Familial pseudotumor cerebri in male heterozygous twins.

Papilledema due to raised intracranial pressure in absence of intracranial mass arose roughly at the same time in 2 male heterozygous twins. The diagnosis of benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) was confirmed by the finding of normal cerebrospinal fluid and high opening pressure. Neurologic examination was normal. In both cases choroidal folds were evident. The relationship between BIH and genetic factors is discussed.

Abnormal blood rheology in retinal vein occlusion. A preliminary report.

Hemorheological factors were studied in 34 patients affected by retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and in 25 control subjects. Whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen and hematocrit were increased in RVO patients compared with controls. Whole-blood filterability was reduced in RVO patients compared with controls. However, when evaluating the type of capillaropathy at fluorescein angiography, blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were altered in both patients with and without evidence of capillary nonperfusion. Reduction of blood filterability showed statistical significance only in patients with capillary nonperfusion. This finding suggests that reduced whole-blood filterability might be a causal factor in the development of capillary nonperfusion in RVO patients.

[Hemorheological changes in retinal vein occlusions].

Some hemorheological factors were studied in 34 patients affected by retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and in 25 healthy control subjects. Whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen and hematocrit were increased in RVO patients compared with controls. Erythrocyte filterability was reduced in RVO patients compared with controls. However, when evaluating the type of capillaropathy at fluorescein angiography, blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were altered both in patients with and without evidence of capillary non-perfusion. Reduction of red cell filterability showed statistical significance only in patients with capillary non-perfusion. This finding suggests that reduced erythrocyte filterability might be a causal factor in the development of capillary non-perfusion in RVO patients.
