
Blood pressure (BP) is low at birth. It increases with age, by about 1 mm Hg per day within the period of 3 to 8 days. It rises by about 1 mm Hg per week between ages 5 to 6 weeks. At a latter age, systolic BP is close to 95 +/- 10 mm Hg. Hypertension is a rare condition in the neonate, where it
Blood pressure is low at birth. It increases with age by about 1 mm Hg per day within the period of 3-8 days. It rises by about 1 mm Hg per week between 5 and 6 weeks of age. Neonatal hypertension carries a risk of cardiorespiratory failure and cerebral distress. Causes of neonatal hypertension are
Takayasu's disease is a chronic, nonspecific arteritis of unknown etiology. It mainly affects young women in the second and third decade of life. The reports of the disease in pediatric patients are rare. The pathological process involves all the layers of the arterial wall. It affects primarily the
BACKGROUND
Two children presented with malignant hypertension due to complex reno-vascular malformations. The 7-min video shows the use of prone retroperitoneoscopy in both. PATIENT 1: A 6-year-old girl presented with convulsions and malignant hypertension. Captopril DMSA was suggestive of right
A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of preceding throbbing headache and tonic convulsions. Headache and convulsive seizure disappeared and his consciousness recovered to alert within 2 hours after onset. Neurological examination showed no abnormal findings. Laboratory
A 23-year-old woman presented with disturbance of consciousness and seizure. Her blood pressure was remarkably high, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed high-intensity T2 signals in the bilateral basal ganglia, corpus callosum, cerebral white matter, and cortex. With the administration
Hypertensive crisis is a sudden rise in blood pressure above 99 c. for sex, age and height +5 mm Hg. Depending on patient's symptoms, hypertensive crisis can be divided into hypertensive emergency severe arterial hypertension with target organ insufficiency and/r damage (central nervous system,
Renovascular disease accounts for 8-10% of all cases of paediatric hypertension, whereas, in adults, its incidence is approximately 1%. The Turkish Paediatric Hypertension Group aimed to create the first registry database for childhood renovascular hypertension in Turkey. Twenty of the 28 paediatric
Pediatric hypertension can cause hypertensive emergencies, including hemorrhagic stroke, contributing to rare but serious childhood morbidity and mortality. Renovascular hypertension (RVH) is one of the major causes of secondary hypertension in children. Grange syndrome (MIM#602531) is a rare
