Neil Wartson (Part 2) MF4 Neuro
Activity
Tutorial
Neil Wartson is brought back to his family doctor 6 months later. The MRI has still not been performed, but the audiology testing confirmed severe sensorineural hearing loss on the right. Upon entering the office, Neil’s mother is very upset and agitated. Over the last month, she has noticed that Neil has become clumsier and is falling frequently. He also has started to rub his eye a lot and complains that things are “fuzzy”. She also reports that, since the last visit, Neil’s father has been investigated for his hearing loss. He is currently being worked up for Neurofibromatosis Type II. Neil’s mother has looked this up on the internet and is convinced that Neil has this as well.
