| As the severity of EAH progresses, more serious signs and symptoms can develop as a result of worsening cerebral edema (brain swelling), including altered mental status (confusion, disorientation, and agitation), seizures, respiratory distress (pulmonary edema), obtundation, coma and death (7,23,25-27,33,34,36,43,45,46,48,53-56). In the case illustrated here, an intracranial complication from a frontal sinus mucocele with cerebral abscess was identified in a 45-year-old man who had complained of headaches, obtundation, and fever. Neonates who developed CSF abnormalities before first hospital discharge were excluded, as were persons with a physician-documented diagnosis of encephalitis, confusion, or obtundation. |
