Initial information was processed along with the additional information received on 02-DEC-2021. The patient's height, and weight were not reported. The patient's past medical history included: diarrhea, decrease in appetite, sleep disturbance, weakness, and frequent falls, and concurrent conditions included: circulatory vertebral artery occlusion left, chronic kidney disease stage 2, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, pulmonary embolism, hypothyroidism, anxiety, depression, nervous peripheral neuropathy, restless legs syndrome, sciatica, back pain, and etoh abuse. The patient was previously treated with hydralazine for hypertension, nicardipine for hypertension; and experienced agitation when treated with codeine. The patient received Covid-19 vaccine ad26.cov2. s (suspension for injection, intramuscular, batch number: 1802068 and expiry: unknown) dose was not reported, 1 total administered on left arm on 18-MAR-2021 for an unspecified indication. Concomitant medications included fosfomycin for chronic kidney disease, amlodipine besilate and Lisinopril for hypertension, acetylsalicylic acid, atorvastatin, atorvastatin calcium, levothyroxine sodium, salbutamol, salbutamol sulfate for unknown indication.  On 10-NOV-2021, the patient fell while walking down the stairs to do laundry. She was referred to emergency room after being found down by her son. She was worked up for the fall with no acute findings on imaging. Her son states that after the fall patient had no facial bruising. She was noted to had an acute kidney injury (AKI) at that time and possible urinary tract infection (UTI) and was given a dose of fosfomycin. Since that fall she was doing fine. She had lot of pain because she was unable to get her usual injection (unspecified) for back pain with sciatica that she normally gets. She was found to be extremely hypertensive and was given hydralazine with no improvement and eventually was started on a nicardipine drip. The head computed tomography (CT) was done to rule out intracerebral brain hemorrhage (ICH) and Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) of head were done that ruled out ischemic stroke. CTA did show an occlusion of the left cervical vertebral artery of unknown chronicity. She was also found to have an acute kidney injury and be COVID positive. Her pulse oxygen was stable on room air. She was placed on NC due to encephalopathy, Encephalopathy unclear etiology and she had Continuous electroencephalogram (cEEG0 with presence of generalized periodic discharges with triphasic morphology was suggestive of an underlying encephalopathy which was nonspecific but typically seen in the setting of toxic or metabolic dysfunction. The Neck magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was negative for fracture. The COVID infection did not meet protocol for remdesivir and Decadron The hypertensive emergency was not well controlled. The cardine drip was stopped and started on oral blood pressure medications including Lisinopril Norvasc and Hydrochlorothiazide. On 12-NOV-2021, the patient tested positive for sars-cov (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus)-2 test and experienced confirmed clinical vaccination failure and covid-19, acute kidney injury, carotid arteriosclerosis, carotid artery stenosis, cerebral small vessel ischemic disease, cerebrovascular accident, congenital cerebrovascular anomaly, encephalopathy, facial bones fracture, hypertensive emergency, vertebral artery occlusion, angiogram cerebral abnormal, angiogram normal, arteriogram carotid abnormal, atelectasis, blood culture negative, central venous catheterization, cognitive disorder.
