57 M with CVA

57 M came to casualty with c/o generalised  weakness since 1 month ,fever since 1 week,altered sensorium since 3 days.

HOPI:

Since 1 month he has been complaining of generalised weakness. Since 15 days he has been feeling cold(even though it is summer) and has been switching off all the fans in the house. 

He has been suffering with constipation since 10 days. Has not passed stools at all(confirmed by the attender) He did not take any medication for it
He also complained of abdominal distension/bloating due to not passing stools.

Since 1 week he has fever insidious in onset gradually progressive, high grade. Associated with body pains.Not Associated with chills and rigor. Not relieved with medication.Not associated with nausea, vomiting, burning micturition, headache.

Since 3 days -he fell in the washroom two times(on 22/5/1023)and was not able to get up. When his family members found him, he had slurring of speech and altered sensorium.They took him to the Nalgonda government hospital.
There they gave him an enema and his constipation and bloating was relieved immediately.
They also treated him symptomatically. But he was still in altered sensorium and did not cover
They then shifted him to a private hospital as they had contacts there. There they did MRI and found that infarct in the cortical and subcortical regions of occiput.
but due to too expensive in that hospital so after tracheostomy in view of low GCS (24/05/23 morning) they came to our hospital. On the way in the ambulance, he was able to recognise his family. They brought him to the casualty .
Past history
In 2019 end of the year-  He has felt "weak" .  One fine day he fell down(due to low energy) while cycling and was immediately rushed to the hospital. They told him his cervical nerves got compressed and said he needed surgery. But due to family issues, he didn't get surgery then, and got it done after 2 months( cervical spondylosis surgery). He recovered after 6 months and started walking with support of a stick since then. The doctors then discovered he had problems in the lumbar region as well (4 years back) and needed surgery too, but didn't give consent for that surgery as they told him he would never be able to walk.
