Walking Thoughts

  What is the patient’s neurological exam? Does she have decreased mental status that requires an emergent intervention (e.g. external ventricular drain)?

• ■

  What other symptoms is she having? How long has the patient had symptoms? Have the symptoms changed recently?

• ■

  Is the outside hospital imaging or report available? What does it show?

• ■

  How severe is her hydrocephalus? What is the underlying cause of her hydrocephalus?

• ■

  Does the patient need surgery? If so, what is the timing of surgery?
