Assessment ApproachAirway
Breathing
Circulation
Drugs
Evaluation
Assess, secure Not a problem unless obtunded
Assess, assist
Not a problem unless obtunded

ACUTE EPIDURAL HEMATOMA • Note the biconvex
hyperdense area (arrows). The blood collection is between the skull and dura.
• It crosses dural attachments, but not sutures. The etiology is secondary to a lacerated meningeal artery or dural sinus.
• The Subdural windows may help to discern extra-axial collections such as blood in this case.
![Page 92: Case](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814dec550346895dbb5e4a/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
ACUTE SUBDURAL HEMATOMA WITH SUBFALCINE HERNIATION
• The arrow heads point to the presence of subfalcine herniation (midline shift). This is secondary to the mass effect caused by the moderate sized acute subdural hematoma (arrow) overlying the right fronto-temporal convexity.

RIGHT FRONTAL PETECHIAL HEMORRHAGIC CONTUSION
• Contusions may be hemorrhagic or nonhemorrhagic. They are part of the spectrum of cranio-cerebral trauma. Although there is no obvious mass effect, and there may not be neurologic deficits solely due to the presence of this particular lesion, there are usually areas of associated brain injury known as diffuse axonal injury (DAI) which may account for more severe neurologic deficits.
• An MRI will demonstrate more subtle anomalies which cannot be demonstrated on CT scan examination.

Multiple Sclerosis
• Dissemination of lesions in time and space• MacDonald Criteria• EDSS or Kurtze Scale• Prevalence 0.1%• Female:male = 3:2• 20 to 40 years old (peak age 28 years)

The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), or Kurtzke scale, gauges the extent of a person's disability by measuring the level of neurologic impairment. Following is a breakdown
of the EDSS:
• 0 – 1 No disability, minimal signs on one FS* (functional system)• 1 – 2 Minimal disability in 1 FS• 2 – 3 Moderate disability in 1 FS or mild disability in 3-4 FS, though fully
ambulatory• 3 – 4 Fully ambulatory without aid, up and about 12 hours/day, despite
relatively severe disability; able to walk without aid for 500 meters• 4 – 5 Ambulatory without aid for about 200 meters; disability impairs full
daily activities• 5 – 6 Intermittent or unilateral constant assistance required to walk 100
meters with or without resting• 6 – 7 Unable to walk beyond 5 meters even with aid, essentially restricted
to wheelchair, wheels self, transfers alone• 7 – 8 Essentially restricted to bed or chair or perambulated in wheelchair,
but may be out of bed much of day; retains self-care functions, generally effective use of arms
• 8 – 9 Helpless bed patient, can communicate and eat• 9 - 9.5 Unable to communicate effectively or eat/swallow• 10 Death due to multiple sclerosis

Key Features for the Diagnosis of MS
• Dissemination in time and space of lesions typical of MS
• Exclusion of other better explanations for the clinical features
![Page 105: Case](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814dec550346895dbb5e4a/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Lesions in Space
• Clinical evidence must be an objective sign
• MRI evidence should meet 3 out of 4 Barkhof criteria
(minimum of 2 to 9 lesions depending on use of gadolinium and location of lesions), or
2 lesions and abnormal CSF
![Page 106: Case](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110213/56814dec550346895dbb5e4a/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Lesions in TimeClinical attacks should be: • >24 hours duration and separated by > 30 days• Consistent with demyelination• Not a pseudoattack • Requires an objective finding
MRI attacks can be: • A new gadolinium enhancing lesion or • A new T2 lesion • Separated by > 3 months from clinical event

What is a Positive MRI (Barkhof Criteria)?
3 out of 4 of the following:• 9 T2 lesions or 1 Gad-enhancing lesion• 1 infratentorial lesion• 1 juxtacortical lesion• 3 periventricular lesion
Minimum lesions required 5 (2 if Gad used)

The Sleep Apnea Syndromes
• Apnea defined as cessation of airflow at the nostrils and mouth lasting ten seconds or more
• Obstructive secondary to sleep induced airway obstruction
• Central apnea due to decrease activity of muscles of respiration
• Mixed apnea from a combination of both
