In the last month, his wife states that her husband complained of episodic headaches that occasionally were associated with nausea. On examination, he was obtunded and moaning to painful stimulation. He had a left gaze preference, but localized equally with his arms and legs. The tone in his legs was increased with bilateral upgoing toes. His noncontrast head computed tomographic (CT) scan (Figure 13-1) performed in the ED revealed a left frontal lesion with mass effect and midline shift. He was admitted to the neurologic intensive care unit (NeuroICU, NICU) for further evaluation and management.
