Hypertensive encephalopathy vs small lacunar infarct. Given her headache, altered mental status and elevated BP, she should have gotten a CT scan of her head...I would have done a CTA to rule out an aneurysm. If she continues having headaches I would take her to a different ER.
has the OP updated yet?

So far all the tests have come back fine. Arteries are clear, MRI shows no stroke. Neurologist is about 50-50 between a TIA and some kind of seizure. Having an echocardiogram and eeg to rule out anything they may have missed, if that comes back okay, they'll release her tomorrow. Said something about maybe starting her on Plavix but he hadn't decided yet. I guess she'll get referred for a full workup sometime soon.
Thankful she seems to be okay, but a little frustrating they haven't found a cause.
