Left-sided weakness, upper and lower extremity, started today around 5 PM.  By the time she had arrived to the emergency department, symptoms have nearly resolved.  Denies numbness, paresthesias, visual changes, headache.   CT angiography was obtained demonstrating diffuse plaque, moderate at its maximum severity, but no large vessel obstruction or large volume stenosis.  Patient has no known history of atrial fibrillation.   Systolic blood pressure is markedly elevated in the 190-208 range, mild sinus tachycardia.  On my physical examination at this time, if there is any residual left-sided weakness, it is negligible.  Cranial nerves are intact.  Patient is alert oriented and cooperative.    No history of stroke, heart attack, peripheral arterial disease.  White blood cell count normal, mild normocytic anemia, coags are good.  Mild hyperglycemia.   Head CT shows no acute abnormality.   Blood pressure markedly elevated, ischemia with reactive hypertension.   Additionally with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis although this does not appear to be consistent with an acute flare.  Review of Systems     Review of systems negative except as noted above.

Sensation appears to be symmetric and intact.  Cranial nerves appear to be intact.  No abnormal cerebellar findings on examination.  No pronator drift present.. Psychiatric:  Cooperative, appropriate mood and affect    Assessment/Plan       1. Acute stroke due to ischemia   I63.9   No large vessel occlusion and outside any window for treatment, particularly with markedly improving and nearly resolved neurologic deficits.  Would consider this a high risk TIA, permissive hypertension, dual antiplatelet therapy, high-dose statin.  We will check A1c, lipid panel, obtain transthoracic echocardiogram.  Telemetry.  Nursing dysphagia screening, PT and OT to assess tomorrow.   2. Blood pressure elevated without history of HTN   R03.0   Permissive hypertension, will not treat unless systolic blood pressure greater than 210.   3. B12 deficiency   E53.8   Check levels   4. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)   K21.9   PPI   5. Prediabetes   R73.03   Check an A1c   6.

Coarse calcified plaques cause a roughly 50-60 percent diameterstenosis of the proximal right ICA by criteria year.2. No definite evidence of significant focal stenosis or occlusion involving the rest of the cervical carotid or vertebral arteries.CTA head:1. Patchy calcified plaques cause variable narrowing along thevisualized portions of both internal carotid arteries, with up tomoderate stenosis of the left ophthalmic ICA segment.2. No definite evidence of significant focal stenosis  or  occlusionsaccular  involving the rest of the major intracranial arterialvasculature.-Thank you for consulting our team of subspecialty radiologists at Radiology.
