An hour ago, the patient was cooking dinner when he suddenly experienced a diffuse, excruciating headache. The patient has no significant medical history and takes no medications. Temperature is 37.0°C (98.6°F), pulse is 106/min, and blood pressure is 155/95 mmHg. The patient appears uncomfortable and in pain, but physical examination is otherwise within normal limits. A non-contrast CT scan is obtained and is noncontributory.

On the 4th day of hospitalization, the patient suddenly experiences right hand weakness and difficulty speaking.
