Abstract
The entity of "neurogenic hypertension" is defined as arterial hypertension
caused explicitly by derangement of the intricate network of the central nervous
system.
Among 193 cases of cranial rhizopathies operated on between 1984 and 1995
at this center, 5 cases of established arterial hypertension with concomitant
rhizopathies also underwent ventrolateral medullary decompression. The elevated
blood pressure showed an incredible decline, reaching normal values after
vascular decompression. The systolic blood pressure however showed a much
greater fall than the diastolic component.
An endeavour is made to throw light on the cases operated on with special
emphasis on the central nervous system as an etiological factor to explain the cause
of essential hypertension.
