AB  - Oncology patient with Ommaya reservoir shows documentation of “sleeping” for past 5 hours and
“snoring”. Further examination finds dilated pupils, unresponsiveness, and upon pulling back the
bed covers reveals decerebrate rigidity. Diagnosis was increased intracranial pressure. Immediate
intervention was accessing the Ommaya resulting in the patient becoming awakened and alert.
