Trying to find the term a doctor used for my sister that I think was some type of encephanalopathy - that may be the cause of her sudden symptoms of confusion, becoming extremely lothargic and incontinence he talked about swelling in the brain that affected these three area-
Hi, thanks for providing the brief history of your sister. For encephalopathy you are already under the physician and a neurologist will play an important role. Looking into the MRI scan may reveal the areas involved, and the medical treatment will be initiated based on the symptoms. Rest you need to discuss with your physician or neurologist that physical therapy is an option to try for reducing the lethargic symptoms, as by doing exercise the metabolism improves and helps boost the medical treatment to get positive outcome as well. Taking to confusion it is symptomatic and will subside. For incontinence issue the brain has to start regenerating the impulses back as to which the issues will come down. Bladder training can be done under a guided physical therapist. I have seen such cases and all responded well by coordinating the medical prescription and physical therapy. With the grace of god I wish your sister a speedy recovery.
