Like to present a case seen in 2017. We were not aware of the entity then. 17F, 15D vomiting, headache. No deficit. Evaluated at institute. Extensive blood/CSF/tropical diseases workup -ve. CSF: P81, G57, cell 30 (all L). IVMPS x 5gm. Discharged with Dx of ADEM. 1st CEMR. (1/8)
8D later readmitted there w/ headache x 3D w/ mild rt ptosis. Again IVMPS x 3gm. Better. Again recurrence of headaches. Both times followup oral steroids not given. Came to us.
2nd CEMR. Similar findings. Slight increase in lesion burden. (2/8)
2nd case of this season. Found in bathroom in unconscious/confusional state. Small bathroom. To start w/ dizzy/headaches & attempt to open door but canβt. Inappropriate ventilation. Prolonged bathroom utilisation. Gas geyser fitted inside.
Same story every year this time around.
Mostly wrongly diagnosed as seizure episode. My 1st case a decade ago & was pointed out by a GP: GAS GEYSER SYNDROME. Mostly the pt is found naked, females & Sikhs more likely because of long hair wash. Takes more time than usual seizure; prolonged confusional state. #MedTwitter
