We applied a novel MR imaging technique to investigate the effect of acute mountain
sickness on cerebral tissue water. Nine volunteers were exposed to hypobaric hypoxia …

Background and purpose At high altitude the brain is exposed to hypoxic stress, which may
result in neurological conditions, with acute mountain sickness (AMS) being the most …

Objectives–As prognostic assessment of prolonged cerebral hypoxia is often difficult on
clinical grounds, a tool for an early prognosis of clinical outcome is desirable. Patients and …

In a randomized, double-blind cross-over study 10 subjects were exposed to a simulated
altitude of 4500 m for 10 h after administration of placebo, acetozolamide (250 mg bid) or …

Stability of stance declines at high altitude in subjects with and without acute mountain
sickness (AMS), suggesting that postural ataxia might result from different hypoxia-related …

In this report, we present the cases of two 63-year-old women who developed high altitude
cerebral edema complicated by the occurrence of permanent neuropsychiatric sequelae …

A large proportion of lowlanders ascending to high-altitude (HA) show no signs of mountain
sickness. Whether their brains have indeed suffered from HA environment and the persistent …
