Overview Illustration by Ava Yap Snapshot A 35-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with left eye vision loss and headache. She was in her usual state of health until 3 hours prior to presentation, when she developed vision loss and eye pain that worsened with eye movement. She reports that approximately 8 months ago she had left arm numbness that self resolved. On physical exam, her visual acuity is 20/185, and a sluggish response to light on the left eye with the swinging flash-light test is noted. (Optic neuritis likely secondary to multiple sclerosis.)

The child’s immediate post-operative period was uneventful. However, the mother reports that the child has had trouble speaking since the operation. His words appear more slurred than before. The child’s pain has been well controlled with acetaminophen. The child was born at 34 weeks’ gestation and stayed one day in the neonatal intensive care unit for prematurity prior to being discharged without any abnormal findings. On examination, the incision is clean, dry, non-erythematous, and shows signs of healing. The child is asked to stick out his tongue and findings are shown in Figure A.

Bystanders reported to the police that they had seen the man as he exited a local bar, and he was subsequently assaulted. He sustained severe facial trauma, including multiple lacerations and facial bone fractures. The man is taken to the operating room by the ENT team, who attempt to reconstruct his facial bones with multiple plates and screws. Several days later, he complains of the inability to open his mouth wide or to completely chew his food, both of which he seemed able to do prior to surgery.
