MRI WAS DONE WHICH SHOWED CAPSULOGANGLIONIC HAEMORRHAGE
Course in hospital:The patient was admitted in our ICU with high grade fever spikes and severe leucocytosis suggestive of sepsis along with a mass lesion and hematoma and she was empirically managed with iv antibiotics and her fever spikes and leucocytosis recovered. Her coma took a few more days to recover spontaneously and she was finally able to mobilize herself with persistent neurological deficits since last few days. She still has mutism due to an affection of the Broca's area (insert into the diagnosis) and possible other cognitive deficits yet to be ascertained.
Psychiatry referral was done in view of cognitive function and higher mental functions
