A common ocular manifestation of sarcoidosis is anterior uveitis. Posterior uveitis is uncommon and optic disc edema is rare. We report one such case in which the initial presentation was mimicking malignant hypertension as the patient had a recent record of high blood pressure. However, the painful
Diabetic macular edema is the leading cause of decreased vision from diabetic retinopathy. This decreased vision is caused by an increase in extracellular fluid within the retina distorting the retinal architecture and frequently taking on a pattern of cystoid macular edema. This fluid accumulates
We report a case of pulmonary edema after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in an 88-year-old man with controlled hypertension and treatment-refractory depression. Despite this unexpected episode of pulmonary edema, the patient was able to complete this course of ECT without further complications.
OBJECTIVE
Acute intracranial hypertension/cerebral edema (ICH/CE) is an increase in brain volume caused by an absolute increase in cerebral tissue water content. Severe ICH/CE is often associated with a higher mortality and higher neurological consequence rate in intensive care unit. However, little
OBJECTIVE
To determine the frequency of and predictive factors for optic nerve head edema (ONHE) among patients with headache, neurologic deficit, visual loss, or elevated blood pressure in the emergency department (ED).
METHODS
Cross-sectional analysis was done of patients with ONHE in the
Acute pulmonary edema due to sympathetic surge and increased peripheral vascular resistance often present to the emergency department (ED) with markedly elevated blood pressure, severe dyspnea, and desaturation. This condition is known as "SCAPE" (sympathetic crashing acute pulmonary edema). We
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to describe a new clinical electrocardiographic phenomenon characterized by diffuse symmetrical T wave inversion and QT prolongation after recovery from an episode of cardiogenic but nonischemic pulmonary edema.
BACKGROUND
A variety of clinical conditions, but
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical features of cardiac injury associated with neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) in patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
BACKGROUND
NPE is generally viewed as a form of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema related to massive sympathetic discharge.
METHODS
Case
A 42-year-old right-handed man with major depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and hypertension received 7 treatments of right unilateral electroconvulsive therapy, with the only complications being elevated blood pressure up to 180/120 mm Hg and agitation upon
Blood-retinal barrier breakdown with macular edema is caused by many diseases, which modulate--via different growth factors--the integrity of the tight junctions. Starling's law predicts furthermore that macular edema will develop if the hydrostatic pressure gradient between capillary and retinal
Immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) is a rare condition observed in divers. We report a case of a 66-year-old man on maintenance dialysis who developed acute dyspnea and blood-tinged sputum after scuba diving. Vital signs on admission were significant for elevated blood pressure at 209/63 mmHg and
OBJECTIVE
To provide data on the short-term effect of intravitreal bevacizumab for diabetic macular edema (DME).
METHODS
Randomized phase II clinical trial.
METHODS
One hundred twenty-one eyes of 121 subjects (109 eligible for analysis) with DME and Snellen acuity equivalent ranging from 20/32 to
Physicians are familiar with the effect on potassium metabolism of glycyrrhizine acid contained in licorice and salmiac. Even so, glycyrrhizine acid as the cause of even severe symptoms may escape attention, especially in an emergency situation. We describe a patient, who sought medical advice from
A retrospective analysis of 274 patients with intracranial aneurysms, diagnosed either angiographically or at autopsy between 1968 and 1973 at the University of Alberta, was carried out. One hundred and forty-six patients had intracranial clipping of the aneurysm. Clinical and radiologic data were
Since the initiation of staged reconstruction for bladder exstrophy, hypertension has been a known complication of the procedure. The etiology of the elevation in blood pressure was presumably secondary to ureteral dysfunction caused by edema at the ureterovesical junction and secondary renal
