Neurosurgery Consult Note

chief complaint

No chief complaint on file.

AAABBB is a 32 Y female patient who presents with headaches, syncopal event. Found to have an unruptured giant left MCA aneurysm.

Patient Active Problem List:

ALCOHOL INTOXICATION

LEUKOCYTOSIS

MODERATE ALCOHOL USE DISORDER

CERVICAL HIGH RISK HPV TEST POSITIVE

ALCOHOLIC CIRRHOSIS

METABOLIC ACIDOSIS

HYPONATREMIA

NONRUPTURED CEREBRAL ANEURYSM

Imaging: Abnormal findings left MCA aneurysm with vasogenic edema, no sign of rupture.

NEUROLOGICAL EXAM:

MENTAL STATUS: alert and oriented

SPEECH: Speech normal pattern, fluent, no dysphasia or dysarthria

CRANIAL NERVE: II: visual fields full to confrontation. Optic discs appear normal

III, IV,VI: full extraoccular movements without nystagmus. Pupils equal, round, reactive to light.

V: facial sensation normal to light touch and pinprick bilaterally

VII: facial strength normal and symmetric

VIII: intact to finger rub bilaterally;

IX, X: palate lifts in the midline

XI: sternocleidomastoid strength normal and symmetric

XII: tongue protrudes in the midline, no atrophy or fasciculations.

MOTOR EXAM:Motor exam shows normal stength throughout all 4 extremities. No obvious drift or weakness on my exam

SENSORY: nl LT

Assessment/Plan: 32 Y patient with giant left MCA aneurysm

1) discussed finding in detail

2) answered questions

3) based on size and location, 5yr risk of rupture is estimated at 40%

4) discussed that blood pressure and nicotine are the controllable risk factors. Avoid nicotine and keep blood pressure normal

5) discussed treatment options. Will need to approach this as a team, will discuss with my colleagues. Options are clipping/reconstruction with possible bypass or stent coiling

6) decadron 4mg q6, then taper in 1-2 day over 1 weeks time

7) will likely plan treatment on outpatient. obs in unit.

Neurosurgery

Patient feels better, less headache. No obvious weakness. Emotional

Exam:

Awake and alert

Fluent speech

CN EOMI PERRL FS TM

Strength MAE full, no obvious drift on my exam

Sensation intact LT

Assessment/Plan: s/p Procedure(s):

ANGIOGRAM

1) reviewed films with colleagues, Dr. AAA and Dr. ZZZ Looked at the surgical options in detail and discussed the risks and benefits in detail. Surgery has a high risk of lenticulostriate injury. Would likely require high flow bypass with proximal ligation. Unlikely to be able to reconstruct the MCA based on the size. The long term success might be slightly better than endovascular success, but this is uncertain. Surgery may prevent vaso-vasorum growth of vessel wall. Surgery would have higher up front risks. I discussed these concerns with the patient. In particular there would be risk of stroke and aphasia or right sided weakness. Our thoughts are that a pipeline/coil would not necessarily burn bridges for surgery

2) discussed case with Dr. AAA, discussed his concerns. He could treat this with stent coil , there is risk of continued growth and stroke. Long term treatment may not be successful and she may need further treatments

3) I discussed the pros and cons of both endovascular treatment and surgical treatment. The patient favors a stent coil after our discussion. She would rather have less up front risk and get home sooner. She is aware of potential continued growth.

4) I contacted Dr. AAA and let him know of her wishes.

5) answered all her questions.

6) NPO after MN

7) ok for NOU
