CLINICAL SCENARIO 6
Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt with New Lethargy
4 topics, 14 min.
0:01
Okay, so we've completed the two scenarios.
0:04
The first, a new neurologic deficit where
0:06
we're concerned mostly about stroke.
0:09
The second scenario, which is head
0:10
trauma, where we're mostly concerned
0:12
about motor vehicle collisions and falls.
0:15
The third most common of the clinical scenarios
0:18
that you see in the emergency department for
0:21
neuroradiology is "worst headache of life."
0:24
Those words—WHOL—you might see on the request slip,
0:27
or "thunderclap headache" or "10 out of 10 headache."
0:32
Those are the buzzwords for the potential
0:36
for subarachnoid hemorrhage associated
0:39
with an aneurysm bursting, and this is a
0:41
neurosurgical and neuroimaging emergency.
0:45
The evaluation starts with a CT
0:47
scan to look for that hemorrhage.
0:49
In the absence of
0:51
hemorrhage demonstrated on CT scanning,
0:54
the next most commonly performed procedure is a
0:57
lumbar puncture, and that is because not only will
1:01
subarachnoid hemorrhage cause the worst headache
1:03
of life, but also meningitis. Meningitis, we
1:07
usually do not see anything on the CT scan, and it's
1:10
required to look at the lumbar puncture, cerebrospinal
1:13
fluid to see whether there is an infection.
1:17
Unfortunately, I, as a migraineur,
1:20
often have the worst headache of my life.
1:23
It seems like every migraine I have is the worst
1:25
headache of life, and therefore, there are a lot of
1:29
patients who come in complaining of the worst headache
1:31
of life that do not have a subarachnoid hemorrhage and
1:35
do not have meningitis, or are just having a severe migraine.
1:39
So this is another example where we
1:42
get a CT scan to rule out hemorrhage
1:46
or to rule out intracranial pathology in
1:49
a patient who has the worst headache of life.
