A member asked:
I'm wondering if i have any neurologic complications after hace at high altitude. is this possible if i don't have any symptoms i'm aware of?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible, not likely: There is always microvascular damage in cases of HACE. After recovery people usually do not have ongoing problems. There are rare cases of vision damage that might subtle. Here is a place to go for information: http://www.altitude.org/altitude_sickness.php Most importantly, condition yourself and adapt to high altitude situations in the future because damage is cumulative.
