imaging (MRI) are exquisitely
sensitive to acute IPH
▶ Treatment and prevention of
recurrence are based on
etiology; there are no treatments
for IPH that are known
to improve outcome
SUBARACHNOID Hge
Sudden onset of excruciating
headache, sometimes accompanied
by focal neurologic symptoms and
signs or sudden coma
▶ May cause sudden death due to
massive brain injury, raised
intracranial pressure, or
malignant cardiac arrhythmia
▶ Diagnosis requires emergent
brain imaging with CT or
MRI; lumbar puncture (LP)
if imaging is negative

MS
Episodic or progressive multifocal
symptoms and signs
▶ Onset most often in otherwise
healthy young adults
▶ Abnormal findings on magnetic
resonance imaging
(MRI) of the brain (>95% of patients)

MYOPATHY
Weakness,generally greater
proximally than distally
▶ Normal sensation
(absent another cause for
sensory loss)
▶ Normal sphincter function
▶ Relative preservation of deep
tendon reflexes
▶ Laboratory testing supportive of
diagnosis and etiology
▶ Electromyography testing is
a key component of diagnosis
▶ Muscle biopsy and genetic testing
often definitive
