Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Christy O'Fallon discusses neurotoxicology and metabolic syndromes in patients with acute encephalopathy. She emphasizes the importance of the clinical approach to these patients and highlights common manifestations and physical exam findings. O'Fallon discusses different metabolic abnormalities such as sodium imbalances, hepatic failure, Wilson's disease, and hepatic porphyrias. She also covers acute toxidromes and their typical signs and symptoms, including cholinergics, anticholinergics, sedative hypnotics, sympathomimetics, opioid overdose, and neuroleptic toxicity. O'Fallon concludes by emphasizing the need for a broad differential diagnosis and considering metabolic derangements or intoxication when symptoms are not correlated with imaging or lab findings.
