Abstract
Hypertensive encephalopathy is an acute neurologic syndrome that occurs in association with abrupt and marked elevation of blood pressure and is characterized by headache, vomiting, seizure, visual disturbances and altered mental status. Hypertensive encephalopathy is most commonly associated with renal disease in children, including acute glomerulonephritis, reno-vascular hypertension, and end-stage renal disease. Hypertensive encephalopathy associated with nephrolithiasis has not been reported. We have experienced a 10-year-old boy with hypertensive encephalopathy associated with ureteral stone.
고혈압성 뇌병증은 혈압상승과 함께 두통, 오심, 구토, 시력장애, 경련, 의식 변화 등을 특징으로 하는 급성 신경 증후군으로 소아에서는 대부분 급성 신장염이나 신혈관성 고혈압에 의해 발생하고 지금까지 요로 결석과 동반된 고혈압상 뇌병증의 보고는 없었다. 저자들은 요관 결석과 동반되어 발생한 고혈압성 뇌병증 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
