Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 46-year-old man with lower airway infection developed acute mountain sickness (AMS) at a 5,100 m high base camp. AMS was associated with myoclonic jerks (7-8/h) and restless legs. AMS with neurological manifestations could be relieved only upon descent to 3,500 m. To avoid pulmonary or neurological problems at high altitude, adequate acclimatization is a prerequisite. |
