Chapter 12, Problem 2CCS
39-Year-Old Female with Traumatic Brain Injury
Margaret Bryans, a 39-year-old female, lost control while skiing and hit her head on a tree. She regained consciousness en route to the hospital and appeared agitated and combative. Paramedics observed that she had a right hemiparesis (muscle weakness), with a nearly complete paresis of her right upper extremity and a partial paresis of the right lower extremity. A head CT scan revealed an acute subdural hematoma and an extensive subarachnoid hemorrhage. Doctors noted that she was able to follow commands from medical personnel. However, she could only speak haltingly, using simple words.
Surgery to remove large clots from the subarachnoid space was performed immediately. Two weeks after the surgery, she showed significant improvement in her speech and motor function.
2. Which side of the brain is involved in Mrs. Bryans’s injury? What evidence did you use to determine this?

10-year-old female was admitted due to episodes of generalized seizure-like activity that started a day prior to admission. 14 days prior to admission(PTA), she was playing with friends in their backyard when an object cut her leg. Despite having a deep cut, she continued on her game. 10 days PTA, she experienced stiffness of the neck, difficulty of swallowing and chewing. the signa and symptoms persisted until 7 days PTA, when she experienced abdominal rigidity, sweating, fever and tachycardia. the patient condition worsened until admission.

- Please describe an example of both a primary and secondary spinal cord injury. 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_forwardA 21-year-old male medical student is taken to the ER by his roommates complaining of progressive weakness. The history reveals that this student had an intestinal virus with diarrhea and vomiting that resolve over 2 days. About 10 days later, he noticed tingling sensations and numbness in his feet, followed by progressive weakness. Over the last 8 days it has gotten so bad that he is having trouble standing, and walking. His physical examination shows normal cranial nerves, distal weakness of the lower extremities (about 3+/5), absent reflexes over the lower extremities, and mild decreased vibration and position sense loss. 1. What is your differential diagnosis? 2. Where is the lesion? 3. Which diagnostic test would you perform first and why? 4. What is the most likely diagnosis and why?arrow_forwardDefine the following terms and include histologic changes causing/contributory to the disorder. 1. Epilepsy2. Multiple Sclerosis3.

His medical history includes high blood pressure and a heart attack five years ago. His medications include a daily aspirin, and he has been a lifelong smoker. His temperature is normal, his heart rate is 62 beats per minute, and his blood pressure is 135/87. The rest of his neurological and physical exam is normal his heart rhythm is normal, and his blood tests all come back normal.

Now his speech is slurred, and his right arm and the right side of his face feel numb. He is very anxious and is transported to the hospital. Mr. Q has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, and there is a family history of CVA(Cerebrovascular Accident) and diabetes. Assessment at the hospital indicated weakness on the right side, including facial asymmetry and blood pressure of 220/110 Hg mm. A CT scan showed damaged tissue on the left side of the brain, and an angiography indicated a narrowing of the carotid arteries and middle cerebral arteries, with occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Explain the predisposing factors in this case, and relate Mr. Q’s initial signs to the pathological changes. Discuss the different types of disabilities That Mr.Q will face and possible treatments plans?arrow_forward
