Patients with hypertension and altered neurologic status represent difficult diagnostic problems. If these patients are presumed to have hypertensive encephalopathy, specific diagnostic procedures and therapy may be delayed. Our case report and discussion emphasize the difficulty of differentiating hypertensive encephalopathy from other conditions and illustrate hypertensive encephalopathy should not be a primary diagnosis, but only a diagnosis of exclusion.
患有高血压且神经状态改变的患者存在诊断难题。如果这些患者被假定患有高血压脑病，特定的诊断程序和治疗可能会延迟。我们的病例报告及讨论强调了区分高血压脑病与其他病症的困难，并表明高血压脑病不应作为首要诊断，而仅是一种排除性诊断。
