What could be the cause of sudden behavioral changes?
Patient: My mum had a stoke about two years ago but got better there was some issues with her left hand but everything else was good this week her hands turned blue the next day she was talking and saying things that did not make any sense and now I have been told she has a shadow on the right side of the brain and her oxygen is low. She also got violent today in the hospital. Visitor told me she was talking about her childhood today Doctor: If stroke occur in specifically frontal lobe, there can be immediate behavioral changes. Also similar symptoms can be due to involvement of speech area (broca's & wernicke's area of brain).Few patients also get secondary depression after stroke.I advice you to consult the neurologist.
