Liquor hypertension

Liquor hypertension (h.liquorinum; hyper + lat. liquor - “liquid”) is a type of hypertension characterized by the accumulation of excess fluid in the subarachnoid space. It occurs due to obstruction of the outflow of cerebrospinal fluid and can lead to the development of hydrocephalus. In this article we will look at the causes of cerebrospinal fluid hypertension and its treatment.

CSF hypertension is one of the most common neurological disorders that develops in people over 50 years of age. It occurs in approximately every fifth person. In addition, every second person has osteochondrosis with compression-type symptoms in the cervical spine. This is considered one of the main causes of hypertension. However, there are other possible reasons. For example, proaortic compression or causing compression of the spinal cord can contribute to the development of the disorder. It may also be caused by pinching of the spinal foramen. Hypertensive complications can often be avoided through appropriate treatment of hypertension. To mitigate the condition, you should promptly treat hypertension and osteochondrosis.
