ICH often give you enough time to have some clinical signs (headache, seizure, lateralizing signs) before dropping their LOC. Brainstorm infarcts, not so much. If you’re taking these guys to ct, stroke protocol them!

It looks like a pretty small PFO to be able to shunt that much of the cardiac output from the right to the left. If this was the case presumably the indications for PFO closure would be expanded outside cryptogenic stroke.

I’m still trying to learn, so I would be interested to hear if you agree or not.

In the right i Can see some fibrin attachement. Probably a loculated pleural effusion. It could be difficult to perform a chest tube in this situation because the needle Can go trough the lung parenchyma due to the fibrin attachement so i think it would be more safe to bring her aigain to the OR. Send a sample of pleural fluid to the lab, check for infection and malignancy, put a large spectrum antibiotics by waiting for the results. Thanks for the case.
