Mild TBIs are commonly managed by primary care providers (PCPs), particularly in large, resource-limited settings such as Malaysia, where access to tertiary neurosurgical services may be delayed. Early identification of red-flag signs and symptoms and timely referrals are crucial to prevent clinical deterioration. We describe the case of a 66-year-old man who sustained mild head injury following a vasovagal syncope. His initial brain CT revealed evidence of a small traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage over the left precentral sulcus, with resolution on an interval scan 24 hours later. He was discharged home without follow-up. Eleven weeks later, he developed bilateral lower-limb weakness and unsteady gait, which prompted an urgent referral by his general practitioner. Repeat CT revealed bilateral acute-on-chronic subdural haematomas, with mass effect requiring emergency burr-hole drainage. The patient showed excellent post-operative improvement and was discharged home on day 4, with no clinical or radiological recurrence on subsequent follow-up. This case highlights the risk of delayed cSDH in patients following mild TBI, even in those discharged with a normal CT scan. PCPs play a pivotal role in recognising high-risk patients, ensuring structured follow-up and facilitating timely specialist referral. We advocate for updating the Malaysian head injury guidelines to incorporate routine follow-up protocols for at-risk patients, modelled after international standards.</p>","PeriodicalId":40017,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Family Physician","volume":"20 ","pages":"45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12334315/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144817845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While normal vaginal discharge helps maintain vaginal health, changes in its composition can signal underlying conditions requiring prompt assessment and treatment.

Common infections like bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and trichomoniasis are frequently encountered, with studies estimating that up to 75% of women will experience vulvovaginal candidiasis at least once in their lifetime. Non-infectious causes, such as foreign bodies, vaginal atrophy, and cervical or endometrial anomalies, also contribute but are less commonly addressed. Despite its prevalence, diagnosing recurrent vaginal discharge can be challenging, requiring a thorough approach.
