TY - JOUR T1 - A case of collapse JF - Clinical Medicine JO - Clin Med SP - 592 LP - 593 DO - 10.7861/clinmedicine.13-6-592 VL - 13 IS - 6 AU - Aravinthan Varatharaj AU - Fraser Gordon AU - Peter Williams Y1 - 2013/12/01 UR - http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/13/6/592.abstract N2 - We describe the case of a woman who presented with seemingly non-specific symptoms, including collapse, but through examination was eventually revealed to have an unusual, potentially fatal, but treatable neurological condition. We share some thoughts on the process of diagnosis, the difficulty of diagnosing a rare disease and the practice of neurology on the acute medical take. We also highlight the value of screening neurological examination in acute medical patients. ER -
