Abstract

Background: There was a noticeable amount of patient with epilepsy who were misdiagnosed at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Misdiagnosis of epileptic seizure will expose patients to inappropriate managements, and subsequently leads to complications. History taking is an important part for the diagnosis of epileptic seizure. This study aimed to see the improvement of diagnosis based on the adequacy and inadequacy of history taking attributed to misdiagnosis of epileptic seizure by the epilepsy consultant at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.Methods: This was a descriptive study using medical records of misdiagnosis of epilepsy. It was indicated by different initial (before epilepsy consultant’s confirmation) and final (after epilepsy consultant’s confirmation) seizure diagnosis at Epilepsy Outpatient Clinic at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital during the period of January 2007−October 2012.Results: There were 61 medical records with different initial and final seizure diagnosis. This study indicated inadequate history taking in 83.6% patients. Misdiagnosis occurred due to incomplete history taking, absence of reliable witnesses, and misinterpretation of history taking result. History taking by epilepsy consultant improved the misdiagnosis in 27.9% patients. While it is used simultaneously with Electroencephalography (EEG), the result increased to 72.2%.Conclusions: The adequate history taking improved the accuracy of epileptic seizure diagnosis. The simultaneous used of history taking and EEG increased the result. [AMJ.2016;3(2):304–9]DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n2.775

Abstract

Background: Focal epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy that can be caused by structural lesions. Images from neuroimaging can show those structural lesions that may point to the etiology of epilepsy and would affect the management of epilepsy. The aim of the study was to explore the possible etiology of symptomatic focal epilepsy from neuroimaging result at the Neurology Outpatient Clinic in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The medical records that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were collected at the Neurology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital from the year 2017. The inclusion criteria were symptomatic focal epilepsy patients that had abnormal neuroimaging result.Results: In total, there were 71 medical records collected of which eight etiologies of symptomatic focal epilepsy were found, that were vascular disorder caused by strokes (33%), tumors (21%), hippocampal sclerosis (20%), infections (11%), head trauma (6%), malformations of cortical development (4%), vascular malformations (3%), and phakomatosis (1%). Vascular disorder was the most abundant etiology found in all brain lobes, except in temporal and frontal lobes, which also most often caused by hippocampal sclerosis and tumors, respectively.Conclusions: Vascular disorders due to stroke, is the most abundant etiology found in symptomatic focal epilepsy, therefore, stroke patients need to be informed about the possibility of having epilepsy later on.

Abstract

Background: The low coverage of diagnosis and treatment in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Indonesia increases the risk of opportunistic infections that affects various organs, including the central nervous system (CNS). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of opportunistic infections in the CNS among hospitalized patients with HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, Indonesia.Methods: In this cross-sectional study with a total sampling method, data were collected from HIV/AIDS patients who were diagnosed with CNS opportunistic infection and hospitalized in the neurology ward during the period 2015–2019. Data were presented as median (interquartile range) and percentage frequency.Results: Among the 2,606 HIV/AIDS patients registered, 219 (8.4%) were accompanied by CNS opportunistic infections. The highest number was cerebral toxoplasmosis (58.9%; n=129) followed by tuberculous meningitis (33.3%; n=73) and cryptococcal meningitis (7.8%; n=17). Most of the patients admitted for unconsciousness (64.4%; n=141), with unknown HIV-infection status (61.2%; n=134). Among patients with positive HIV-infection status, only 50.6% (43/85) patients were taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) and 24.7% (21/85) patients dropped out ART before being diagnosed with CNS opportunistic infections. The CD4+’s median value was 21 cells/mm3 (IQR 9-61.25), with mortality during hospitalization was 36.5% (80/219). Conclusions: The prevalence of CNS opportunistic infections among HIV-infected patients is 8.4%, dominated by cerebral toxoplasmosis, and laboratory result showed very low CD4+ levels. The diagnosis of HIV infection is shortly made before hospitalization, and those who has been diagnosed have low compliance with ART. The mortality rate during hospitalization is high.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. One of the most common complications of TBM is hydrocephalus, with a higher risk of mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome among TBM patients with or without hydrocephalus.Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional comparative analytical study. A total sampling was employed based on the number of traceable resumes of TBM patients treated at the Department of Neurology Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia in 2018. Results: Of the 127 data of TBM patients, 55 (43.3%) had hydrocephalus, and 72 (56.7%) did not. The median age of TBM patients with and without hydrocephalus was 34 years (IQR 26–45) and 35 years (IQR 24–44), respectively. Decreased consciousness dominated the clinical symptoms for 94.5% in the hydrocephalus group and 84.7% in the non-hydrocephalus group. Hospital-acquired pneumonia occurred mainly in the hydrocephalus group (29.1%), whereas urinary tract infections mainly occurred in without hydrocephalus group (18%). There was a significant difference between the outcome of hydrocephalus and non-hydrocephalus (p=0.005). Mortality was higher in patients with hydrocephalus compared to those without hydrocephalus.Conclusions: The outcome of TBM patients with hydrocephalus is worse than those without hydrocephalus, as reflected by a higher grade of TBM, higher mortality rate, and lower good recovery upon treatment administration. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and treatment are needed to improve the outcome and survival among TBM patients with hydrocephalus.

Abstract

Background: There are high prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) that may worsen the patients’ outcomes. Pneumonia, as the significant infection complication in stroke patients, may aggravate the decline in the cognitive outcome of patients. This study aimed to explore the cognitive outcomes among patients with or without pneumonia among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective analytical comparative numeric study was conducted from September 2020 to February 2021, using secondary data of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Department of Neurology Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in the year 2019. A total sampling method was employed. Data on pneumonia in stroke patients was retrieved, consisting of patients with pneumonia and without pneumonia. Data on Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores as the measures of cognitive outcomes were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test.Results: There were 108 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage included. There was a statistically significant difference (p value 0.049) in MMSE scores with  median MMSE score for pneumonia patients (n = 27) and non-pneumonia patients (n = 81) were 25 and 21, respectively.Conclusions: Cognitive outcome is worse in patients with pneumonia than those without pneumonia. Early intervention is needed for intracerebral hemorrhage patients who develop pneumonia as a complication to improve the cognitive outcome.
