Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

Intracranial hypertension is absolutely different from systemic Hypertension(=Hypertension).Though,raised intracranial pressure can cause some rise in blood pressure reflexly but the typical 'Hypertension',we are referring to here is a different pathology.So,it does not have much of a relation to raised intracranial pressure in childhood.

Future chances of venous occlusion,depend on the cause(pathology) of the earlier venous occlusion.So,I would like to have a look at your previous documents.

Please upload your previous case summary as scanned .jpg image.
Waiting for your follow-up.

Is venal occlusion in any way related to inter-cranial hypertension.

At the time of the venal occlusion it was blamed on rough
and intense upper jaw drilling. The retina was also damaged.

The right eye was always a ling eye that improved to
20/20 from a childhood 20/200

Brief Answer:
Venous occlusion can cause intracranial hypertension.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up.

The only relation between venous occlusion and intra-cranial hypertension is that intracranial venous thrombosis can cause raised intracranial pressure.However,vice versa is not true.

So,if venous occlusion and intra-cranial hypertension exist together,then venous occlusion can be a cause of intra-cranial hypertension.

If proposed etiology of venous thrombosis,was some dental procedure(if you are referring jaw drilling to it),then it is not a cause of recurrent venous occlusion.

If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to answer else please close the thread,rate it and write a review as your rating will be of help to me.
