Details pretty scarce and i am not sure of the significance of a C-T Scan.
I would presume that the first thing that came to mind would have been a subarachnoid haemorrhage from an aneurysm of the blood vessel of the brain.

The next thing that comes to mind is an acute attack of migraine or neuralgia.
Vascular spasm is when a blood vessel suddenly "clamps up" and no blood passes through.

you've got it in one there, cos my words were slurred when I got to a and e he sent me for the ct scan straight after the sumowotsit jab, he told me I had a flicker in one eye. apparently it was better to get the scan quick than wait to see if the injection worked, cluster headache and vascular spasm he wrote down
