Intracerebral Haemorrhage Score
The Intracerebral Haemorrhage (ICH) Score is a prognostic scoring system for predicting mortality among patients with spontaneous ICH.
The Intracerebral Haemorrhage (ICH) Score is a prognostic scoring system for predicting mortality among patients with spontaneous ICH.
Cerebral haemorrhage is a severe form of stroke with high mortality. Timely imaging, diagnosis, reversal of anticoagulation, and specialist referral are critical.
Post-obstructive diuresis is a polyuric state in which large amounts of sodium and water are eliminated after the relief of a urinary tract obstruction.
Endovascular clot retrieval is a specialised, time-critical treatment for large vessel stroke, offering substantial recovery benefits when performed within 6–24 hour
IV thrombolysis for stroke improves outcomes when given within 9 hours. Requires rapid imaging, specialist input, and strict eligibility criteria
Lateral medullary (Wallenberg) syndrome is a rare brainstem stroke due to vertebral or PICA occlusion, presenting with vertigo, dysphagia, and cranial nerve signs.
Basilar artery stroke is a severe posterior circulation infarction. Early recognition and timely thrombolysis or clot retrieval are key to improving outcomes.
Posterior circulation stroke: challenging diagnosis with subtle signs. Includes classification, investigation, thrombolysis, and management of basilar infarction.
Summary of OCSP classification of cerebral infarction: clinical patterns, vascular territory, prognosis, and reference CT findings for each subtype.
Guide to anterior circulation stroke: classification, clinical features, imaging, and acute management including thrombolysis and clot retrieval
Pyelonephritis is a common presentation to the Emergency Department. The most important consideration is renal tract imaging to rule out an obstructive cause, which can rapidly lead to severe sepsis.
Tibial nerve lesions cause plantarflexion weakness, sensory loss in the sole, and can result from trauma, compartment syndrome, or systemic neuropathy
