| Popis: | A 68-year-old Caucasian male presented to emergency with a spontaneous sudden onset headache localized behind the left eye. Pain was severe and associated with vomiting, agitation, anxiety, memory loss, and word-finding difficulty. There was no preceding trauma and no meningeal symptoms. Further history was significant for mitral valve repair, atrial fibrillation treated with coumadin, colorectal cancer treated with right-sided hemicolectomy 17 years prior, and multiple skin tumors, which included squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas of his face and ears. Family history was significant for colon cancer in his father (at age 50), a sister (at age 40), and a niece (at age 38), as well as primary brain cancer in his paternal aunt. |
