This is a case study. Please answer the 7 questions below in bold letters.

LOCATION: Inpatient, Hospital

PATIENT: Mike Bahs

ATTENDING PHYSICIAN: Loren White, MD

CONSULTANT: Timothy Pleasant, MD

REASON FOR CONSULTATION: Rule out neck injury.

HISTORY: This patient is a 17-year-old male who was involved in a motor vehicle

accident last night. He remembers driving down the road and the next thing he

remembers was trying to reach for his cell phone at a stop sign after the accident. He

does not remember any of the details. The car apparently went off the road and hit a

tree. The patient is amnesiac for the event but does not believe he lost consciousness.

His vehicle was apparently traveling 35-40 miles an hour. There was no report that he

was ejected from the vehicle.

PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: He had childhood asthma.

MEDICATIONS: None.

ALLERGIES: None.

FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory to the present problem.

SOCIAL HISTORY: He chews tobacco. Alcohol use is rare.

EXAMINATION: Vital signs show he is afebrile. Pulse 64. Blood pressure 110/50.

Neurologic: He is awake, alert, and fully oriented. His cranial nerves are grossly intact.

HEENT: His extraocular movements are full. His eyes are conjugate. His pupils are

equal. His facial strength is intact. On motor examination, he has grossly normal motor

strength bilaterally in the upper and lower extremities. His reflexes are normal and

symmetric at the biceps, triceps, and brachioradialis. The ankle jerks and the knee jerks

are normal and symmetric. Gait is not tested. Sensory examination is grossly intact to

light touch. Spine examination: The patient’s cervical collar was removed. He has no

tenderness to palpation of the cervical spine whatsoever.

The x-rays of the cervical spine, as well as the CT scan of the cervical spine, were

reviewed. No fractures or subluxations are noted. CT scan of the head was reviewed,

and it is negative for any intracranial pathology.

IMPRESSION/PLAN: In summary, we have a 17-year-old male involved in a motor

vehicle accident. He has a mild concussive head injury, as evidenced by his amnesia,

and I believe he did lose consciousness for a brief period; however, the exact amount of

time for his loss of consciousness is unknown. There is no evidence of any cervical

spine injury. The patient is neurologically normal. He does not need to wear a cervical

collar. I explained to him and his mother, Gloria, that if the patient develops any

weakness, numbness, or tingling in the arms or legs, trouble with his balance,

sleepiness, vomiting, weakness of one side of the body, or any other symptoms, they

should call their physician immediately.

I want to thank Dr. White for asking me to see this patient.
