He was evaluated for TIA. His symptoms resolved. He was diagnosed with acute cerebrovascular accident to left side times two.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
On 5/10/13, prior to discharge, patient had staring episode, and Dr. Kevill was consulted to evaluate for possible seizure, and Dr. Kevill ordered a routine EEG, which Dr. Kevill described as abnormal, revealing periodic lateralized epileptiform discharged (PLEDs) at HZ seen over the left parietal and left posterior temporal region, consistent with the area of stroke as seen on neuroimaging. Dr. Kevill noted That PLEDs can be seen following a stroke and usually last one to 2 weeks, and significantly increase the risk of epileptic seizure. Patient was placed anti-epileptic drug Vimpat, 50 mg twice daily, to follow up with neurology as outpatient.
