A 19-Year-Old Man with Loss of Vision

AbstractMorning Report is a time-honored tradition where physicians-in-training present cases to their colleagues and clinical experts to collaboratively examine an interesting patient presentation. The Morning Report section seeks to carry on this tradition by presenting a patient's chief concern and story, inviting the reader to develop a differential diagnosis and discover the diagnosis alongside the authors of the case. This report examines the story of a 19-year-old man who had bilateral vision loss, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Using questions, physical examination, and testing, an illness script for the presentation emerges. As the clinical course progresses, the differential is refined, a diagnosis is achieved, and a management plan is developed.

Abstract

AbstractMorning Report is a time-honored tradition where physicians-in-training present cases to their colleagues and clinical experts to collaboratively examine an interesting patient presentation. The Morning Report section seeks to carry on this tradition by presenting a patient's chief concern and story, inviting the reader to develop a differential diagnosis and discover the diagnosis alongside the authors of the case. This report examines the story of a 19-year-old man who had bilateral vision loss, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Using questions, physical examination, and testing, an illness script for the presentation emerges. As the clinical course progresses, the differential is refined, a diagnosis is achieved, and a management plan is developed.
