| Abstract: | A total of 30 patients with arterial hypotension were examined. Rheoencephalogrammes documented hypotension of the arterial and venous constituents of the brain in one third of the above patients (in those patients with physiological hypotension it was recordable more frequently): in one forth of those cases with primary arterial hypotension presenting with the cerebral crises, moderately severe venous and arterial hypotension was generally seen. In a major proportion of the examinees, a correlation was found between the drop in arterial pressure, vascular tension of the arterial vessels of the brain and an adequate state of the venous tension and liquor pressure. Roentgenography of the skull and ophthalmoscopy do not permit forming an opinion about liquor hypertension since it was not demonstrated on the computerized tomographic scans. |
