  2. Case # 7 63 yr old left handed female presents with progressive headache, left homonymous hemianopia and left hemiparesis. PMH: HTN, DM, breast cancer 12 years earlier with negative follow up ROS: no systemic complaints Meds: Prozac, ASA, glucotrol, lasix

  3. Physical Exam Constitutional: Normal appearing, no evidence of systemic illness Neurological: A&O x3, speech normal, memory decreased Cranial nerves: decrease vision left visual field Motor 4/5 left Sensory decreased left DTRs increased on left Cerebellar normal Gait normal, tandem off

  4. Course POD #1: Mild confusion, neurologically intact with improved motor strength to 4+/5, some visual field deficit to the left. POD #5: Worsened confusion, with motor strength of 3/5 on the left

  5. Case #8 58 yr old female presents to your ED with sudden headache followed by acute visual loss OU. PMH is significant only for HTN, DM On exam, the ED physician reports a patient in distress with severe headache, mild meningismus, a non reactive right pupil with NLP, and left eye with light perception, finger counting.

  6. Tests Normal labs, except a prolactin level of 430, and low cortisol MRI in the Emergency Department shows an abnormality

  7. Course Intraoperative findings: blood clot and likely adenoma. Gross total resection. CSF leak intraop.

  8. Course POD #1: improved vision and headache, overnight urine output increases to 400cc/hr POD #2: Pt coughing excessively and intermittently choking on fluid in nasopharynx

  9. Case #9 42 yr old right handed male presents to your hospital with headaches, dysphasia and progressive right hemiparesis. PMH is significant for hypercholesterolemia ROS: is negative for systemic complaints except chronic cough.

  10. Physical Examination A&Ox3, speech hesitancy, memory intact No meningismus CN: intact Motor 3/5 on the right, arm weaker than leg Sensory, decreased on the right DTR: increased on the right with + Babinski

  11. Course Day #1: Initial improvement in clinical condition Day #3: Deterioration, with obtundation, rising fevers, meningismus and WBC 22,000

  12. Case #10 71 yr old female with a significant past medical history of HTN, DM, CRF The pt presents with acute right side weakness involving UE/LE ROS: several days of vomiting and diarrhea. No oral intake for several days. Meds: ASA, Atrovent, Insulin, Cardizem

  13. Physical Exam AO x person, hospital, Mild aphasia BP 94/50, Pulse 130 PERRL, EOMI Face symmetric, tongue midline LUE/LLE 4/5 RUE/RLE 3/5

  14. CT on Admission

  15. MRI

  16. CT Venogram

  17. Repeat CT after 1 day

  18. Course Negative hypercoagulable panel CT chest/abd/pelvis – WNL Natural History

  21. Physical Exam Afebrile, BP 180/110, Pulse 70, RR 20 Mental status and speech normal Cranial nerves normal Motor: Left upper ext 3/5 in all muscle groups Sensory: mild left upper ext numbness DTR and cerebellar: normal

  22. MRI perfusion of brain

  23. Due to creatinine, the patient could not get a CTA or angiogram

  24. MRA shows a left carotid ICA stenosis of 90% with some ulcerated plaque. There is no tandem stenosis No prior radiation to neck, no prior surgeries of the neck, the bifurcation is C4-5

  25. Course Intraoperative monitoring shows ipsilateral hemispheric decrease during the procedure

  26. Case #12 • 42-year-old male with 2-month with left shoulder and arm pain • Radiation of pain through his radial forearm to thumb and first finger • Non-focal neurological exam with exception: • decreased (2/5) strength and reflex in the left bicep • decreased pinprick in the thumb and first finger

  27. Course POD #1: Arm pain is much better, mod swallowing problems POD#12: Arm pain returns, swallowing much worse.
