    Clinical Manifestations of Severe Untreated Hypothyroidism
    Bhutada, Abhishek S.; Kodankandath, Thomas V. (Cureus, 2022-07-05)
    Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis throughout the human body. Hypothyroidism is a result of insufficient circulating levels of thyroid hormone. In a hypothyroid state, not only do all metabolic processes tend to slow down but so do neurological processes. Here, we present an interesting case of a woman with a history of severe hypothyroidism that was untreated for the past 10 years.

    Delayed Presentation of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome in the Setting of Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors
    Bhutada, Abhishek S.; Kodankandath, Thomas V. (Cureus, 2022-02-21)
    Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a complex process that has been implicated in the setting of many chronic diseases (i.e., hypertension, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune diseases, infections, transplant treatments, etc.). The exact pathogenesis of PRES is still unclear; however, it has been suggested to involve endothelial injury leading to immune system activation and cytokine release. This case report examines an atypical presentation of PRES caused by serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).

    Subpial Hemorrhage in an Adult Male
    Bhatt, Shyam H.; Kodankandath, Thomas V. (Cureus, 2022-08)
    Subpial hemorrhage (SPH) is a rare entity that may often be overlooked in favor of more common intercranial bleeds, especially in adults. Our case demonstrates classical imaging findings seen in SPH in an adult male. SPH is poorly understood, with no identified clinical syndrome or symptomology, and further identification and classification of SPH are necessary to develop a more thorough understanding of its pathophysiology and potential treatment protocols.
