High-altitude illness is the collective term for acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude cerebral oedema (HACE), and high-altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE). The pathophysiology of these syndromes is not completely understood, although studies have substantially contributed to the current understanding of several areas.

Travel to a high altitude requires that the human body acclimatize to hypobaric hypoxia. Failure to acclimatize results in three common but preventable maladies known collectively as high-altitude illness: acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE).

Physics Today, 1950
Science has always been international, and where it has flourished it has been nurtured by the contributions of men from all nations. High altitude laboratories similarly are especially beneficial if they are organized on an international basis. High altitude laboratories can serve the scientific community in many ways.

Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2015
High-altitude headache is one of many neurological symptoms associated with the ascent to high altitudes. Cellular hypoxia due to decreased barometric pressure seems to be the common final pathway for headache as altitude increases. Susceptibility to high-altitude headache depends on genetic factors, history of migraine, and acclimatization, but ...

To report a patient with high-altitude retinopathy.A 30-year-old man with high-altitude retinopathy was examined and treated.After spending 2 weeks at an altitude of 7,000 meters and then descending to sea level, the patient's visual acuity was RE, 20/20 and LE, 20/50.

Acute mountain sickness, high-altitude cerebral edema, and high-altitude pulmonary edema are illnesses associated with acute exposure to altitudes greater than 8000 ft. Although usually self-limiting problems, they can be severe and life threatening. Gradual ascent to allow acclimatization can lessen or prevent symptoms.

To the Editor.— In regard to the question on pitting leg edema after a backpacking trip (238:1957, 1977), it would be important to know if the physician experienced edema during or after a backpacking trip to an altitude exceeding 2,400 m. Many hikers experience moderate facial and lower extremity edema during exposure to high altitude with a diuresis

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is usually a benign and self-limited illness that befalls previously healthy individuals who ascend rapidly to high altitude without sufficient acclimatization. In its more severe forms, AMS can progress to a life-threatening condition in which pulmonary or cerebral edema can occur singly or in concert.

High altitude deterioration means a gradual diminution in man’s capacity to do work at great heights. This is associated with insomnia, lack of appetite, loss of weight and increasing lethargy. These symptoms appear after a prolonged stay above 18000 ft. and there is great individual variation.
