Ceguera y paraplejía en la hipertensión infantil severa
Lancet (London, England)
|September 15, 1979
Resumen
La hipertensión renal grave en niños puede conducir a daño del nervio óptico y mielopatía. La detección temprana y la reducción gradual de la presión arterial pueden prevenir estas complicaciones graves.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Nefrología Pediátrica.
- Oftalmología Oftalmología.
- Neurología Neurología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La hipertensión renal grave es una condición crítica en los niños.
- Las complicaciones oculares y neurológicas pueden surgir de la hipertensión no controlada.
- Este estudio se centra en una cohorte específica de pacientes pediátricos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para describir casos de hipertensión renal grave en niños.
- Para resaltar las complicaciones neurológicas y oftalmológicas asociadas.
- Para sugerir estrategias preventivas.
Principales métodos:
- Estudio de caso de tres niños con hipertensión renal grave.
- Evaluación clínica de la afectación del nervio óptico y la médula espinal.
Principales resultados:
- Los tres niños presentaron hipertensión renal severa.
- Se observó un infarto bilateral del nervio óptico en todos los pacientes.
- Un paciente también desarrolló mielopatía transversa.
Conclusiones:
- La hipertensión renal grave en niños puede llevar a complicaciones devastadoras.
- La detección temprana de la hipertensión es crucial para la prevención.
- La reducción gradual de la presión arterial puede mitigar los riesgos.

01:30Alterations in Blood Pressure
Alterations in blood pressure, such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and hypotension (low blood pressure), significantly affect human health. Understanding these conditions' classifications, causes, and symptoms is essential for effective management and treatment.
Hypertension (High blood pressure)
Hypertension occurs when blood pressure readings consistently exceed the normal range. It is diagnosed when systolic blood pressure (the top number, indicating pressure while the heart beats)...

01:30Hypertension III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Hypertension is asymptomatic and also referred to as the "silent killer" until it progresses to a severe stage or causes target organ disease. Patients may experience symptoms stemming from the strain on blood vessels and tissues in various organs or the heart's increased workload.Physical exams might show no abnormalities other than high blood pressure. Signs of vascular damage, when present, correspond to the organs supplied by the affected vessels, leading to target organ damage. For...
01:29Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology
A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...
01:14Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction
Intracranial hypertension is a sustained elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) above 22 mm Hg. In supine adults, normal ICP is ~7–15 mm Hg.The rigid, nonexpandable cranium contains three components—brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—that total ~1,700 mL in a typical adult: 1,400 mL brain (~80%), 150 mL blood (~10%), and 150 mL CSF (~10%). According to the Monro–Kellie doctrine, total intracranial volume is effectively fixed. When one component expands, CSF and venous blood...
01:29Increased Intracranial Pressure ll: Pathophysiology
Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) refers to a potentially life-threatening rise in pressure inside the skull. This usually happens when there is a major change in the volume of brain tissue, blood, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — the three components inside the skull. According to the Monro-Kellie doctrine, if the volume of one component increases, the volumes of the other components must decrease to maintain normal pressure. If this does not happen, ICP rises.The process often begins with...
01:25Secondary Spinal Cord Injury llI: Pathophysiology
Early Ischemia and Ionic ImbalanceWithin minutes of spinal cord injury, a secondary cascade begins, progressing over hours to weeks. Vascular damage reduces blood flow, causing ischemia and mitochondrial dysfunction. ATP depletion leads to ion pump failure, membrane depolarization, sodium influx, potassium efflux, and water accumulation, resulting in cellular swelling. Increased intracellular calcium further disrupts mitochondria and accelerates cellular injury.Excitotoxicity and Neuronal...
