pulmonary edema/headache

A 13-year-old hypertensive girl with a history of severe headaches following exercise developed circulatory collapse after "squat jumps." Pulmonary edema was present without evidence of a cerebral mass. The patient died with increased intracranial pressure despite decompressive craniectomy.

A 29-year-old male climber developed high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), progressing from headache and dyspnea to disturbance of consciousness in the Japan Alps. He was admitted to Shinshu University Hospital. Physical examination on admission revealed a cyanotic patient with coarse crackles and

BACKGROUND The criteria used for diagnosing high altitude illnesses are largely based on Western literature. This study was undertaken to define objective, simple and reliable diagnostic criteria for high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) in Indian soldiers at altitudes between 2700 m and 3500

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a life-threatening event that can cause permanent disability. This life-threatening event can be further complicated by subsequent cardiac and pulmonary disability. The presence of a neurogenic cardiomyopathy and pulmonary edema increases the morbidity and

High altitude headache (HAH) has been defined by the International Headache Society as a headache that appears within 24 hours after ascent to 2,500 m or higher [1••]. The headache can appear in isolation or as part of acute mountain sickness (AMS), which has more dramatic symptoms than the headache

Acute pulmonary oedema and headache are both common. The former is usually cardiogenic in origin. Severe headache of sudden onset in a young person may be suggestive of subarachnoid headache. We describe a 24-year-old man who presented with headache and pulmonary oedema, finally ascribed to multiple

A previously healthy 20 year-old male presented with headache, acute pulmonary oedema and left ventricular dysfunction requiring intensive care admission. Cardiorespiratory symptoms resolved within three days; however, the patient complained of persistent headache and had gait unsteadiness. Magnetic

The case of a 45-year-old woman with pheochromocytoma, who presented with severe abdominal pain and headache, diabetes mellitus, lactic acidosis and pulmonary edema, is described and discussed. Spleen infarction, not so far described as an ischemic complication of pheochromocytoma, was seen in

Medical records of 150 patients with high-altitude pulmonary edema seen over a 39-month period in a Colorado Rocky Mountain ski area at 2,928 m (9,600 ft) (mean age 34.4 years; 84% male) were reviewed. The mean time to the onset of symptoms was 3 +/- 1.3 days after arrival. Common symptoms were

This is a case report of immediate acute pulmonary edema following the intravenous administration of Stronger Neo-Minophagen C (glycyrrhizin) and Chlor-Trimeton (chlorpheniramine maleate). The patient was a 15-year-old Japanese boy who had a previous history of surgery for right testicular tumor and

A 45-year-old, healthy, well-trained man climbed within 12 hours from 300 m above sea level to a shelter at 2500 m in the Tyrolean Alps. During the following 3 days he undertook ski tours to the surrounding mountains up to 3356 m. On the 4th day he suddenly suffered from headache, coughing and very

Three hundred and five cases of high altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPO) hospitalised in eastern Himalayan region have been analyzed. Incidence of HAPO was 5.5 per cent. Eighty per cent cases occurred during latter half of the year. Fifty six per cent of cases belonged to the third decade of life. HAPO

Adrenergic myocarditis is an uncommon presentation of pheochromocytoma and extremely rare cause of de novo acute heart failure (AHF). We present a case of a 31-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of hypertension and recurrent occipital headaches who was admitted to the emergency department due
