An 11-year-old boy is seen in the accident and emergency department (ED) by an SHO. He reported waking up for the last two days and noticed that he wasn’t blinking as well with the left eye as he was with the right eye. He also felt that he had what he described as a “lisp” and that his words didn’t sound quite right. Mum also noticed a slanting to his smile.

This should be taught extensively in ED SHOs and Trainees to avoid unnessary CT scans that are still happening. Informative.
