A 36-year-old man with a history of headaches and fever over the past month presents to the emergency department with rapidly declining neurological status. This is DDx, a podcast from Figure 1 about how doctors think. Today’s case comes from Dr. Kathryn Ko, a neurosurgeon practicing in New York City. This case occurred more than a decade ago, but it’s one that Dr. Ko still remembers well. The patient arrived with close friends who said he’d been complaining for weeks of headaches and intermittent fever. Earlier that night he had become lethargic. By the time he presented to the emergency department, although his pupils were initially the same size, they rapidly changed so that the left side became slightly bigger and he became more and more lethargic. His eyes were open. He was following some very rudimentary commands, like thumbs up, but nothing more than that.
