a. MRI
b. NCCT
c. CSF examination
d. Liver function tests
Answer (c) CSF examination

Therefore the following logical conclusion can be:
ALTERED SENSORIUM due to Hepatic encephalopathy secondary to hepatotoxicity of ATT. Hence LFT should be performed.
ALTEREDED SENSORIUM due to Obstructive hydrocephalus could lead to raised ICT leading to pressure on midbrain and resultant status. Therefore a MRI scan can identify the process and necessitate a neurosurgical consult.
(Page 540 of OP GHAI 7th edition) ALTERED SENSORIUM due to end-arteritis resulting in brain infarction and hypo-dense lesions. Tubercular encephalopathy results in diffuse edema of brain simulating post-infective allergic encephalopathy, Necrotizing or hemorrhagic leuko-encephalopathy may occur in TB meningitis.. In choice NCCT is given and it can identify infarction as well cerebral Edema.
The que3stion mentions altered sensorium in the patient and if we see the table in (Fig 376-1 harry boy 17th edition Harrison) on altered sensorium, imaging should be performed. Lumbar puncture now can precipitate the ominous herniation of the brain.

thanks sir...
And answer for question 161..?
(c)
thanks for feeedback. answer is A . gait apraxia is a feature of frontal lobe damage. the frotnal lobe is supplied by ACA. this is actually even given in DAVIDSON as MAGNETIC GAIT-- the patient walks as if feet stuck to ground . TYPOGRPAHICAL ERROR OF AMPHO B
