The cause of this condition is head trauma and vertigo can be provoked by the particular alterations in the head positions.
Characters in case:
Brian Rhen and neurologist.
Adequate information:

A 57-year-old man presents at the emergency department with the following symptoms: sudden onset of a headache, weakness of his right arm and leg, and right sided facial droop. He complained that the right side of his body felt numb, and he was found to have diminished touch and position sense on that side. His visual fields were intact, and his cranial nerve examination was normal. The most likely cause of this was occlusion of the:
right middle cerebral artery
right anterior cerebral artery
left middle cerebral artery
left anterior cerebral artery
both vertebral arteries
Basilar artery
right posterior cerebral artery
left posterior cerebral artery

Her seizures are described as generalized tonic-clonic. Originally, she received phenobarbital. The tonic-clonic seizures were controlled, but she began to have episodes of non-responsive staring (absence seizure). Her medication was changed to phenytoin (PHT). PHT controlled both the staring episodes and the tonic-clonic seizures, but severe gum hypertrophy occurred. She was changed to carbamazepine, but the episodes of staring became more frequent and she developed involuntary jerking of her upper extremities (myoclonic seizure). For the past 2 years, she had received 500 mg of valproate (VPA) three times per day. She reported no side effects, seizures, or other related events. At age 30, she suffered a miscarriage while taking PHT. She has a 3.5-year-old son. During the pregnancy, she remained seizure free. There was no history of birth defects.

Our discussion this week pertains to Spinal Cord Injuries. Primary spinal cord injury involves damage to vertebral or neural tissues from compression, traction, or shearing forces. Secondary spinal cord injury is related to ischemia, excitotoxicity, inflammation, edema, oxidative damage, and activation of necrotic and apoptotic cell death; it begins within minutes after injury and continues for weeks. Assignment Instructions: Describe an injury. Some learners will use the same injury, such as a fall off of a horse. Describe how the patient experienced both primary and secondary injuries. Be sure to describe symptoms, implications, and testing that helped clinicians to classify the injury into these categories.arrow_forward
