Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___
Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F
Service: MEDICINE
Allergies:
Zosyn / Percocet / amiodarone
Attending: ___.
Chief Complaint:
shortness of breath, hypoxia
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None.
History of Present Illness:
___ year-old female with HFpEF in the setting of atrial
fibrillation on apixaban, numerous valve diseases including 4+TR
and 2+MR, multi vessel CAD s/p DES to RCA, mod pulmHTN with
significant PR, tachy-brady syndrome s/p PPM, breast cancer s/p
left lumpectomy, and known left sided pleural effusion (from
last
hospitalization ___, never sampled) who presents from her
outpatient interventional pulmonary clinic due to shortness of
breath and hypoxia.
At her outpatient f/u for the left-sided pleural effusion, she
complained of dizziness and shortness of breath and was found to
be hypoxic (O2 sat 87%) on RA. Small pocket of fluid was seen on
CXR and US but her pulmonologist did not think thoracentesis
today would improve her breathing status and was also concerned
about her bleeding risk given anticoagulation. She was sent to
the ED on 2L NC given concern for acute CHF exacerbation with
recommendation to f/u with IP after holding anticoagulation.
She was recently hospitalized for diastolic congestive heart
failure exacerbation (___) upon presenting with
worsening dyspnea and weight gain. During her stay, she was
diuresed to a dry discharge weight of 58.3kg (128.53 lbs). While
she requires no O2 at home, she developed oxygen requirement of
4L during her hospitalization and was found to have left pleural
effusion for which IP recommended outpatient follow up for
re-evaluation. Her respiratory status gradually improved with
diuresis and standing ipratropium neutralizers and she was
discharged with O2 sat 89-94% on RA. She reportedly was able to
ambulate without oxygen requirement.
Upon arrival to the triage, there was an initial concern for
bradycardia but it was ultimately deemed related to a errored
measurement from the pulse ox, but since the vital sign was
documented the ED reflexively consulted EP though no concern for
bradycardia.
Patient reports she called ___ last night due to an acute onset
of intolerable sharp pain on the left side of her front chest
wall while lying in bed. She has had similar pain in the past
since last year but was told it was "not her heart" and was
muscular in nature. She thinks her pain is usually mild and
lasts
___ hours but yesterday it was unusually sharp, severe, and
lasted longer. She did not have any palpitations, diaphoresis,
or
clear dyspnea with the pain. When the ambulance came, her VS
were
checked and she was told she could decide to go to the ER or
stay
home. She decided to stay home and took Tylenol with some pain
relief. She no longer has the pain now.
In general, she feels that she has been feeling more fatigued
and
tired for the past few days. Her breathing has been similar to
when she was discharged but it has been harder for her to get
out
of bed. She denies any fevers, chills, coughs, abdominal pain,
n/v/d, or dysuria. She sleeps with two pillows but denies
feeling
short of breath while sleeping or waking up gasping for breath.
She has few dry coughs in the morning when she gets up from bed.
She is very adherent to her medication regimen and a nurse and
physical therapist help her with checking vitals and weight. She
states that yesterday her nurse and ___ were concerned about her
low heart rate and oxygen level (O2 sat 86-87% RA). She reports
her O2 sat is usually 89-91% on room air. Her weight has been
steady around 127lbs +/- half a pound since discharge and she
thinks she has slight leg swelling. She has a personal chef who
comes to her place to prepare low salt meals. She walks around
her house with a rollator due to unsteadiness but she has not
gone outside much since ___ this year when she had her
pneumonia. She feels her fatigue and generalized weakness all
began since then.
In the ED, initial VS were: T97.8 HR36 BP149/108 RR20 O2sat 100%
4L NC

2+MR, multi vessel CAD s/p DES to RCA, mod pulmHTN with
significant PR, tachy-brady syndrome s/p PPM, breast cancer s/p
left lumpectomy, and known left sided pleural effusion (from
last hospitalization ___, never sampled) who presented with
generalized fatigue/tiredness and worsening hypoxia.
# Hypoxia
# L sided pleural effusion
Patient has known L pleural effusion which developed during her
last hospitalization in ___. No intervention was made at the
time and she was to follow up with IP for re-evaluation outpt on
___. At ___ clinic on ___ pt found to be hypoxic with O2 sat of
86% in room air. She was sent to the ED. Patient reported on
admission her baseline O2 sat has been 89-91% on RA at home
since her last discharge. CXR showed her left-sided pleural
effusion is unchanged from prior but the opacities within the
mid to lower right lung were more pronounced suggesting possible
aspiration/infection. While she may have had some aspiration,
she was afebrile, has no cough, no fever, chills, etc. Did not
appear volume overloaded on physical exam and was stable at her
discharge weight. IP evaluated her lungs with ultrasound and
reported that there is a very small pocket of fluid if anything,
and that thoracentesis would be more risk than benefit in this
pt. CT chest on ___ showed a partially loculated left pleural
effusion and significant atelectasis, which is likely
contributing to her hypoxia. ___ reviewed this CT and again did
not feel that the effusion would drain easily and would probably
not improve her oxygenation much. Pt and son agreed that she
would likely not want a more invasive procedure (i.e. thoracic
surgery consultation), especially since the benefit would likely
not outweigh the risk. On ___ ambulatory oxygen saturations were
obtained and the patient was found to be hypoxic to 87% on room
air, thus she will qualify for home oxygen. She will be
discharged with home oxygen and follow-up with her primary care
physician.
# Chest wall pain
On admission pt reported having severe sharp pain across her
left anterior chest, then on R on day 2 of hospitalization. Has
had in past and was told it is musculoskeletal. This pain was
reproducible by palpation on physical exam and was intermittent
throughout her hospitalization. This was treated with Tylenol,
Lidoderm patch, and lidocaine jelly as needed.
# ___
Recently hospitalized on CHF service for acute diastolic HF
exacerbation requiring 40-160mg IV Lasix and IV Diuril boluses.
ECHO during previous admission showed LVEF >55% with less
vigorous RV free wall motion and mild aortic valve stenosis. CXR
on admission showed no signs of pulmonary edema. Currently, she
does not appear volume overloaded (stable weight since
discharge, no ___ edema, JVP elevated but in the setting of 4+
TR) and thus will continue home diuretic without additional IV
diuresis. We feel that her hypoxia is unlikely to be from acute
HF exacerbation. Of note, on ___ evening, we did give her an
additional dose of diuresis with 140mg IV lasix, given her acute
desaturation episode, and she improved afterwards, but do not
think improvement was from the lasix as she did not have drastic
output (and we think the O2 tubing was loosely connected to the
wall during this episode). She was maintained on and will be
discharged on her home heart failure regimen (torsemide 60 twice
a day, verapamil 160 every 8 hours). Her weight on day of
discharge is 126 pounds.
# Atrial fibrillation
# Tachy-bradycardia syndrome
Patient has known history of afib on apixaban and
tachy-bradycardia syndrome s/p ___ dual chamber pacemaker.
Pacemaker was interrogated in ED due to concern for bradycardia
and was found to be working properly. EKG showed afib. While she
has no history of stroke, her CHADSVASC score is 5 and thus she
was started on a heparin bridge for possible ___. AC
(apixaban) was held on ___ in case of procedure, restarted ___
evening when decision for no procedure was made.
# ___ on CKD
Baseline Cr 1.1. On last admission for CHF, Cr fluctuated from
1.2-1.7. On BID torsemide, likely bumped in the setting of
diuresis; improved to 1.2 on ___. Cr 1.1 on day of discharge.

Imaging (all studies performed on ___
CXR PA/LAT
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained.
Prominence of the right mediastinal contour is again seen,
previously attributed to a tortuous ascending aorta, and again
accentuated by rightward patient rotation. The heart size is
normal, exaggerated by low lung volumes. No focal consolidation
is seen. Rectangular opacity over the anterior right second rib
is similar to multiple prior exams. No pleural effusion or
pneumothorax is seen. The osseous structures are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process.
C-Spine:
FINDINGS: There is no evidence of fracture or acute alignment
abnormality. The anterior alignment of C7-T1 is not imaged on
this examination, but the posterior alignment is normal. No
prevertebral soft tissue abnormalities are seen. There are
multilevel multifactorial mild-to-moderate degenerative changes
of the cervical spine. A disc bulge at C3-4 indents the thecal
sac. At C5-6, a small posterior osteophyte and moderate facet
arthropathy are noted. There is nuchal ligament ossification.
A large left thyroid nodule containing calcifications is again
seen, similar to ___ thyroid ultrasound. No lymphadenopathy is
present by CT criteria.
IMPRESSION:
1. No fracture, acute alignment abnormality, or prevertebral
soft tissue
abnormality.
2. Mild-to-moderate cervical spine degenerative changes with
C3-4 disc bulge.
3. Large left thyroid nodule containing calcifications, similar
to ___
thyroid ultrasound.
CT HEAD:
FINDINGS: There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass
effect,
edema, or large territorial infarction. Ventricles and sulci
are prominent, compatible with age-related involutional changes
or atrophy. Extensive periventricular white matter
hypodensities are consistent with small vessel chronic ischemic
disease, similar to ___. Small lacunes are seen in
the bilateral basal ganglia. The basal cisterns appear patent
and there is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation.
No fracture is identified. A large right maxillary sinus mucous
retention cyst is again seen. Slight mucosal thickening of the
left maxillary sinus is present. The visualized paranasal
sinuses are otherwise clear. The mastoid air cells and middle
ear cavities are clear. The globes are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No intracranial hemorrhage or fracture.
2. Extensive white matter hypodensities compatible with chronic
small vessel ischemic disease, similar to ___.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with fall and head strike.
COMPARISONS: Multiple prior chest radiographs, most recently of ___.
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained. Prominence
of the right mediastinal contour is again seen, previously attributed to a
tortuous ascending aorta, and again accentuated by rightward patient rotation.
The heart size is normal, exaggerated by low lung volumes. No focal
consolidation is seen. Rectangular opacity over the anterior right second rib
is similar to multiple prior exams. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is
seen. The osseous structures are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with fall and head strike. Evaluate for
fracture or intracranial hemorrhage.
COMPARISON: Head NECT of ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain
without administration of IV contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and thin slice bone
images were reviewed.
FINDINGS: There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect,
edema, or large territorial infarction. Ventricles and sulci are prominent,
compatible with age-related involutional changes or atrophy. Extensive
periventricular white matter hypodensities are consistent with small vessel
chronic ischemic disease, similar to ___. Small lacunes are seen
in the bilateral basal ganglia. The basal cisterns appear patent and there is
preservation of gray-white matter differentiation.
No fracture is identified. A large right maxillary sinus mucous retention
cyst is again seen. Slight mucosal thickening of the left maxillary sinus is
present. The visualized paranasal sinuses are otherwise clear. The mastoid
air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. The globes are unremarkable.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: INJ/ASP INTERMED JT W/FLUORO
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with ___ MTP arthritis// please perform ___
guided arthrocentesis to LEFT ___ MTP to r/o septic joint
TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives were explained to the
patient and written informed consent obtained.
A pre-procedure timeout confirmed three patient identifiers.
Under fluoroscopic guidance, an appropriate spot was marked. The area was
prepared and draped in standard sterile fashion.
1.5 cc 1% Lidocaine was used to achieve local anesthesia. Under intermittent
guidance, a 19 gauge spinal needle was advanced into the lateral aspect of the
left great toe MTP joint. This approach was chosen instead of a medial
approach as the medial aspect of the joint has significant osseous prominence
and apparent degraded skin.
Immediate aspiration yielded no fluid. A small amount of iodinated contrast
was injected confirming intra-articular placement of the needle. Then 3 cc of
sterile preservative-free saline was drawn up into a syringe, 2 cc was
injected into the joint and the same amount was aspirated back into the same
syringe. This was equally divided and sent for culture and cell count.
The needle was removed, hemostasis achieved, and a sterile bandage applied.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and left the department in stable
condition. There were no immediate complications.
COMPARISON: ___ left foot radiographs
FINDINGS:
Limited fluoroscopic images demonstrate mild degenerative changes at the great
toe MTP joint and hallux valgus, better seen on the preceding radiograph, and
confirmed intra-articular placement of the needle.

ACUTE ISSUES
========================
#Costochondritis
#Chest pain
#Palpitations. Cardiac etiology of chest pain unlikely given
negative trops, no EKG changes and negative stress test. Does
not appear exertional. Pain reproducible with palpation. No
events on telemetry. Treated with naproxen 500mg BID with
improvement in pain.
#Headache
#Right face numbness. History of migraine headaches though has
had daily headaches over the past ___ weeks associated with
sensitivity to light and sound. Also complained of right-sided
face numbness that may be associated with migraines. Head CT
without acute abnormalities. To follow-up at outpatient ___
headache clinic for consideration of trigger point injections
due to headaches possibly related to MSK pain.
___ MTP Pain. History of septic arthritis of ___ MTP in ___
s/p antibiotics and debridement. Has been followed with
orthopedics since given ongoing pain in the left toe with
evidence of hallux deformity of the toe as well as arthritis.
Had ___ arthrocentesis to r/o septic arthritis in ED per ortho
recs though exam without evidence of inflammation or erythema
concerning for an active infection. No generalized evidence of
infection though ESR 35, CRP 23.8 on ___ at ___.
Given stability of exam compared to priors, pain most consistent
with arthritis of the joint. Cell counts and cultures negative
for infection.
#Pre-syncope
#Orthostatic hypotension. Symptoms most consistent with
orthostatic hypotension iso symptom onset with standing and
resolved spontaneously. Has had poor PO intake over the past
week as well. No vertigo and non-focal neuro exam. Orthostatic
vitals positive initially that resolved after fluid
administration.
#Dyspnea
#Asthma. No apparent infectious etiology without fever,
leukocytosis, or evidence of infection on CXR though with poor
penetration given body habitus. No hypoxia, tachycardia or
changes on EKG concerning for PE with negative ___ Doppler and
Well's score of 0. Pro-BNP of 25 making CHF unlikely. Last PFT
in ___ without obstructive defect though with mild component of
airway hyperactivity. Continued on home fluticasone-Salmeterol
and given albuterol PRN. Shortness of breath improved at the
time of discharge.
#Hypoglycemia
#DM type 2
#Generalized malaise. Last HgbA1C 7.1%. Notes intermittent
episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia to 60's throughout the day
while only on Metformin. Given only on Metformin would not
except medication induced hypoglycemia and may be related to
poor PO intake. No hypoglycemia noted in house. Metformin held
while in-house and at discharge to be restarted by PCP.
#Anemia
#Gastritis/GERD. Iron studies consistent with iron deficiency
anemia. Focal erythema in fundus on EGD in ___. No evidence
of melena or hematochezia. Started on lasoprazole outpatient
30mg BID by GI doctor. Last colonoscopy in ___ with polyp in
the rectum, diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon, and grade 2
internal hemorrhoids. Received IV ferric gluconate 125mg. |

by hypotension and afib with ___ transferred to ___ for
ongoing management with hospital course complicated by
hypotension, ___, and partial SBO.
# Abdominal Pain: patient presented with several days of
nausea/vomiting and increasing abdominal pain. OSH CT concerning
SBO. Given concern for need for surgical intervention, she was
transferred to ___. ACS was consulted on transfer, who felt CT
was not consistent with complete SBO or other acute surgical
pathology. Her abdominal exam was notable for mild distension,
LLQ TTP, no rebound/guarding. Stool studies and c diff were sent
and are negative so far. She was started on empiric antibiotics
but these were discontinued. She received IVF and was kept NPO.
Following transfer, her abdominal pain started to improved. She
had resumption of her ostomy output along with gas. She was
trialed on and tolerated a clear diet, which was advanced to
softs.
# Leukocytosis: patient presented to OSH with hypotension,
tachycardia, and leukocytosis concerning for sepsis. Exam
consistent with volume depletion. She received IVF with
improvement in her BPs. Her lactate was trended and downtrended
with IVF resuscitation. Etiology was felt to be viral. She was
started on empiric ceftaz, flagyl. She was pan-cultured. Culture
data notable for multi-organism urine culture, consistent with
colonization. Urology was contacted, who felt there was no need
to change her suprapubic catheter. She was narrowed to
cipro/flagyl but these were discontinued as no evidence of
bacterial infection was found and patients symptoms were
attributed to hypovolemia in setting of partial SBO.
# ___: on admission, patient with noted to have ___ with Cr 2.8;
she received IVF resuscitation with subsequent downtrend
consistent with pre-renal ___. Her Cr was trended and
nephrotoxic medications were avoided. She maintained good UOP
via suprapubic catheter.
# AFib with RVR: patient with chronic atrial fibrillation, rate
controlled at home on diltiazem and metoprolol. On presentation
to OSH, patient was noted to be in atrial fibrillation with RVR;
she received additional diltiazem and IVF with improvement in
rate control. She was restarted on home medications after
improvement in hypotension and initiation of antibiotics. Of
note, patient has refused anticoagulation and re-stated this
during her admission.
# ___: ECG on admission concerning for ST depressions, likely
type II in setting of demand. Trops were trended and were flat.
She remained chest pain free. The plan was to initiate a heparin
gtt, however patient refused. She was continued on medical
management with metoprolol and statin.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Mr. ___ is a ___ yo man with a history of ESRD ___ T1DM /p
LRRT (___), ___ (___) with subsequent failure and explantation
in ___, and severe PVD, transferred for ___, oliguria, and
nausea. He had initially presented to OSH ED with a ___ week
history of nausea and poor po intake. His symptoms improved with
IV zofran and he was discharged from the ED. At home, he noted
decreased urine output and so re-presented to OSH ED, where he
was noted to have creatinine 2.3 from baseline 1.5-1.7. He was
transferred to ___ given ___ and his history of renal
transplant.
___ on CKD: Patient with history of ESRD secondary to DM-I,
with LRRT (___), on prednisone & tacrolimus. Urine electrolytes
were consistent with pre-renal etiology in setting of poor po
intake and nausea. Nausea may initially have been ___ uremia in
setting of ___. Renal ultrasound obtained in ED showed normal
transplanted kidney. Given a concern that his creatinine of 1.4
may represent more severe disease in this man with bilateral
BKAs, he had 24H urine and cystatin for more accurate estimation
of GFR, which was calculated to be 40. He was continued on his
immunosuppresion with tacrolimus and prednisone, with tacrolimus
levels checked daily. His lisinopril was held during the course
of the admission and held on discharge.
#Nausea: Unclear etiology. Most likely ___ constipation vs
medication effect vs less likely uremia. He had a KUB consistent
with severe fecal loading and so started on BID tap water enemas
and bowel regimen. However, follow up KUB showed improvement in
fecal loading and patient continued to c/o nausea. After
resolution of his constipation, the differential includes
primarily medication effect given that he does have a GFR of 40,
making uremia less likely. Given concern for medications causing
nausea, his gabapentin dosing was decreased substantially. His
narcotics may be a large contributor both to nausea and to
constipation; however, patient was not amenable to changing
narcotics regimen, as he has been stabilized on dosing for some
time. Gastroparesis is possible but his nausea is not related to
meals and is constant. He may have small bacteria overgrowth as
has been seen previously. GERD is less likely given the constant
nausea unrelated to meals or positioning. He does have a small
bowel resection of 26 cm due to incarcerated bowel but it is
less likely that he has short gut given that he has no other
symptoms except nausea. His lack of abdominal pain and fevers
points away from infectious etiology, and stool studies during
this admission have been negative. At this point, he may warrant
further work up that may be pursued as a an outpatient per GI.
By the time of discharge, he was tolerating po with oral
Compazine and Zofran, which he will be discharged on. GI was
consulted during admission and guided management.
#T1DM: s/p failed pancreas transplant and explantation (___).
A1c this admission 6.5%. Continued home insulin.
#Peripheral neuropathy: Continued gabapentin at reduced dose as
above
#CAD: S/P CABG. Continued home atorvastatin, aspirin, metoprolol
#PAD: S/P multiple stentings and bypass. Continued clopidogrel.
#HTN: Continued amlodipine at increased dosing, metoprolol.
Lisinopril held given ___.
TRANSITIONAL ISSUES
- Patient's home lisinopril was held upon admission due to ___.
He was subsequently hypertensive to 140s-160s and so his
amlodipine was increased from 5 to 10 mg daily with improvement
in blood pressure control. Consider re-starting as outpatient as
indicated |

home oxygen, with hospice care), who developed light-headedness
and shortness of breath after standing up from a chair in the
context of reduced PO intake over the past several days.
ACTIVE DIAGNOSES
================
# Lightheadedness/dizziness: Patient reports feeling unbalanced,
mostly with standing but occasionally occurs at rest as well.
Likely orthostatic presyncope, given decreased PO intake over
the past several days, dry mucus membranes, and orthostatic
hypotension on exam. There was a creatinine bump concerning for
dehydration-related ___, but BUN was not elevated. Neuro exam
was nonfocal. No signs of cardiac etiology. Her symptoms
improved with 2L NS and at the time of discharge, orthostatics
were negative and she had no dizziness with standing or
ambulation.
#Shortness of breath: the patient originally reported mild
shortness of breath, prompting initial treatment for COPD
exacerbation. CXR was unrevealing. At time of discharge,
however, the patient does not report any dyspnea and says that
her presentation is not similar to her previous COPD
exacerbations. Her oxygen saturation has been 100% on home
oxygen levels. We continued her home medications.
# ___: Last Cr 1.1 in ___. Cr on admission 1.7, which then
trended downwards to 1.5 after 1L NS. Patient has had decreased
intake over the past several days, in the setting of bactrim.
The creatinine bump may be due to dehydration (although BUN is
not disproportionally elevated), a bactrim-related drug effect,
or more chronic kidney disease, given no recent Cr on file.
CHRONIC ISSUES
===============
# HTN: we held her triamterine/HCTZ due to ___, but continued
her metoprolol. She was instructed to restart her home
medication on ___.
# GERD: Continued home omeprazole.

History of Present Illness:
Mrs. ___ is an ___ year old woman with known CAD (chronically
occluded RCA), CHF (EF 35%), PAF, hyperlipidemia, hypertension,
Stage III CKD, DM (HgA1c ___ in ___, hx of multiple TIA, and
COPD who presented to the ___ ED from her nursing home because
her ___ was concerned that she was slurring her speech and
stuttering her words.
In the ED, initial vitals were: 97.5 72 110/70 18 94% RA. Given
her ongoing word finding difficulties, a code stroke was called
and she had an urgent CT which did not show any evidence of a
new infarct. The stroke fellow felt that this was likely a
recrudescence of an old deficit in the setting of other ongoing
medical issues. Of note, her labs were notable for WBC 6, H/H
___, Plt 338, INR 1.9, Cr 3.4 (baseline ~2), BUN 61, LFTs wnl,
Na 139, K 4.9. She initially had a dirty UA and was given
macrobid but a repeat specimen was clean. Two urine cultures
were sent and are pending.
Of note, the patient was recently admitted in ___ for an
NSTEMI and had a similar "word-finding" problem and had a code
stroke called, and this was also ultimately though to be
recrudescence of her prior CVA.
Upon interviewing the patient, the patient states she was
admitted to ___ on ___ for a CHF exacerbation with
difficulty breathing and ___ edema. She is unclear the duration
of the hospitlazation and was discharged to rehab on standing
diuretics following her hospital stay at ___ which involved

or AV block and telemetry monitoring was unremarkable.
Orthostatic vital signs were normal. Hx was not c/w seizure.
Patient has had outpatient echo, which was normal, and a
___ hour holter monitor this month, which was
unrevealing. Per the patient's husband, her events have been
related to donepezil administration, which does have a 2% risk
of syncope. Donepezil was discontinued during this
hospitalization. Her labs were only note-able for a mild
leukcocytosis upon admission, that resolved on hospital day 2.
She did have a faint opacity on CXR but no other clinical s/sx
of infection or pneumonia, so she was not treated with full
course of abx. The etiology of her syncope remains unknown
although donepezil may be the culprit. She was set up with a
long term 30 day cardiac monitor upon discharge and has follow
up with her PCP and cognitive neurologist. |

HPI: ___ is a ___ year-old left-handed man with a PMHx
of pancreatic cancer with metastasis to liver on chemotherapy
(gemcitabine and abrexane, last dose 2 weeks ago), melanoma,
HTN,
HL, and T2DM who presents with recurrent episodes of dysarthria,
left facial droop, left hand weakness (dropping objects), and
left arm and leg paresthesias.
He was in his USOH until ___ at 7:30pm at which
time he stood up to say goodbye to his friends. At that time, he
developed dysarthria, left facial droop, left hand weakness (was
dropping his glasses), and left arm and leg paresthesias
(extending from all fingertips up to at least elbow and knee,
respectively, but could have involved whole arm and leg). His
son
also noticed that he was emotionally labile, sometimes laughing
and sometimes crying. There was no headache, face sensory
changes, numbness, aphasia, or leg weakness. Patient denies
difficulty reaching up with left arm, getting up out of a chair,
putting weight on his left leg, or lifting his left foot off the
ground. This episode lasted 30 minutes and then resolved
completely.
He then had similar symptoms (except for the emotional lability,
which never recurred) the following morning at 8:30am after
taking his morning medications and standing up. These lasted
___ seconds and then resolved. Per family, he would return
completely to baseline between episodes. However, they did admit
that he sounded slurred at the time of interview today despite
lying in bed (duration unclear). He presented to the ___ ED on ___, and a head CT was normal; he was discharged
home with a TIA after being seen by neurologist Dr.
___ there was also suspicion at that time that his
symptoms might have been due to recently prescribed fentanyl and
frequent prn oxycodone use). Fentanyl was discontinued, and MS
___ was restarted. After recurrence of these symptoms the
following day (occurring ___ times a day between ___ and
today, per family; paresthesias only present 50% of the time),
the family represented and was admitted to ___
after being seen by neurologist Dr. ___. Labs notable for
thrombocytopenia attributed to chemotherapy. A head CT did not
show any acute changes (had chronic microangiopathic changes(.
An
MRI brain demonstrated tiny cortically based infarcts in right
temporal and right parietal regions including precentral gyrus.
Per the radiology read, "Suspect embolic." (Images currently
unavailable). An MRI brain (not neck) and carotid US were
reportedly unremarkable. He also head an Echo that was
reportedly
normal. Because he would become symptomatic when he stood up,
his
tamsulosin was discontinued. Per the records, his symptoms with
standing resolved after this. However, per family, he was still
symptomatic when standing. An EEG was done this morning (report
not found, but it was normal per family; duration of monitoring
unknown). He was seen by ___ who recommended short term rehab
versus home with ___. The patient notes that he felt off balance
when working with ___. The patient also notes that he fell this
morning in the bathroom, which he attributes to tripping on his
neighbor's urinal which was lying sideways. He also had one
instance of not remembering the words for "O2 probe," but he
otherwise denies aphasia--no neologisms, paraphasic errors, or
difficulty understanding others. The family elected to go home.
The family represents today to ___ because he had another
episode as above lasting ___ seconds at 5pm today while trying
to walk up two steps to get to his home; they were concerned
that
the patient was discharged two early and had already had two
visits to ___, so the elected to come to ___.
He had been off aspirin for ___ years (patient unsure why), but
he was discharged on aspirin 81mg daily.
Of note, he was recently found to have an incidental aortic
mural
thrombus and venous splenic infarcts during a recent
hospitalization for pneumonia at ___. He was not
anticoagulated
due to thrombocytopenia.
On neuro ROS, the pt denies headache, loss of vision, blurred
vision, diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, lightheadedness,
vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing difficulty. Denies difficulties
comprehending speech. No bowel or bladder incontinence or
retention.

EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD.
INDICATION: ___ year old man with hx pancreatic CA with liver mets presents
with intermittent episodes dysarthria, left facial droop, left hemisensory
changes, LUE weakness. OSH MRI showed R MCA territory infarcts.// Evaluate for
infarcts, masses.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of 8 mL of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial imaging was
performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal
MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal
orientations.
COMPARISON: Prior CT of the head and neck dated ___, prior head CT
from an outside institution dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Several small foci of restricted diffusion in the right frontal lobe,
predominantly in the right precentral gyrus as well as a focus in the left
postcentral gyrus with associated FLAIR hyperintensity are concerning for
small subacute infarcts. Several additional small foci of subcortical and
periventricular white matter FLAIR hyperintensities are suggestive of chronic
small vessel ischemic changes.
There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, edema, masses, mass effect,
or midline shift. The ventricles and sulci are slightly prominent suggestive
of involutional changes.. There is no abnormal enhancement after contrast
administration.
IMPRESSION:
Several small cortical foci of slow diffusion suggestive of subacute infarcts
in the right precentral gyrus, as well as a focus in the left postcentral

pancreatic cancer with metastasis to liver on chemotherapy
(gemcitabine and abrexane, last dose 2 weeks ago), melanoma,
HTN, HL, and T2DM who presents with recurrent episodes of
dysarthria,
left facial droop, left hand weakness and left arm and leg
paresthesias. By history His exam is notable for dysarthria
(waxing/waning, worse with guttural sounds), mild left upper
motor neuron pattern of weakness (in 4+/5 range), and question
of mild left nasolabial fold flattening. He was found to have
multiple punctate, bilateral, cortically based infarcts on MRI.
Etiology for the patient's symptoms is most likely due to
underlying hypercoagulability from his malignancy, given the MRI
findings of stroke in multiple vascular distributions. Unlikely
related to intracranial stenosis given no significant stenosis
noted on CTA Head/Neck. Patient remains in house due to
persistent orthostatic hypotension.
HOSPITAL COURSE BY PROBLEM:
#Acute bilateral, punctate ischemic strokes: Workup included MRI
brain with and without contrast revealed several small cortical
based subacute infarcts in the right precentral gyrus, as well
as a focus in the left postcentral gyrus. Distribution is
concerning for embolic etiology. No evidence of intracranial
metastases. For stroke workup, risk factors included LDL 78,
hemoglobin a1c 6.0. Given that stroke from underlying
hypercoagulability was most likely--given pancreatic cancer
(particularly prone to hypercoagulability related complications)
and multiple affected vascular distributions--the patient was
started on therapeutic lovenox. This was discussed with his
oncologist, Dr. ___. Initially, given concern for perfusion
related deficits the patient was placed head of bed flat, but he
was able to advance his activity without neurologic symptoms.
Otherwise his sugars were well controlled, UA negative for
infection and CXR with mild cardiomegaly without infiltrate.
Patient expressed willingness to continue therapeutic lovenox
moving forward. Neurology follow up was arranged.
#Orthostatic hypotension: Patient was noted to have profound
orthostatic hypotension during ___ eval on ___. His SBP went from
120s sitting to ___ upon standing. He was symptomatic with mild
lightheadedness upon standing as well. He received IVF bolus,
low dose IV fluids and started on ___ stockings. Etiology was
thought to be due to hypovolemia given poor PO intake in setting
of cancer. On ___, he was started on fludrocortisone 0.1mg
daily.
#Pancreatic Cancer: Defer chemotherapy given acute illness.
Patient's oncologist was contacted to inform her about the
hospitalization. For pain control, increase MS contin to 60mg
TID with immediate release morphine 30mg q4h PRN after
discussion with the patient's outpatient palliative care
provider. Follow up was arranged with palliative care and
oncology.
#Anemia of chronic disease: The patient's hemoglobin remained at
baseline of ~7.8-8.5. No clinical evidence of bleeding. This was
trended daily.

COMPARISON: Left humerus radiographs ___ and ___
FINDINGS:
There are fractures of both the proximal and distal humerus.
There is unusual anterior impaction fracture along the humeral head (02:25,
400:31) with a fracture fragment measuring 2 x 0.7 cm. This is minimally
displaced but given this location, may represent reverse ___ if the
patient has history of a posterior dislocation. There is a small glenohumeral
joint effusion. No reverse bony Bankart is appreciated, evaluation of the
labrum is limited on CT.
Separate from the proximal humerus injury there is a distal humeral
intercondylar fracture with extension to the articular surface of the
radiocapitellar articulation. This is a T-shaped fracture with both a
supracondylar and intercondylar component (81: 64). There is distraction of
the fracture fragments by approximately 9 mm. There is a possible radial head
fracture although seen only on 1 set of images (6:64). There is a moderate
joint effusion. No dislocation seen.
There is diffuse soft tissue edema primarily about the elbow but also in the
axilla. A left-sided breast prosthesis is noted. Scattered axillary lymph
nodes do not meet the CT size criteria for pathologic enlargement. Tiny
pleural-based nodules in the left upper lobe measure less than 6 mm.
IMPRESSION:
1. Unusual impaction fracture along the anterior margin of the left humeral
head, this appearance can be seen with posterior dislocations and a reverse
___ lesion. Correlate with clinical history.
2. T-shaped supracondylar and intercondylar distal humerus fracture with
extension to the articular surface of the radiocapitellar joint. The patient
has subsequently undergone open reduction internal fixation of this fracture.
3. Possible radial head fracture.
4. Moderate elbow effusion.
5. Tiny left upper lobe pulmonary nodules are pleural-based and likely reflect
either scarring or intraparenchymal lymph nodes. These measure greater than 6
mm:
For incidentally detected multiple solid pulmonary nodules smaller than 6mm,
no CT follow-up is recommended in a low-risk patient, and an optional CT
follow-up in 12 months is recommended in a high-risk patient.

History of Present Illness:
___ Critical is a ___ ___ male with a PMHx
of
stroke ___ years ago, incidental finding on imaging), DM, HTN,
HL, and blindness ___ B/L glaucoma, per dtr) who presents with
left hemibody weakness.
He was in his USOH until ___, at which time he
experienced dyspnea treated with an albuterol inhaler. He
subsequently developed nausea, vomiting of "clear liquid,"
chills, and BP 180s/100s. He was treated with 10 minutes of his
wife's O2 NC, and then he was asymptomatic except for ongoing
chills.
On ___, the patient reports that he began to experience
left leg heaviness wherein he could not pick his left leg off
the
floor. Per his daughter, he has bilateral leg and arm
"heaviness." At that time, he started using a wheelchair, and he
continued to use it until the day of presentation due to
inability to lift the leg and inability to bear weight on the
left leg when walking. Prior to this, he would ambulate by
gripping onto objects (due to blindness) and with family member
standing behind him at all times for safetly. On ___, per
his
daughter, he could lift his arms, push on her hands with his
hands and feet, and make tight fists (she volunteered this).
He continued to have chills since ___, and he also had a cough
productive of white sputum; despite a reportedly normal CXR, his
PCP started ___ on ___ is d5/10).
On ___, his daughter noticed that he was not holding
his
plate with his left hand as he normally does while eating lunch;
the patient denied that there was a problem. The patient was
brought to the ED at that time, and per the ED notes, the
patient
reported 2 weeks of progressive weakness in bilateral arms and
legs as well as fatigue. The ED notes also noted some confusion
at the onset of weakness. CXR, UA, chem10, and CBC were normal.
NCHCT was also normal. He was discharged with palliative care
follow-up, and a referral for hpspice was made on ___.
On ___, at 4pm, he experienced left hand and arm
weakness such that both limbs were immobile. This started in the
arm, lasted 10 minutes, and then moved to the leg. The weakness
resolved within 30 minutes.
He was put to bet at 10pm on ___. Per his daughter, he often
doesn't fall asleep right away. Per the patient, he was still
awake at 11:45pm when he once again had left-sided weakness
(again arm then leg), and he rang the bell to call his daughter
who saw that his left side was immobilized again. This improved
such as that he was able to lift his left side antigravity
(unsustained).

COMPARISON: CT head ___ and ___
MRI head ___
FINDINGS:
CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST:
Encephalomalacia in the left occipital lobe is related to chronic infarction.
There is a chronic lacunar infarction in the right putamen. Small
hypodensities in the right caudate and left basal ganglia were not visualized
on the prior examinations. There is no evidence of no evidence of hemorrhage,
edema, or mass. The ventricles and sulci are prominent, related to
age-appropriate volume loss. Confluent hypoattenuation in the
periventricular, subcortical, and deep white matter are nonspecific, but
likely represent the sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle
ear cavities are clear. The patient is status post right cataract surgery.
CTA HEAD:
There is moderate narrowing and irregularity of the right proximal to mid M1
segment and right P1 and P2 segments. The left distal P1 segment occludes
with distal reconstitution of the P3 and P4 segments, which are decreased in
number relative to the right side. There is moderate to severe, multifocal
narrowing of the right distal V4 segment. The left A1 segment is hypoplastic.
The bilateral anterior cerebral, left middle cerebral, left vertebral,
basilar, and intracranial internal carotid arteries are patent. There are
mild atherosclerotic calcifications of the cavernous and supra clinoid
internal carotid arteries. No aneurysms are identified. The dural venous
sinuses are patent.
CTA NECK:
The left common carotid artery arises from the right brachiocephalic artery, a
normal anatomic variant. There is a small penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer
along the superior aortic arch on 9:27. The carotid and vertebral arteries
and their major branches are patent with no evidence of stenosis or occlusion.
Calcified and noncalcified plaque cause approximately 30% stenosis of the left
internal carotid artery at the bifurcation by NASCET criteria.
OTHER:
There is minimal subsegmental atelectasis. There are multiple, small
peribronchovascular nodules in the bilateral upper lobes, right greater than
left. The visualized portion of the thyroid gland is within normal limits.
There is no lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderate narrowing of the right proximal to mid M1 segment, right P1, and
right P2 segments and moderate to severe narrowing of the right distal V4
segments, likely related to atherosclerotic disease.
2. Occlusion of the left distal P1 and P2 segments with reconstitution of the
left P3 and P4 segments with chronic infarction along the left PCA
distribution.
3. Approximately 30% stenosis of the left internal carotid artery at its
bifurcation by NASCET criteria. No evidence of right internal carotid artery
stenosis by NASCET criteria.
4. Age indeterminate lacunar infarctions in the right caudate and left basal
ganglia.
5. Multiple small nodules in a peribronchovascular distribution in the upper
lobes, likely infectious or inflammatory in etiology.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ with stroke, evaluate for acute cardiopulmonary process.
TECHNIQUE: Chest PA and lateral
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
The aorta is tortuous with a rounded contour of the right hilum suggesting
aneurysmal dilatation of the aortic root, not included in the field of view on
the recent CTA head and neck. The cardiomediastinal contour is otherwise
normal. There is no focal consolidation, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema,

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRAST ___ MR HEAD
INDICATION: ___ year old man with prior stroke, hypertension, hyperlipidemia,
2 weeks intermittent left leg weakness, now with acute onset left sided
weakness on day prior to examination. Evaluate for acute infarct.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted imaging was performed. Axial imaging was
performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T2 technique were then
obtained.
COMPARISON ___ CTA head and neck.
___ unenhanced head CT.
___ unenhanced head MRI.
FINDINGS:
Study is mildly degraded by motion.
There is a right pontine 11 x 7 mm focus of slow diffusion with T2/ FLAIR
hyperintensity, and no associated increase susceptibility.
There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, masses, mass effect, midline shift.
The ventricles and sulci are patent and prominent in keeping with age-related
volume loss.
There are scattered foci of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the subcortical and
periventricular white matter, nonspecific, likely secondary to small vessel
ischemic disease. There is a chronic infarct with encephalomalacia in the
left occipital lobe with ex vacuo dilatation of the occipital horn of left
lateral ventricle.
Mild mucosal thickening in bilateral maxillary and ethmoid air cells. The
remaining visualized paranasal sinuses are clear. Nonspecific fluid
opacification of left mastoid air cells. The right mastoid air cells are
clear. Intracranial flow voids are maintained.
The left orbit is unremarkable. There is prior cataract surgery in the right
orbit. There is T2/FLAIR hyperintensity within the posterior chamber of the
right orbit with some internal foci of susceptibility on gradient echo imaging
and a T2 hypointense wavy membrane along the posterior aspect of the globe
which crosses over the optic disc.
IMPRESSION:
1. Study is mildly degraded by motion.
2. Right pons 11 x 7 mm acute to subacute infarct with no evidence of
hemorrhagic transformation.
3. Findings suggestive of right globe vitreous hemorrhage, as described.
While finding may be related to choroid detachment, an intra-ocular tumor is
not excluded on the basis of this examination. Recommend correlation with
ophthalmologic exam. If clinically indicated, contrast-enhanced MRI of the
orbits may be obtained.
4. Age-related volume loss with chronic infarct in the left occipital lobe.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Findings suggestive of right globe vitreous hemorrhage, as
described. While finding may be related to choroid detachment, an
intra-ocular tumor is not excluded on the basis of this examination. Recommend
correlation with ophthalmologic exam. If clinically indicated,
contrast-enhanced MRI of the orbits may be obtained.

level of acuity: 1.0 | Mr. ___ is a ___ yo male who was admitted on ___ due to concerns for acute ischemic stroke. He was admitted
with a 3 day history of fluctuating L arm and leg weakness. In
the ER a NCHCT was performed and did not demonstrate an acute
infarction or hemorrhage but was notable for old occipital
stroke. CTA demonstrated significant stenosis of multiple
intracranial arteries likely related to atherosclerotic disease.
Although there was concern for stroke, TPA was not given as it
was deferred by the patient's family. He was started on Aspirin
and admitted to the Neurology service for further workup. An
MRI w/o contrast was performed and demonstrated a right pons 11
x 7 mm acute to subacute infarct without hemorrhagic
transformation. His home Amlodipine of 2.5 mg qDay was
increased to 5 mg qDay due to ongoing high blood pressure.
Closer BP control with SBP 120-150 was recommended along with
improved glucose control with goal 150-180.
He was observed overnight with slight improvement in LUE
strength but persistent LLE weakness. There were no new
symptoms. He was evaluated by ___ who recommended ___ rehab
but family preferred discharge to home with outpatient ___.
Patient was advised to follow up with his PCP regarding
adjustment of his Metformin for better blood sugar control.
Lipid panel was notable after discharge for elevated
Triglycerides, low HDL (37), and normal LDL (89); no medications
for hyperlipidemia were started during this hospital course;
further treatment will be deferred to PCP. Of note, his MRI
demonstrated a R globe vitreous hemorrhage, likely contributing
to pain. This was discussed with ophthalmology who recommended
further evaluation with his primary opthalomogist. Finally, Mr.
___ was on a course of Levofloxacin at the time to
admission for CAP; daughter reported he had completed a 5 day
course so the medication was discontinued.

resolution.
___ 7:___HEST W/O CONTRAST
1. Multilobar small airways disease accompanied by dependent
lower lobe peribronchial consolidation. Considering esophageal
distention and central airway secretions, multifocal aspiration
or aspiration pneumonia should be considered. There are no
obstructing airway lesions.
2. Coronary artery and aortic valvular calcifications as well
as mild dilation of ascending aorta, the latter slightly
increased from ___.
3. Calcified gallstone.
Radiology Report
CHEST, TWO VIEWS: ___
HISTORY: ___ male with shortness of breath.
COMPARISON: ___ and ___.
FINDINGS: When compared to prior, the left lung base opacity is more
conspicuous, particularly on the frontal exam, and it was new from ___. Elsewhere, the lungs are clear. There is a small right effusion with
possible trace left effusion as well. Cardiac silhouette is enlarged but
stable. Atherosclerotic calcification is again seen at the aortic arch.
IMPRESSION: More conspicuous left mid lung to basilar opacity when compared
to most recent exam, compatible with pneumonia in the proper clinical setting.
Recommend repeat after treatment to document resolution.
Radiology Report
CT CHEST WITHOUT CONTRAST DATED ___
COMPARISON: Chest CTA dated ___.
TECHNIQUE: Volumetric, multidetector CT of the chest was performed without
intravenous or oral contrast. Images are presented for display in the axial
plane at 5-mm and 1.25-mm collimation. A series of multiplanar reformation
images are also submitted for review.
FINDINGS: A multilobar pattern of bronchiolitis is present involving the left
upper lobe, lingula and both lower lobes with only minimal involvement of the
right middle lobe and right upper lobe. Within these regions, diffuse
peribronchiolar nodules are present accompanied by some bronchial wall
thickening. Additionally, within the dependent portions of both lower lobes,
peribronchial consolidation is present, right lobe greater than left. Within
the more central airways, retained secretions are present within the trachea.
Additionally, note is made of asymmetry of the vocal cords with the right
appearing thicker and slightly more lobulated than the left. This appears
similar to the prior CTA of ___.
Bilateral mediastinal subcentimeter lymph nodes are probably hyperplastic in
the setting of diffuse lung and airway disease. Heart size is mildly
enlarged, and diffuse coronary artery calcifications are present as well as
aortic valvular calcifications. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated at 4.3
cm, slightly increased from 4.1 cm in ___. There is no pericardial effusion.
Trace right pleural effusion is noted, and bilateral calcified pleural plaques
are also evident.
The exam was not tailored to evaluate the subdiaphragmatic region, but note is
made of calcified gallstone within the gallbladder. Subcentimeter hypodensity
within the right lobe of the liver (image 55, series 2) is too small to
characterize by CT but probably a cyst or hemangioma. Diffuse vascular
calcifications are present in the abdominal aorta and its branches, and
widespread calcifications are also evident throughout the thoracic aorta and
branch vessels.
Degenerative changes are present within the spine.
IMPRESSION:
1. Multilobar small airways disease accompanied by dependent lower lobe
peribronchial consolidation. Considering esophageal distention and central
airway secretions, multifocal aspiration or aspiration pneumonia should be
considered. There are no obstructing airway lesions.
2. Coronary artery and aortic valvular calcifications as well as mild
dilation of ascending aorta, the latter slightly increased from ___.
3. Calcified gallstone.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ man with recurrent pneumonia assess for aspiration.
TECHNIQUE: Oropharyngeal swallowing videofluoroscopy was performed in
conjunction with the speech and swallow division. Multiple consistencies of
barium were administered.
COMPARISON: None available.
FINDINGS:
Barium passes freely through the oropharynx and esophagus without evidence of
obstruction.There was penetration with thin liquids and one episode of
aspiration with consecutive sips of thin liquids.
IMPRESSION:
Penetration with thin liquids. One episode of aspiration with consecutive sips
of thin liquids.
Please refer to the speech and swallow division note in OMR for full details,
assessment, and recommendations.
Radiology Report
CLINICAL HISTORY: New PIC line placed, check position.
The PIC line runs parallel to a markedly calcified and tortuous aorta and
exact position is difficult to evaluate. It appears to lie in the midline
within the left innominate vein.
There is no evidence of failure. The lung fields are clear.
This information was given to ___ of the IV line group at 11:58 by phone.

# HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA - CT chest revealed multilobar
PNA with bibasilar atelectasis. Recent hospitalization within
90-days warrnated treatment with Vancomycin and Cefepime. Had
received Levofloxacin previously without resolution. There was
also some concern for aspiration, so metronidazole was added to
the regimen. He clinically improved and was weaned from
supplemental oxgyen to ambient air. PICC line was placed, but
was pulled back to midline given that it was inadvertently in
the inominate vein. Leukocytosis and fever resolved. Cough
improved. Discharged with 8-day course of cefepime IV and oral
metronidazole.
# CHRONIC ASPIRATION - Video swallow evaluation was reassuring
per speech therapist. Was cleared for monitored oral intake.
Treated for pneumonia, as above.

Conclusions
The left atrium is dilated. The right atrium is dilated. No
atrial septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. There is
moderate symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The left
ventricular cavity size is normal. Regional left ventricular
wall motion is normal. Overall left ventricular systolic
function is mildly depressed (LVEF= 50 %). Tissue Doppler
imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure
(PCWP>18mmHg). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The aortic root is moderately dilated at the
sinus level. The ascending aorta is moderately dilated. A mobile
density is seen in the ascending aorta consistent with an
intimal flap/aortic dissection. The aortic valve leaflets (3)
are mildly thickened. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. A
probable mitral annuloplasty ring is visualized and functioning
appropriately. The mitral valve leaflets appears structurally
normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. The pulmonary artery
systolic pressure could not be determined. There is no
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: A proximal ascending aortic dissection is
appreciated in the absence of clinically significant aortic
regurgitation. The aortic root and ascending aorta are
moderately dilated. Probable mitral annuloplasty ring which
appears to be functioning normally. Mildly depressed global left
ventricular systolic function with increased left ventricular
filling pressure. Indeterminate pulmonary artery systolic
pressure.
To further characterize the extent of the dissection flap a
transesophageal echocardiogram or CT angiogram of the aorta may
be considered.

convexity is unchanged from the prior studies measuring up to 7 mm from the
inner table (400b:69). There is stable mild effacement of the adjacent sulci.
A right parafalcine hemorrhage is unchanged (400b:33). Intraparenchymal
hemorrhage within the inferomedial right frontal lobe is similar in size,
measuring approximately 1.1 x 0.6 cm, previously 1.2 x 0.4 cm with slightly
increased surrounding vasogenic edema. Additional foci of hemorrhage within
the anterior right frontal lobe appears slightly increased (400b:19), although
this is at least in part due to technical factors including streak artifact
from the frontal bone in this location (2a:8). The ventricles are normal in
size and configuration. The basal cisterns are patent.
The vertex scalp hematoma is unchanged. There is no underlying fracture.
Minimal mucosal thickening is noted in the sphenoid sinus, the right anterior
ethmoid air cells, and the frontoethmoidal recess. The visualized portion of
the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are
otherwise clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Similar size of intraparenchymal hemorrhage within the right inferior
frontal lobe with slightly increased surrounding vasogenic edema.
2. Stable extra-axial hematoma overlying the left frontal lobe with associated
sulcal effacement.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:
Ms. ___ is a ___ woman with a history of multiple
recent admissions to ___ for ___ and ___ s/p fall, as well as
___ and hyponatremia, who presented to the ED with confusion.
She was first hospitalized on ___ for a fall in the setting
of a UTI, which resulted in orbital and temporal bone fractures,
SAH, and a small SDH. She was stabilized and discharged to rehab
on ___, but was shortly readmitted for ___ and hyponatremia,
thought to be related to hypovolemia, which improved with IVF,
with a Cr of 1.5 at discharge on ___. She was again admitted
on ___ for body shaking and altered mental status, concerning
for seizure, with labs again c/w hypovolemia. She was placed on
renally dosed Keppra and no seizure activity was seen on EEG
monitoring. She was discharged to a SNF on ___ after her
mental status improved with hydration.
In the past 2 weeks since her discharge, she has had waxing and
waning confusion, which overall has progressively worsened per
her nephew, who is her HCP. On the day of presentation, she was
seen for a neurology outpatient follow-up, where she was found
to be have a BP of 80/45 and confusion; she was accordingly
referred to the ED.
On arrival to the ED, she was afebrile at 96.4 F, with a HR of
65 and BP of 115/48, O2Sat 100% on RA. Exam was notable the
patient being alert and oriented to name only and bilateral ___
edema. With the exception of a constricted right pupil c/w her
baseline right eye blindness, she was found to have a normal
neurologic exam. Labs showed Cr of 2.9 and BUN of 74, WBC of
14.8, and UA was significant for many WBC (>182), moderate
bacteria, and +nitrites. Imaging was unrevealing, with
non-contrast head CT negative for acute bleeding and CXR
negative for any acute cardiopulmonary process. In the ED she
received a dose of ceftriaXONE 1 g IV, and a 1000 mL NS IV
bolus, with subsequent improvement of her mental status per her
nephew.
Transfer VS were Temp 97.5, HR 74, BP 150/74, RR 16, O2Sat 97%
RA.
Decision was made to admit to medicine for further management.
On arrival to the floor, patient was fully oriented and reported
feeling well overall. Does endorse some mild dysuria and urinary
frequency. No fevers, hematuria, or abdominal pain. She has back
soreness at baseline but this has not changed recently. She
feels she has had a normal appetite and has been eating and
drinking well, but her nephew notes that she has lost about 20
lbs. in the past month.
Per family at bedside, patient now appears much better than she
has been in the past two weeks. Feel that she is more awake and
interactive. Not endorsing any complaints to them. Has not been
able to ambulate at rehab. Decreased PO at rehab but reportedly
ate a large breakfast on day of admission.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST (AP AND LAT)
INDICATION: History: ___ with altered mental status// eval for pneumonia
TECHNIQUE: Upright AP and lateral views of the chest
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___
FINDINGS:
Left-sided pleural calcifications with evidence of left-sided volume loss with
leftward shift of mediastinal structures is unchanged and likely reflective of
left-sided fibrothorax. Heart size remains mildly enlarged. The aorta is
diffusely calcified. Mediastinal and hilar contours are otherwise unchanged.
Pulmonary vasculature is not engorged. No focal consolidation, pleural
effusion or pneumothorax is present. No acute osseous abnormalities are
detected.
IMPRESSION:
No acute cardiopulmonary process. Left-sided pleural calcifications and
volume loss likely reflective of fibrothorax.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: History: ___ with altered mental status// eval for bleed
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images from skullbase to vertex were obtained
without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations and bone
algorithms reconstructions were also performed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Sequenced Acquisition 16.0 s, 16.2 cm; CTDIvol = 49.4 mGy (Head) DLP =
802.7 mGy-cm.
2) Sequenced Acquisition 6.0 s, 6.1 cm; CTDIvol = 49.4 mGy (Head) DLP =
301.0 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 1,104 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: ___ CT head
FINDINGS:
Examination is moderately limited by patient motion.
Previously noted right frontoparietal convexity hypodense subdural collection
has continued to decrease in size now measuring up to 4 mm wide. Other
previously seen areas of extra-axial hemorrhage have resolved. No new
intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect is present. No shift of normally
midline structures is apparent. There are sequela of extensive chronic
microvascular disease in the centrum semiovale bilaterally and subcortical
white matter of the left frontal lobe. Ventricular and sulcal prominence is
indicative of age related involutional change. Gray-white matter
differentiation is normal. Dense atherosclerotic calcifications of the
cavernous carotid and distal vertebral arteries are again noted.
The imaged paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are
clear. Unchanged fractures involving the left occipital bone and right
occipital bone appear unchanged. There is no new fracture or subgaleal
hematoma.
IMPRESSION:
1. Motion degraded examination.
2. Decreased size of right frontoparietal convexity hypodense subdural
collection and resolution of additional previously noted areas of extra-axial
hemorrhage. No new intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect.
3. Unchanged chronic fractures involving the occipital bones bilaterally.

SAH and SDH, as well as ___ and hyponatremia in the setting of
hypovolemia, who initially presented with confusion, found to
have an ___, and a UA consistent with urinary tract infection.
# Toxic Metabolic Encephalopathy: Thought to be likely
multifactorial delirium given waxing and waning mental status.
Contributors include UTI, hypovolemia recent fall, recent
hospitalizations, ___, uremia, medication induced. CTH negative
for new intracranial process. Her exam is not suggestive of a
post-ictal state, making seizure an unlikely cause of her
altered mental status. She was treated for her UTI as below. She
was frequently reorientated, her sleep/wake was optimized, and
disturbances were minimized. Sertraline was d/c'ed and
Mirtazapine started. at discharge, patient was near her
baseline, oriented to self and date and alert.
# UTI: Her confusion and poor orientation on presentation to the
ED are most consistent with delirium, the source of which could
be a urinary tract infection, given her leukocytosis and UA
consistent with UTI and suprapubic tenderness on exam. There is
nothing to suggest another source of infection, and her negative
chest x-ray and clear lungs on exam suggest pneumonia is
unlikely. She received a 3 day course of ceftriaxone 1 gm IV
Q24h, from ___. Urine culture grew pan-sensitive pseudomonas
aeruginosa, and she received a 3 day course of ceftazidime 500
mg IV Q12H from ___.
#C Diff: uptrending leukocytosis during admission and then
patient developed diarrhea. c dif was sent and positive. patient
started on oral vancomycin QID x 10 days. Day ___.
# Hypernatremia: serum Na rose to 148 on ___, resolved w/ fluid
resuscitation and stable with PO intake prior to discharge.
# ___: Admission Cr 2.9, baseline around 1.1. Her initial BUN:Cr
ratio was elevated at ~25:1, suggesting a pre-renal cause of
decreased kidney function. In the context of her previously
observed hypotension and exam findings, hypovolemia, perhaps due
to poor PO intake in the setting of altered mental status, could
be the precipitating factor. Her Cr improved to baseline (down
to 1.1 from 2.9) with IV hydration.
# Chronic hypertension: BPs remained within acceptable range
throughout her admission. Given ___, her lisinopril and
hydrochlorothiaze were initially held pending improved renal
fxn. She received her home amlodipine and metroprolol. Given
that patient has had multiple readmissions for ___, decision was
made to tolerate a more liberal blood pressure goal to prevent
recurrent ___. Discharged on amlodipine and metoprolol. HCTZ and
lisinopril were held during admission and at discharge.
# Chronic constipation: She received a bowel regimen of docusate
sodium and senna.
# Recent SAH/SDH/seizure ppx: Home Keppra was discontinued per
recommendation from patient's outpatient neurologist.
# HCM/home meds: Her home sertraline was switched to remeron
(for improved sleep/in light of recent weight loss). She was
continued on her home aspirin, multivitamin, thiamine 100 mg,
and folic acid.

lesion, pancreatic ductal dilatation, or peripancreatic stranding.
SPLEEN: The spleen is normal in attenuation throughout. No focal splenic
lesion. An incidental splenule at the inferior tip is noted.
ADRENALS: The adrenal glands are normal in size and configuration.
URINARY: The kidneys are normal in size and symmetric with normal
nephrograms. The left kidney is malrotated/nonrotated, unchanged from the
prior exam. There is a 6-mm non-obstructing right mid-upper renal pole stone,
unchanged from ___ (Series 104b, Image 38; Series 2, Image 25). No
hydronephrosis or perinephric abnormality. There is a 7-mm right upper renal
pole exophytic cortical lesion of intermediate density not definitely
appreciated on the prior exam (Series 2, Image 20). There is another
ill-defined hyperdense lesion in the right lower renal pole cortex (Series 2,
Image 32, 70 ___ that may correspond to an hyperdense lesion on arterial phase
with a focus of enhancement vs partial volume averaging. Other bilateral renal
cortical lesions are too small to accurately characterize on CT and may
represent cysts, or appear simple. The urinary bladder is essentially
decompressed, thus limiting evaluation, but appears grossly unremarkable.
GASTROINTESTINAL: There is a small hiatal hernia. The small bowel is normal
in thickness, enhancement, and caliber. There is prominent diverticulosis
throughout the entire colon. No secondary signs of diverticulitis are noted.
No evidence of active GI bleeding. The sigmoid colon is largely decompressed,
as limiting assessment of the wall; however, the wall appears slightly
hyperemic, and there is suggestion of vascular engorgement, which may suggest
an early colitis. No adjacent fat stranding or lymphadenopathy. No bowel
obstruction, pneumatosis, pneumoperitoneum, intra-abdominal free fluid, or
fluid collection.
RETROPERITONEUM AND MESENTERY: No retroperitoneal or mesenteric
lymphadenopathy.
PELVIS: No pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. No free fluid in the pelvis.
The uterus is enlarged with multiple fibroids, several of which contain coarse
calcifications.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: There is diffuse, extensive bony demineralization. No
suspicious lytic or sclerotic bony lesion. Prominent multi-level degenerative
changes affect every level of the visualized lumbosacral spine, with
significant loss of intervertebral disc height with vacuum phenomenon,
endplate sclerosis, osteophytes, subchondral cysts. A tiny fat containing
left inguinal hernia. Otherwise, the abdominal and pelvic walls are grossly
unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No active hemorrhage / GI bleeding identified.
2. Diverticulosis without secondary signs of diverticulitis.
3. The sigmoid colon is collapsed, thereby limiting assessment of the wall;
however, there is suggestion of vascular engorgement in the sigmoid colon
without fat stranding - cannot exclude an early sigmoid colitis.
4. Right upper renal pole hyperdense lesions vs partial volume averaging.
Further characterize first with renal ultrasound if not already characterized.
Communicated with ___ in the ___ ICU at 630 pm on ___.
5. Incidental 3-mm left lower lobe lung nodule. If low risk, no follow-up
needed. If high risk patient, dedicated chest CT in 12 months is recommended
using ___ Guidelines. This recommendation was communicated to ___
___ in the ___ ICU at 640 pm on ___.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: RENAL U.S.
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with upper right renal pole lesion on CT. has
PMH of left renal oncocytoma, s/p partial nephrectomy // eval right renal
lesion seen on CT
TECHNIQUE: Grey scale and color Doppler ultrasound images of the kidneys were
obtained.
COMPARISON: CTA abdomen and pelvis ___
FINDINGS:
Right kidney:
The right kidney measures 9.7 cm.
There are 2 adjacent simple cysts in the upper pole of the right kidney, the
larger of which measures 1.7 x 1.7 x 1.9 cm. There is a 0.5 cm stone in the
upper pole of the right kidney, as seen on the prior CT abdomen. Within the
lower pole of the right kidney, there is an irregular cystic lesion measuring
1.6 x 1.2 x 1.0 cm; this contains a 0.6 cm intracystic nodule that does not
demonstrate increased vascularity on color flow images and likely corresponds
to the finding on the to recent CT abdomen on Se 601b, Im 71. No
hydronephrosis.
Left kidney:
The left kidney measures 8.0 cm, status post partial nephrectomy. There is a
dominant 1.7 x 1.4 x 1.8 cm simple cyst in the upper pole of the left kidney.
Within the lower pole of the left kidney, there is a 1.0 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm
hypoechoic lesion containing a 2 mm avascular septation. No evidence of
nephrolithiasis or hydronephrosis on the left.
The bladder is mildly distended and normal in appearance.
IMPRESSION:
1. Several bilateral simple renal cysts, two in the right upper pole and one
in the left upper pole.
2. 1.6 x 1.2 x 1.0 cm cystic lesion that contains a 0.6 cm intracystic
nodule, likely corresponding to the finding on the recent CT abdomen. Given
this somewhat atypical appearance, an MRI is recommended for further
evaluation.
3. 1.0 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm left lower pole cyst containing a 2 mm avascular
septation.
RECOMMENDATION(S): MRI abdomen for further characterization of the right
lower lesion containing in intracystic nodule.

.
# BRBPR
# Acute blood loss anemia
# Presumed diverticular bleed
Presented with two episodes of BRBPR. She was hemodynamically
stable apart from episode of orthostatic hypotension to 90/60 in
the ED. She received 2L NS and 2 units of PRBCs. Her HCT nadir
was 29.3 and responded appropriately to 35 with the 2 units
PRBC. CTA was negative for any active source of bleeding. Home
anti-HTN's (atenolol, amlodipine, torsemide and losartan) and
ASA were initially held. She was restarted on low dose
metoprolol after she remained hemodynamically stable in the ICU.
She remained without further episodes of BRBPR. She was seen
by GI consult, and GI consult felt that her bleed was most
likely secondary to diverticular bleeding that self-resolved.
They did not recommend inpatient colonoscopy, and would defer to
outpatient setting for consideration of colonoscopy if within
patient's goals of care.
.
# HTN: Longstanding hypertension. Had orthostatic episode in ED
prior to blood transfusion. Home anti-HTN's were initially held.
She was later restarted on metoprolol as above in the ICU, but
this was transitioned back to atenolol, and her other home
antihypertensives and diuretic were resumed without incident
.
# CKD: III Hx of partial nephrectomy (for renal oncocytoma),
longstanding hypertension, proteinuria
Creatinine was at baseline. Held home torsemide given
hypovolemia and concern for developing hypotension, but this was
ultimately resumed. . Continued calcium and vitamin D.

well as known metastatic disease. Question intracranial hemorrhage.
COMPARISON: Reference study dated ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous non-contrast axial images were acquired through the
brain, with multiplanar reformations.
FINDINGS: There is no intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, edema, or shift
of normally midline structures. The gray-white matter differentiation appears
preserved. Ventricles and sulci are prominent, consistent with age-related
involution. Note is made of prominent bifrontal parietal CSF spaces,
unchanged since prior exam. Suprasellar and basilar cisterns are patent.
Paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. There is dense
material within the sella, consistent with prior history of pituitary adenoma
resection. Right frontal craniotomy is present. Paranasal sinuses and
mastoid air cells are well aerated. Globes and soft tissues are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial process.
2. MRI is more sensitive for ischemia if of concern.

effusion. Coronary arterial calcifications are noted. A hyperdense
presumably cardiac pacer lead terminates in the right atrium, but is
incompletely imaged.
The liver demonstrates no focal lesion but mildly fatty. The gallbladder is
mildly distended without evidence of acute inflammation or stone. A small
area of fundal nodularity is unchanged since prior exams, previously
characterized as adenomyoma as by ultrasound. The spleen, pancreas, and
adrenal glands are unremarkable. Bilateral kidneys enhance symmetrically
without hydronephrosis or hydroureter. A right-sided nephrostomy tube is in
expected location and unchanged since at least ___.
Small and large bowel loops are normal in caliber. There is no free air or

criteria for adenopathy. Great vessels are patent. Moderate atherosclerotic
disease is seen in the infrarenal aorta extending into common iliac arteries.
There is no free air or free fluid.
Moderate atherosclerotic disease is present in the infrarenal aorta extending
to iliac vessels, without aneurysm.
CT PELVIS: The bladder contains excreted contrast in a Foley catheter. Air
in the bladder likely related to recent instrumentation. Note is made of
stable stranding in the pelvis and presacral regions, in keeping with known
prior radiation therapy for cervical cancer metastatic to the bladder wall.
There is no abnormal filling defect within the bladder. The uterus
demonstrates small amount of fluid within the endocervical canal. The adnexa
appear within normal limits. No inguinal or pelvic sidewall adenopathy by
size criteria. No free fluid in the pelvis.

Hospital Course
---------------
#. The patient presented to the emergency department in the
setting of frequent episodes of diarrhea and confusion. In the
ED the patient was noted to be very confused and agitated.
Laboratory studies remarkable only for mildly elevated lactate
of 1.2 and abscence of leukocytosis. A UA was concerning for UTI
and she was started on ceftriaxone. A head CT was performed and
was unremarkable. A CT abdomen/pelvis was also largely
unremarkable and did no explain the ___ symptoms. Given 2L
of IVF and stress dose steroids (on chronic steroids). Admitted
to the floor.
On the floor the patient remained confused and combative.
Required restraints. Fluid resus was continued. The ___
mental status improved by HOD #2 however she continued to have
diarrhea. Her hematocrit trended downwards and she developed
grossly bloody stool with clots. Received 2 PRBC transfusions
and seen by GI who performed a colonoscopy revealing radiation
proctitis. The patient had no further bleeding and was
discharged with plans for close oupatient PCP ___. The
patient required frequent electrolyte repletion in the hospital
and was discharged on a potassium and magnesium repletion
regimen.
#. UTI: In the ED, the patient had a UA concerning for UTI and
she was started on ceftriaxone. Her urine culture grew
klebsiella and she was switched to ampicillin. THis was further
modified to ciprofloxacin after sensitivities returned. Planned
to complete 8 day course of antibiotics for complicated cystitis
then return to macrobid prophylaxis. The ___ right
nephrostomy tube functioned well and was not changed.
#. Known Pelvic Fractures: Appeared stable on imaging. Has
chronic pelvic pain due to this and is on hydromorphone at home
for the pain. Independent on ambulation/ADLs. Continued on
opiates for pain control once delerium cleared.
#. Hx benign pituitary adenoma: Resected many years ago. Was on
levothyroxine and low dose predisone for years as a result of
hypopituitarism that followed. Got stress dose steroids in the
ED then returned to ___ daily of prednisone. A TSH was checked
and measured <0.02 in the setting of acute illness. A T4 was
WNL. The patient was continued on her home levothyroxine dose. |

Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPHS
HISTORY: Confusion.
COMPARISONS: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, AP and lateral.
FINDINGS: The heart is mildly enlarged. The aorta is mildly tortuous and
calcified. There is blunting of the right costophrenic sulcus but similar to
prior studies, suggesting scarring. To a lesser degree, there is also
blunting of the left costophrenic sulcus that appears unchanged.
Hemidiaphragms are flattened suggesting mild hyperinflation. There is no
definite pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION: Stable appearance of the chest, without evidence for acute
disease.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with confusion. Assess for acute bleeding.
COMPARISON: CT head on ___ and CT head on ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the brain.
FINDINGS: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, mass, mass effect, or
vascular territorial infarction. Ventricles and sulci are mildly prominent,
consistent with age-related atrophy. There is confluent periventricular and
subcortical white matter hypodensity consistent with mild chronic small vessel
ischemic disease. There are more distinct hypodensities within the bilateral
thalami, left greater than right, and genu of the internal capsule on the
right representing possible old lacunar infarcts. These were already present
on ___. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are
well aerated. There is no fracture identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial process.
2. Chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
3. Age-related atrophy.
4. Hypodensities in the bilateral thalami, left greater than right, and genu
of the right internal capsule that are unchanged compared to ___ suggesting
small old lacunar infarcts.
Radiology Report
EXAM: MRI OF THE BRAIN.
CLINICAL INFORMATION: Patient with altered mental status and memory deficit
and movement disorder.
TECHNIQUE: T1 sagittal and FLAIR, T2 susceptibility and diffusion axial
images of the brain were acquired. Diffusion and T2 images were repeated
secondary to persistent motion.
FINDINGS: There is no acute infarct seen on diffusion images. Moderate brain
atrophy and moderate periventricular changes of small vessel disease are
identified. Increased signal is seen in the periventricular and white matter
extending to thalami posteriorly also appears to be due to small vessel
disease. The vascular flow voids are maintained. Chronic lacunes are seen in
the right basal ganglia region. There is no evidence of chronic blood
products but evaluation is somewhat limited by motion on the susceptibility
images.
IMPRESSION: No acute infarct seen. Moderate brain atrophy and moderate small
vessel disease. Chronic lacunes in the basal ganglia. No acute infarcts.

level of acuity: 2.0 | ___ F with history COPD on 3L oxygen, DM on insulin, HTN,
schizoaffective disorder, tardive dyskinesia sent in to the ED
for increasing confusion and forgetfullness.
# Encephalopathy: Acute short term memory loss without obvious
preceeding event. Inattention on exam but oriented indicating
most likely delirium versus acute progression of dementia. Acute
onset and with possible stepwise decline is curious for vascular
dementia. CT head also showing some small vessel ischemic
disease which may be consistent with vascular dementia. MRI head
did not show acute process or acute stroke. In addition, chronic
psychiatric disease with dopaminergic medications may be
exacerbating her clinical status. Toxic-metabolic work up all
negative except for low TSH but FT4 is 1.0. B12, Folate and RPR
all normal/negative. After reading prior neuro notes she did not
seem far off from baseline. Neurology was consulted who
requested an EEG which showed mild diffuse background slowing
and disorganization, indicative of a mild diffuse encephalopathy
which is etiologically non specific. There were no epileptiform
features. Final diagnosis was polypharmacy induced
encephalopathy. Benadryl was discontinued, Clonazepam tapered
down and discontinued and Tetrabenzaprine dose halved. Plan to
discontinue Tetrabezaprine all together but patient requested it
continued. Neuro also felt she definatively has sleep apnea
which is likely contributing to poor morning arousability. CPAP
was started on the floor and continued as an outpatient.
# COPD: Oxygen-dependent COPD (3LPM), s/p respiratory arrest in
___ with protracted intubation course. Labored,
tachypnic breathing on admission though without oxygen
requirement. After being placed back on home O2 of 2L NC her
respiratory status improved and she maintained O2 sats in >95%.
Continued home regimen of Albuterol 0.083% Neb Soln 1 NEB IH
Q4H:PRN, Fluticasone Propionate NASAL 1 SPRY NU DAILY,
Ipratropium Bromide Neb 1 NEB IH Q6H, Dulera *NF*
(mometasone-formoterol) 100-5 mcg BID and supplemental O2 at 2L
NC. No acute exacerbation during admission. Patient is on
Azithromycin chronically as an outpatient, unclear if this can
be continued, defer to outpatient pulmonary for that decision.
# Glycosuria: 1000 Glu on UA. Serum glucose only 200 so unclear
why she is spilling so much glucose. Possibly Fanconi syndrome
though patient with normal renal function, phosphate and bicarb
slightly elevated. Elevated bicarb likely compensating for
chronic CO2 retention, no evidence of RTA to look for Fanconi's.
Dilute urine may also indicate she is not concentrating
appropriately. Repeat urine continued to show glycosuria. This
can be monitored as an outpatient.
# Hypertension: Chronic, uncontrolled, asymptomatic at this
point, not being treated as an outpatient. Allergy to ACE-I and
ARBs which would be first line given possibly renal dysfunction
with glycosuria. Consider starting Chlorthalidone as an
outpatient.
# Diabetes Mellitus: Type II, insulin dependent, complicated by
vascular disease. Continued Lantus 20 units QHS and QACHS ___ and
HISS, held Metformin while inpatient
# Schizoaffective disorder: On typical antipsychotics
complicated by movement disorders and tardive dyskinesia.
Consider changing medications as there may be contributing to
AMS deterioration. Discontinued Clonazepam 1 mg PO/NG QHS due to
lethargy but continued Perphenazine 8 mg PO/NG QHS, Olanzapine 5

impending rupture. The bilateral common iliac arteries are also somewhat
ectatic. Multiple prominent not pathologically enlarged periportal and
retroperitoneal lymph nodes identified. No free air fluid identified within
the abdomen.
No suspicious lytic or blastic lesions present.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large left upper lobe necrotic lung lesion may represent necrotizing
pneumonia. Potential considerations include fungal infection or necrotizing
malignancy. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy noted.
2. Multiple other pulmonary nodules as described above including a suspicious
spiculated right lower lobe 1 cm lesion with pleural traction, concerning for
malignancy.
3. Small left and moderate right pleural effusion and pericardial effusion.
4. 5.7 cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm without evidence of dissection
or impending rupture.

Radiology Report
REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with ultrasound-guided
transbronchial biopsy.
Fourteen images obtained during fluoroscopy as spot views were brought to our
review. The total fluoroscopy time of 228.3 seconds was recorded. The images
demonstrate the process of transbronchial biopsy of the left upper lobe. Note
is made that the radiologist was not attending the procedure.
Radiology Report
REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient after left upper lobe
biopsy to check for pneumothorax.
COMPARISON: ___.
The patient is after transbronchial left upper lobe biopsy. The current study
demonstrate left upper lobe opacity, slightly more progressed as compared to
prior study, most likely related to post-biopsy minimal hemorrhage. No
appreciable pneumothorax is seen. The rest of the findings are unchanged.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST ___ MR HEAD
INDICATION: ___ female with posterior fossa mass seen on outpatient
MRI. Neurosurg recommended MRI with contrast (OSH MRI done w/out contrast).
Eval brain mass.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with
gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was
performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations.
COMPARISON: No prior exams are available for direct comparison.
FINDINGS:
Postcontrast MPRAGE images demonstrate an extra-axial homogeneously enhancing
mass arising from the posterior dural reflection of the posterior fossa. The
mass measures approximately 3.2 cm AP x 4 cm TV by 3.7 cm SI (image 60 of
series 14, image 64 of series 100) demonstrates mild diffusion restriction.
Mild-to-moderate mass effect on the right posterolateral aspect of the fourth
ventricle. Additional mass effect on the right greater than left cerebellar
hemispheres. Severe mass effect and anterior displacement of the
craniocervical junction and upper cervical spinal cord. There is resultant
severe narrowing and remodeling of the upper cervical spinal cord measuring up
to 3-4 mm in AP dimension with minimal to no surrounding CSF (images ___ of
series 12). No significant parenchymal FLAIR signal abnormality secondary to
mass.
No additional masses are identified.
There is no evidence of true restricted diffusion to suggest acute infarction.
No definite evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. The ventricles are moderate
to severely enlarged without evidence of transependymal CSF flow. There is
mild enlargement of the sulci. No midline shift.
Postsurgical changes of bilateral lens replacement. Mild mucosal thickening
of the ethmoid sinuses.
The intracranial V4 segments are small in caliber prior to the formation of
the basilar artery. The basilar artery is also small in caliber. This is
likely congenital.
IMPRESSION:
1. Extra-axial homogeneously enhancing mass arising from the posterior fossa
with severe mass effect and remodeling on the upper cervical spinal
cord/craniocervical junction, most consistent with a meningioma. No evidence
of significant parenchymal FLAIR signal abnormality. At the level of the
craniocervical junction, minimal to no CSF is seen.
2. Moderate to severe enlargement of the ventricular system may in part be due
to hydrocephalus caused by the mass at the craniocervical junction, however
there is no evidence of transependymal CSF flow to suggest acute
hydrocephalus. Close attention on follow-up is recommended.
3. No evidence of acute infarction or intracranial hemorrhage.

TECHNIQUE: After administration of 6 mL of Gadavist intravenous contrast,
axial imaging was performed with MPRAGE and T1 technique. Sagittal and coronal
orientation reformatted images of the MPRAGE acquisition was then produced.
COMPARISON: MRI of the head from ___.
FINDINGS:
Again seen is the extra-axial, homogeneously enhancing mass in the posterior
fossa measuring approximately 3.3 x 4.0 x 3.6 cm (AP X TR X SI). The mass is
again noted to extend into the foramen magnum, resulting in crowding and mass
effect on the medulla and upper cervical spinal cord. There is also unchanged
effacement of the inferior fourth ventricle and mass effect on the bilateral
cerebellar hemispheres (right greater than left) and vermis.
The there is no evidence of acute infarction.
IMPRESSION:
No significant change in appearance of the extra-axial, homogeneously
enhancing posterior fossa mass with stable mass effect on adjacent structures.

TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with
gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was
performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations.
COMPARISON: MRI head with without contrast ___.
FINDINGS:
Postsurgical changes are seen after suboccipital craniotomy for resection of a
midline extra-axial posterior fossa mass extending through the
cervicomedullary junction. Findings include diffuse supratentorial,
infratentorial and intraventricular blood products, dural thickening, small
subdural collections over the right cerebral and cerebellar and left front
convexities. Linear enhancement is seen surrounding the resection cavity,
without evidence of residual tumor. The dural venous sinuses are patent. The
vertebral arteries are unremarkable. There is pneumocephalus in the right
frontal and temporal horns and overlying the right frontal convexity.
Foci of slow diffusion are seen involving the bilateral medial cerebellar
hemispheres, in the bilateral posterior inferior cerebellar artery
territories.
A right frontal approach ventriculostomy catheter is seen terminating within
the body left lateral ventricle.
The ventricles and sulci are prominent, consistent with global cerebral
volume loss. The patient is status post bilateral lens replacement. The
mastoid air cells are clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. Postsurgical changes in the bilateral posterior inferior cerebellar artery
territories, likely secondary to recent suboccipital craniotomy for resection
of an extra-axial mass of the cervicomedullary junction.
2. Postsurgical linear enhancement surrounding the resection cavity without
evidence of residual tumor.
3. Patent dural venous sinuses and vertebral arteries.
4. Right frontal approach ventriculostomy catheter without ventriculomegaly.

Postsurgical changes related to posterior fossa meningioma resection are noted
including a left occipital craniotomy, pneumocephalus and posterior soft
tissue swelling/subcutaneous emphysema. There is no evidence of acute
territorial infarction. There is no definite midline shift.
There is no evidence of fracture. A 6 mm osteoma is noted in the left ethmoid
air cells. There is mild mucosal thickening in the bilateral ethmoid air
cells as well as aerosolized secretions in the sphenoid sinuses, this is
likely related to recent intubation. The visualized portion of the orbits
demonstrate bilateral lens replacement postoperative changes.
IMPRESSION:
1. Dental amalgam and hardware streak artifact limits study.
2. Expected postsurgical changes related to recent posterior fossa meningioma
resection.

COMPARISON: CT head without contrast ___. MR head ___.
FINDINGS:
Patient is status post posterior fossa craniotomy and resection of meningioma.
There is significant interval decrease in amount of pneumocephalus with small
residual pneumocephalus in the right lateral ventricle and along the bilateral
frontal lobes.
There is slight interval increase in hypodensity of the right cerebellum and
medial left cerebellum with persistent effacement of the fourth ventricle.
Trace layering hemorrhage in bilateral occipital horns are similar to that on
prior MR. ___ development of a 1.3 x 0.8 cm density in the right lateral
ventricle, new since priors and new linear density in the third ventricle,
also likely representing blood products.
Right frontal approach ventriculostomy catheter terminates in the left lateral
ventricle similar to prior. Trace hyperdensity suggestive of blood products
along the tract of the catheter is similar to prior. Size and configuration
of the right lateral ventricle has decreased in size compared to prior CT and
is slightly decreased compared to prior MR.
___ 5 mm osteoma is noted in the left ethmoid sinus. The visualized portion of
the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear.
The visualized portion of the orbits demonstrate bilateral lens replacement.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval development of a 1.3 cm density in the right lateral ventricle and
linear density in the third ventricle may represent intraventricular blood
products, new since prior but less likely to hyper acute given its density.
Stable bilateral layering intraventricular hemorrhage in the occipital horn.
2. Status post posterior fossa craniotomy and resection of meningioma with
increased extent of hypodensity in the right cerebellum and similar

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with pfossa meningioma s/p resection (POD7)
with EVD placement intraop. EVD was removed yesterday, clinical exam had been
stable, but this morning is more somnolent, not sustaining EO, obeying simple
commands.// eval for hydrocephalus, hemorrhage.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without
contrast.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Sequenced Acquisition 4.0 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 46.7 mGy (Head) DLP =
747.3 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 747 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT head without contrast of ___.
FINDINGS:
The patient is status post removal of a right trans frontal ventriculostomy
catheter, now with increased pneumocephalus within the anti dependent portions
of the lateral ventricle frontal horns. There is also new pneumocephalus
within the anterior right temporal horn and along the ventriculostomy tract..
There is interval increase size of the anterior horns of the lateral
ventricles secondary to pneumocephalus. The remainder of the ventricles are
similar in size to prior exam. For example the third ventricle measures
approximately 11 mm in width. Occipital craniotomy and underlying resection
with encephalomalacia of the right cerebellar hemisphere and edema pattern is
unchanged.
There is interval increased size of dependent hematoma within the occipital
horn of the left lateral ventricle (series 2, image 15) however this may be
secondary to redistribution. There remains mass effect on the fourth
ventricle secondary to posttreatment edema and changes. The remainder the
basilar cisterns are patent.
There is no evidence of acute large territory infarct. No acute osseous
abnormality. The visualized paranasal sinuses are essentially clear noting a
subcentimeter left and ethmoid air cell osteoma. The mastoid air cells middle
ears arm ties and clear. The orbits are unremarkable, noting bilateral lens
replacements.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval removal of right trans frontal ventriculostomy catheter.
2. Significant increase in degree of pneumocephalus, particularly along the
anti dependent portions of the bilateral frontal horns and right temporal horn
of the lateral ventricles, slightly increasing the size. The remainder of the
ventricles remains similar in size.
3. Slight interval increase in dependent hemorrhage in the left occipital
horn, potentially secondary to redistribution. No other new hemorrhage
identified.
4. No acute large territory infarct. No acute osseous abnormality. Right
occipital craniotomy and underlying resection with encephalomalacia of the
right cerebellar hemisphere and edema pattern is unchanged.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Close interval follow-up is recommended to document
stability.

MRI of the brain revealed an extra-axial homogeneously enhancing
mass arising from the posterior fossa with severe mass effect
and remodeling on the upper cervical spinal cord/craniocervical
junction, most consistent with a meningioma. The patient was
admitted to the neurosurgery service for further workup and
discussion for possible surgical intervention. She was started
on dexamethasone for cerebral edema. After review of imaging and
discussions with the family, it was determined that it was not
safe to remove the entire tumor, but to take her to the OR for
debulking.
Patient was taken to the OR on ___, for posterior fossa
craniotomy and C1 resection and debulking. Patient tolerated the
procedure well, please see separate documentation in ___ for
specific details of the operative case. An EVD was placed in the
OR for management of ICP and proper wound healing. EVD was
leveled at 10cmH2O at the tragus and kept open to drain as
needed. Patient remained intubated post-operatively and was
transferred from the OR to the Neuro ICU for close neurological
monitoring. Patient with increased blood pressures requiring a
nicardipine drip in the ICU, and was closely monitored and
titrated until she was able to tolerate PO medications and was
weaned off. Patient was extubated on POD 1, ___ and tolerated
well. Post-operative CTH with expected post-operative changes
with small amounts of scattered pneumocephalus. Post-op MRI
stable to prior CTH. On POD 3 patients EVD stopped draining with
interrupted waveform, EVD catheter was flushed distally and
proximally overnight and then again in the AM. EVD began
draining slowly, however waveform continued to be poor. Patient
was transferred to the ___ on POD 3. Shortly after transfer in
the evening of ___ patient became increasingly lethargic and
had 2 episodes of emesis, Zofran was given with another episode
of emesis. Patient was sent for STAT CTH which was stable to
improved compared to prior post-operative imaging. Patient with
continued lethargy and loose stools. CXR negative for any acute
process. KUB was obtained which revealed dilated loops of bowels
however no obstruction. UA and blood cultures were ordered on

Radiology Report
STUDY: AP portable chest radiograph.
INDICATION: Assess for possible pneumothorax .
TECHNIQUE: Portable AP chest radiograph was obtained at 18:25.
COMPARISON: Same day radiograph obtained at 14:33.
REPORT:
There is a left-sided pneumothorax present. This is not changed significantly
in size from prior study. The left-sided pleural effusion is again
identified, with an air-fluid level, although this is not as well appreciated
on current study.
CONCLUSION:
Essentially unchanged left-sided pneumothorax.
Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: Apical pneumothorax after thoracoscopy, please evaluate.
COMPARISON: ___, 6:10 p.m.
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the dimension of the known
left apical pneumothorax is unchanged. The left pleural effusion has slightly
increased in extent, the area of parenchymal opacities, that preexisted on the
previous image, is slightly denser than before.
Normal appearance of the right lung. No evidence of tension.
Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: Apical pneumothorax, evaluation.
COMPARISON: ___, 10:14 p.m.
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the extent of the
pre-existing left pneumothorax is unchanged. Also unchanged is the left basal
fluid collection as well as the relatively extensive left parenchymal opacity.
No evidence of tension. Unchanged appearance of the right heart border and
the right hemithorax.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Known pneumothorax status post recent left thoracentesis, in a
patient with history of myelodysplastic syndrome.
COMPARISON: Comparison is made to multiple chest radiographs spanning from
___
TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images were acquired through the thorax without
intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images are also
reviewed.
CT CHEST WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is a moderate left hydropneumothorax,
unchanged from same-day radiograph. Pericardial and right pleural effusions
are small. The left lower lobe is notable for extensive consolidation.
Consolidation is also present, though slightly less severe, in the lingula and
posteriorly in the left upper lobe. There is a moderate amount of secretions
within the left mainstem bronchus (4:104) and extensive plugging of the lower
lobe bronchi. On the right, note is made of smooth intralobular septal
thickening, worse at the lung bases as well as diffuse areas of ground-glass
opacity. These latter findings, in addition to diffuse subcutaneous edema and
trace ascites are consistent with third spacing of fluids in anasarca. The
heart and great vessels are notable for aortic annular calcification. There
is no mediastinal or axillary lymphadenopathy by size criteria. The ascending
aorta is top normal in caliber, measuring 3.9 cm in greatest diameter.
The study is not tailored for subdiaphragmatic assessment. Within that
constraint, note is made of a small hepatic hypodensity (2:54), which is too
small to characterize. There is no suspicious sclerotic or lytic osseous

Addition, there is a peripherally enhancing, thick rimmed fluid collection
inferior to the tibial stump, measuring approximately 3.1 x 1.6 cm, slightly
smaller compared to prior (3:201). There appears to be interval increase in
osseous destruction of the distal tibial osseous stump (2:186, 400:46). There
is also increased heterogeneously hyperdense tibial intramedullary material
(2:183).
In addition, there is a new peripherally enhancing, thick rim fluid collection
along the medial aspect of the knee joint at the level of the tibial plateau
measuring approximately 1.6 x 2.3 x 2.8 cm (3:83, 400:22).
IMPRESSION:

and gram stain
COMPARISON: CT left lower extremity ___
PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided drainage of left medial collection adjacent to
the Left BKA.
OPERATORS: Dr. ___ resident and Dr. ___ radiologist.
Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the
procedure and reviewed and agree with the trainee's findings.
TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were
explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written
consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers
was performed per ___ protocol.
The patient was placed in a supine position on the US scan table. Limited
preprocedure ultrasound was performed to localize the collection. Based on
the ultrasound findings an appropriate skin entry site for the aspiration was
chosen. The site was marked. Local anesthesia was administered with 1%
Lidocaine solution.
Using continuous sonographic guidance, a 16 gauge straight needle was advanced
into the collection. A sample of fluid was aspirated.
Approximately 3 cc of initially yellow then bloody fluid was drained with a
sample sent for microbiology evaluation. Sterile dressing was applied.
The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate post-procedural
complications.
SEDATION: Local sedation with lidocaine only.
FINDINGS:
Redemonstration of a 4.8 x 3.1 x 1.8 cm heterogeneous complex fluid collection
in the left medial knee. Approximately 3 cc of initially yellowish, than
bloody fluid was drained. The initially yellow color may be secondary to
foaming from suction. Post images demonstrate near resolution of the fluid

___ Projected End Date: ___ with daptomycin and
ciprofloxacin who presented after increased left stump pain
found to have new left leg abscess.
# Left stump pain with abscess and osteomyelitis: Patient
presented with increased left stump pain for two days. He has
been on daptomycin/ciprofloxacin since ___ for abscess and
tibial osteomyelitis (fluid collection were likely sterilized
prior to collection). He has a history of MRSA bacteremia with
bilateral lower extremity osteomyelitis that required bilateral
BKAs so he was discharged on daptomycin/ciprofloxacin (allergy
to vancomycin) for 6 week course. Representation with increased
pain, swelling, chills. CT done ___ ED was concerning for new
abscess and worsening osteomyelitis. There was worry for failure
of antibiotic therapy likely d/t lack of source control or gram
negative or polymicrobial infection that is not covered by
Cipro. His CRP and ESR were not elevated but he had been
experiencing rapid fluctuations ___ blood sugar and increased
lactate upon arrival was worrisome for inflammatory process. ID
was consulted and recommended ___ drainage of abscess. Fluid from
abscess was sent and had GPCs and GPRs on gram stain but did not
grow on culture likely d/t antibiotic therapy. He went for I&D
of medial abscess with vascular surgery on ___. Drainage
was bloody and old clots. Suggesting possible infected hematoma.
This fluid also didn't grow on culture. Wound from I&D was left
open to heal by secondary intention. Since only gram positive
organisms were seen on gram stain he was switched to monotherapy
with daptomycin. He will follow up with vascular surgery and ID
closely after discharge. Pt will need weekly OPAT labs drawn
and sent to ___ clinic for safety monitoring, instructions faxed
to ___ on ___. ___ addition, he will have wound care by
___ as an outpatient.
#Increased phantom limb pain : Pain was described as shooting
pain that runs up from phantom foot, behind his keen and up to
his hip. The pain was severe and sharp and causes a "pop rocks"
sensation. Description seemed consistent with neuropathic pain
possibly increased by irritation from worsening infection ___
stump or compression from new abscess. He had taken gabapentin
and lyrica ___ the past and both didn't help. Amitriptyline
helped but made him fatigued. We discussed with patient the
other options for neuropathic pain such as duloxetine or
restarting amitriptyline. He was interested ___ trying duloxetine
for his neuropathic pain. It was started while he was admitted.
His pain was difficult to control and he was started on
duloxetine, naproxen 500mg BID, Tylenol, lidocaine patch,
capsasin cream, and dilaudid. He was discharged with a small
dose of dilaudid with plan for aggressive wean off as the wound
heals. He was scheduled to see his PCP for pain control and
will follow up with chronic pain as an outpatient.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CTA CHEST WITH CONTRAST
INDICATION: History: ___ with 10-hour plane ride, left lower extremity
swelling, positive d-dimer, chest tightness and hemoptysis// DVT? Pulmonary
embolus
TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax
after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast. Reformatted
coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal intensity
projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Stationary Acquisition 3.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 18.2 mGy (Body) DLP =
9.1 mGy-cm.
2) Spiral Acquisition 3.3 s, 26.3 cm; CTDIvol = 10.8 mGy (Body) DLP = 283.6
mGy-cm.
3) Spiral Acquisition 0.8 s, 6.4 cm; CTDIvol = 9.5 mGy (Body) DLP = 60.3
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 353 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None
FINDINGS:
HEART AND VASCULATURE: Pulmonary vasculature is well opacified to the
subsegmental level without filling defect to indicate a pulmonary embolus. The
thoracic aorta is normal in caliber without evidence of dissection or
intramural hematoma. The heart, pericardium, and great vessels are within
normal limits. No pericardial effusion is seen.
AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: No axillary, mediastinal, or hilar
lymphadenopathy is present. No mediastinal mass.
Minimal anterior mediastinal soft tissue density likely reflects thymic
hyperplasia.
PLEURAL SPACES: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
LUNGS/AIRWAYS: Focal heterogeneous hypo dense consolidative opacity in the
right lower lobe is concerning for an area of pneumonia. 3 mm left lower lobe
pulmonary nodule (3:126), and 2 mm right lower lobe pulmonary nodule (3:132)
are noted. There is mild airway wall thickening. The airways are patent to
the level of the segmental bronchi bilaterally.
BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality.
ABDOMEN: Included portion of the upper abdomen is unremarkable.
BONES: No suspicious osseous abnormality is seen.? There is no acute fracture.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism or aortic abnormality.
2. Focal area of hypoattenuation within the right lower lobe concerning for
pneumonia.
3. Mild airway wall thickening suggestive of mild bronchitis.
4. Bilateral lower lobe pulmonary nodules measuring up to 3 mm. Please see
recommendations below.
RECOMMENDATION(S): For incidentally detected multiple solid pulmonary nodules
smaller than 6mm, no CT follow-up is recommended in a low-risk patient, and an
optional CT follow-up in 12 months is recommended in a high-risk patient.

Radiology Report
CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ woman with CHF and diabetes type 2, status post
transplant, now with worsening shortness of breath.
COMPARISON: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images were acquired through the thorax in the absence of
intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were also reviewed.
FINDINGS: Low lung volumes bilaterally as well as diffuse ground-glass
densities in a dependent distribution are consistent with pulmonary edema.
Vascular engorgement and thickening of the septal lines also reflect pulmonary
edema. Small right and trace left pleural effusion with adjacent compressive
atelectasis are present. Additionally, at the major fissures bilaterally,
there are nodular opacities (4:73).
There is no pericardial effusion, however their is moderate cardiomegaly.
Calcifications of the LAD, left circumflex as well as right circumflex artery
are prominent as well as atherosclerotic calcifications of the aortic arch and
great vessels. Scattered mediastinal lymph nodes are again present, the
largest in the precarinal station measuring up to 16 mm in cross-sectional
diameter, larger than on the ___ study. Additional right-sided
paratracheal node (2:15) is also larger than similarly placed node in the ___
study.
Exam is not tailored for subdiaphragmatic evaluation; however, no gross
abnormalities are noted.
No suspicious lytic or blastic lesions of the bony structures are noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. Bilateral pulmonary ground-glass densities along with septal thickening
consistent with pulmonary edema. Small right and trace left-sided pleural
effusion.
2. Extensive coronary artery calcifications.
3. Fissural opacities most likely atelectasis, however nodules cannot be
ruled out. Follow up scan in 3 months to ensure resolution is recommended.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ woman, status post cadaveric renal transplant with
diastolic CHF, presenting with worsening shortness of breath, please evaluate
for renal artery stenosis of transplant.
COMPARISONS: ___.
FINDINGS: The native right kidney measures 6.9 cm. The native left kidney
measures 7.2 cm. Both native kidneys are diffusely echogenic.
The transplanted kidney measures 11.3 cm. An ill-defined hypoechoic hematoma
seen adjacent to the renal upper pole in ___ is no longer present.
SPECTRAL DOPPLER EVALUATION: The main renal vein is patent. The main renal
artery is patent with a sharp upstroke and peak systolic velocity of 67
cm/sec. There is no diastolic flow in the main renal artery or the upper,
mid, and lower interpolar renal arteries. Therefore, the resulting resistive
indices approach 1. The upstrokes of the interpolar arterial waveforms are
sharp.
IMPRESSION:
1. Absence of diastolic flow in the main and interpolar renal arteries is
similar to ___. This is a nonspecific finding of parenchymal processes
including rejection.
2. Sharp arterial upstrokes. No evidence of renal artery stenosis.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ woman with new 41 cm right PICC.
COMPARISON: PA and lateral chest radiograph from ___.
FINDINGS: A right PICC catheter tip courses inferior to the right IJ. The
tip is not identified on this study. Since the prior study, moderate
pulmonary edema is stable. There is no focal consolidation or pleural
effusion. Retrocardiac opacity most likely atelectasis. Cardiomediastinal
silhouette is enlarged but unchanged.
IMPRESSION: Right PICC catheter tip malpositioned in the right IJ. Recommend
repositioning.
These findings were discussed with ___, IV nurse by Dr. ___ at
9:45am.
Radiology Report
STUDY: Left tib/fib, ___.
CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ woman with CHF exacerbation, now with tibial
pain. Evaluate for structural abnormality.
FINDINGS: No displaced fractures or dislocations are seen. Within the
lateral tibial plateau, there is a band of sclerosis. This is nonspecific but
can be seen in the setting of insufficiency fracture. If there is high
concern for knee pain, an MRI is recommended. The tibial shaft appears intact
without abnormal periosteal reaction or definite fractures. The fibular shaft
is also normal. Soft tissues about the lower leg are intact. There are
moderate-to-severe degenerative changes of patellofemoral compartment with
prominent superior osteophyte. There is also a prominent 13-mm loose body
within the posteromedial aspect of the knee joint.
IMPRESSION:
1. Irregularity of the lateral tibial plateau, which could represent a stress
fracture in the correct clinical setting. If there is high concern, an MRI
would be helpful.
2. Degeneratives of the patellofemoral compartment with medial 13 mm loose
body.

transplant, with multiple recent admissions for SOB attributed
to decompensated heart failure, now re-presenting with worsening
dyspnea.
# SOB/dyspnea/hypoxia- Patient has had multiple episodes of
flash pulmonary edema with the acute onset of shortness of
breath with evidence of volume overload on exam. She has been
difficult to diurese secondary to worsening renal function s/p
transplant.
During this admission, while diuresing patient on lasix gtt,
other underlying causes for shortness of breath were explored.
CT of the chest did not show any evidence of interstitial lung
disease or other intrapulmonary processes. She was noted to
have some pulmonary hypertension on echocardiogram, however this
was more likely related to volume overload with elevated left
sided pressures. Pulmonary was consulted and recommended
re-trying CPAP, as patient had severe OSA on a past sleep study
___ years prior. Patient tolerated CPAP well.
In addition, patient was ruled out for acute coronary
syndrome with negative cardiac enzymes x 3, stable EKG, and
normal stress test.
Patient was diuresed on lasix gtt and lung crackles,
shortness of breath, and hypoxia resolved. Once euvolemic, she
was transitioned to oral torsemide 100mg daily. She maintained
weights and her ins and outs were even on this dose.
# ESRD s/p transplant- Baseline creatinine was 2.0-2.4, which
has steadily risen during the last 3 admission. Urine sediment
has been bland, supporting more hemodynamic instability and poor
forward flow, as underlying cause of worsening renal function.
Ultrasound of transplanted kidney showed no evidence of arterial
stenosis or rejection. Tacrolimus levels were monitored
throughout admission, and tacrolimus was titrated to goal trough
___. Patient was continued on mycophenolate mofetil as well.
With lasix gtt, creatinine began to downtrend, likely due to
improved renal perfusion. Creatinine was slightly increased to
4.5 on torsemide, and renal was aware. She will follow up
closely with her nephrologist.
# Diastolic heart failure- As above, decompensated heart failure
drove shortness of breath and hypoxia. Ruled out for acute
ischemic event causing decompensation. no clear precipitating
factor for decompensation identified. Patient was diuresed on
lasix gtt. Medical management of CHF was altered to decrease
risk of ischemia; carvedilol was switched to metoprolol and
isosorbide mononitrate was started. Amlodipine was also
discontinued as blood pressures were well controlled on the
above regimen.
# Left leg pain- Patient complained of left leg pain, with point
tenderness along tibia. X-ray showed no acute fracture. She
was able to bear weight on the leg, and pain improved with
standing tylenol ___ TID which should continue until pain
improves.
# CAD s/p DES to RCA- As above, ruled out for acute ischemic
event. Continued aspirin 81mg daily and atorvastatin.
# DMII- Patient's blood sugars have been very labile during past
admissions, with hypoglycemic episodes. ___ followed closely
during last admission with several changes, including
discontinuing NPH BID and starting lantus 12 units qHS and
repaglinide with humalog sliding scale. Patient was continued on
this regimen and blood sugars remained stable. No changes were
made to this regimen.

focus which may represent previously seen calculus. Non dependent hyperechoic
foci may reflect intraluminal gas. There is some gallbladder wall thickening
asymmetrically more marked along the anterior wall of the gallbladder. The
cholecystostomy tube, although seen in the subcutaneous tissues in the right
upper quadrant, is not definitively seen within the gallbladder.
PANCREAS: The pancreas is not well visualized, largely obscured by overlying
bowel gas.
SPLEEN: Normal echogenicity, measuring 13.1 cm.
KIDNEYS: Limited views of the right kidney show no hydronephrosis.
RETROPERITONEUM: The visualized portions of aorta and IVC are within normal
limits.
IMPRESSION:
1. The cholecystostomy tube, although seen in the subcutaneous tissues in the
right upper quadrant, is not definitively seen within the gallbladder and may
have dislodged.
2. The gallbladder is mildly distended with mild asymmetric wall thickening
compatible with known cholecystitis.
3. The gallbladder contains an echogenic focus near the neck of the
gallbladder which may represent previously seen gallstone.
4. Dilation of the common bowel duct measuring 10 mm is new since the prior
study.
5. Borderline splenomegaly.
RECOMMENDATION(S): CT or fluoroscopic tube study recommended to confirm
placement of the cholecystostomy tube.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: T-TUBE CHOLANGIO (POST-OP)
INDICATION: ___ year old man with biliary drain not draining// ?drian
occlusion
TECHNIQUE: Water soluble contrast was hand injected into the pre-existing
cholecystostomy tube. Selected fluoroscopic images were obtained.
DOSE: Acc air kerma: 39 mGy; Accum DAP: 770.1 uGym2; Fluoro time: 2:38
minutes
COMPARISON: Comparison includes ultrasound of gallbladder and liver.
FINDINGS:
A scout film was taken that demonstrated the tip of the gallbladder drain
projecting over the right flank at the level of the abdominal wall.
Injection of a small quantity of contrast opacified a short tract deep to this
however this does not extend to the gallbladder.
IMPRESSION:
Cholecystostomy tube has displaced with the tip at the level of the right
lateral abdominal wall.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRCP
INDICATION: ___ y/o M w/ dislodged percutaneous cholecystostomy tube, possible
gallstone at neck of gallbladder, evaluate for obstructed cystic duct
TECHNIQUE: T1- and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen were
acquired in a 1.5 T magnet.
Intravenous contrast: 17 mL Gadavist.
Oral contrast: 1 cc of Gadavist mixed with 50 cc of water was administered
for oral contrast.
COMPARISON: T2 cholangiogram ___, right upper quadrant ultrasound
___, MRCP ___, reference torso CT ___
FINDINGS:
Lower Thorax: There are trace bilateral pleural effusions. Right basilar
atelectasis is noted. Heart is mildly enlarged.
Liver: The liver demonstrates a cirrhotic morphology. No focal hepatic
lesions are seen. There is small volume perihepatic and perisplenic ascites,
similar to prior.
Biliary: Gallbladder has decreased in size compared to prior and is now
minimally distended with layering sludge. Again seen is a 2.0 x 1.8 cm stone
in the gallbladder neck. There is been interval resolution of gallbladder
wall thickening and edema. Focal irregularity along the lateral aspect of the
gallbladder is where the percutaneous cholecystostomy tube entered (series 2,
image 24). No pericholecystic fluid collection/biloma is seen to suggest a
leak from the cholecystostomy site.
There is no intrahepatic biliary duct dilation. Common bile duct is mildly
dilated up to 1.0 cm without evidence of choledocholithiasis. Previously
identified 0.2 cm stone in the mid common bile duct is not well seen.
Pancreas: Pancreas is without focal lesions or duct dilation.
Spleen: Spleen is normal in size and signal intensity.
Adrenal Glands: The right and left adrenal glands are unremarkable.
Kidneys: The kidneys are symmetric in size. There are bilateral simple renal
cysts, the largest measures 1.4 x 1.4 cm in the interpolar right kidney.
There is no hydronephrosis. There are no suspicious renal lesions.
Gastrointestinal Tract: There is a small hiatal hernia. Roux-en-Y anatomy is
noted. There is no bowel obstruction.
Lymph Nodes: There are no enlarged mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes.
Vasculature: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Aneurysmal dilation of
the celiac trunk up to 2.1 cm is unchanged. Hepatic arterial anatomy is
conventional. The portal vein is patent. There are extensive intra-abdominal
and paraesophageal varices.
Osseous and Soft Tissue Structures: There is no suspicious bony lesion. There
is a small fat and fluid containing umbilical hernia.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval improvement in the appearance of the gallbladder now partially
distended with layering sludge. Persistent 2.0 cm stone in the gallbladder
neck. No wall thickening or edema to suggest acute cholecystitis.
2. No pericholecystic fluid collection to suggest bile leak.
3. Cirrhotic liver morphology with small volume ascites and
intra-abdominal/paraesophageal varices.
4. Unchanged fusiform dilation of the celiac trunk.
NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___

PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous cholecystostomy.
OPERATORS: Dr. ___, radiology trainee and Dr. ___
___, MD, attending radiologist. Dr. ___, MD personally
supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed
and agrees with the trainee's findings.
TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were
explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written
consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers
was performed per ___ protocol.
The patient was placed in a supine position on the ultrasound table. Limited
preprocedure imaging was performed to localize the gallbladder. An
appropriate skin entry site was chosen and the site marked. Local anesthesia
was administered with 1% Lidocaine solution.
Using continuous sonographic guidance, an ___ Exodus drainage catheter
was advanced via trocar technique into the gallbladder. The pigtail of
catheter could not be visualized adequately and so the patient was transferred
to CT to evaluate tube position.
Noncontrast enhanced CT of the upper abdomen was obtained.
CT study demonstrated bilateral small pleural effusions and bibasilar linear
atelectasis. Again visualized was a cirrhotic morphology of the liver with
perihepatic and perisplenic ascites. The percutaneously placed
cholecystostomy tube was noted to be positioned beyond the gallbladder
abutting the hepatic flexure of the colon closely. The pigtail was noted to
be outside the gallbladder. The gallbladder wall was inflamed with a single
calculus in the neck of the gallbladder. Pericholecystic stranding of fat
suggested on going inflammation and acute cholecystitis. A decision to
attempt repositioning of this catheter was made. The catheter was cut and an
attempt at unfolding the catheter was made. However following multiple
attempts the catheter could not be uncoiled safely and pulled back into the
gallbladder. Injection of dilute contrast demonstrated no free leak into the
peritoneal cavity. The contrast collected within the gallbladder itself
suggesting at least partial side-hole positioning within the gallbladder. At
this point the tube was also freely draining bile. There was no free
intraperitoneal air to suggest colonic perforation. We stabilized the
percutaneous pigtail catheter by a butterfly StatLock on the skin and clamped
the tube tip.
Additional incidental findings on the CT of the upper abdomen demonstrated no
hematoma or increase in ascites. Detailed evaluation of the abdomen is
limited by lack of intravenous contrast.
I contacted Dr. ___, MD the surgical attending taking care of this
patient stat. A decision was made to transfer the patient to surgery for
laparoscopic removal of the percutaneously placed catheter. The patient was
started on vancomycin IV for rigors that he developed while on table. The
patient was transferred to the surgical ICU in hemodynamically stable
condition.
SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of
100 mcg fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of 25 minutes during
which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an
independent trained radiology nurse.
FINDINGS:
The pigtail portion of the drainage catheter was noted to be outside the
gallbladder, located between the gallbladder and the hepatic flexure of the
colon. No hematoma or biloma noted surrounding the gallbladder. Please see
detailed description of above for subsequent management.
IMPRESSION:
Percutaneous placement of a cholecystostomy tube into the gallbladder was
attempted. The pigtail of the cholecystostomy tube was noted to be outside

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST PORT LINE/TUBE PLCT 1 EXAM
INDICATION: ___ year old man with sepsis and intubation// ?ETT and OG
placement
IMPRESSION:
The endotracheal tube tip lies approximately 3.5 cm above the carina.
Orogastric tube extends to the stomach, though the side port is at or above
the esophagogastric junction. It should be pushed forward at least 5-8 cm.
When compared with the study of ___, there are much lower lung
volumes, which, in addition to the supine rather than upright position of the
patient, may account for the the substantial increase in the transverse
diameter of the heart and with the mediastinum.
No evidence of pulmonary vascular congestion. Although no discrete
consolidation is appreciated, given the low lung volumes and size of the
cardiac silhouette, it would be impossible to exclude superimposed
pneumonia/aspiration in the appropriate clinical setting, especially in the
absence of a lateral view.

IMPRESSION:
In comparison with the study of ___, the monitoring and support
devices are unchanged. Again there is substantial enlargement of the cardiac
silhouette with pulmonary vascular congestion and bilateral layering pleural
effusions with compressive atelectasis at the bases.
Given the extensive changes described above, would be very difficult to
exclude superimposed aspiration/pneumonia in the appropriate clinical setting,
especially in the absence of a lateral view.

sbp: 101.0
dbp: 59.0
level of pain: 0
level of acuity: 2.0 | Mr. ___ is a ___ old man with a history of
cholecystitis and atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular
response and recent cardiac ablation, who presented ot the ED on
___ when he noted that his percutaneous cholecystostomy
tube had been dislodged. He did get a drain study in the ED,
which noted the cholecystostomy tube in his subcutaneous tissue.
He was admitted to the hospital thereafter because he felt
uncomfortable, but that this point he was afebrile with stable
vital signs within normal limits, he had no abdominal
tenderness, and he had normal LFTs. Interventional radiology was
consulted for replacement of the perc chole tube, but given that
he had normal labs and was asymptomatic and they were hesitant
about reinserting the tube, we agreed to obtain an MRCP to
discern if the cystic duct was still obstructed and that he
would still need gallbladder drainage.
On HD#2, he received 2 units of FFP for elevated INR (patient
takes Coumadin at home for afib), and MRCP was performed showing
persistent obstruction of cystic duct. Overnight, he developed
afib with RVR, and was treated with IV metoprolol.
On HD#3, he was triggered for Afib RVR and hypotention requiring
fluid bolus, IV metoprolol, and IV diltiazem. He was given
another 1U FFP and 10mg IV vitamin K to reverse his INR. With
the development of Afib RVR, Mr. ___ then also started to
appear diaphoretic, and he did develop some abdominal pain. At
this point, since his clinical picture appeared to be trending
towards sepsis/recurrent cholecystitis, he was taken urgently to
___ for replacement of the cholecystostomy tube. At this point he
was also started on antibiotics. For full details of this
procedure, please refer to the separately dictated procedure
note. Briefly, the cholecystostomy tube appeared to be inserted
through and through the gallbladder and there was some concern
of other visceral organ penetrance as there was difficulty
withdrawing the tube. He did also develop rigoring and continued
to be in rapid ventricular response from afib. He was
transferred emergently to the ICU for resuscitation where he was
intubated, got an arterial line and central line, and was then
taken to the operating room for exploratory laparoscopy. He
underwent an exploratory laparoscopy, right upper quadrant
washout, removal and replacement of percutaneous
cholecystostomy, and midline would vac placement. He appeared to
tolerated the procedure well, but was on a low dose of
neosynephrine drip by the end of the case, so remained intubated
and was transferred back to the ICU for further monitoring. For
full details of this procedure, please refer to the separately
dictated operative report. He was started on an amiodarone drip
overnight for improved rate control with good effect.
On POD#1, as he was still on vasopressor, this was changed from
neosynephrine to levophed for presumed sepsis. He was weaned to
minimal ventilator settings.
On POD#2, he was weaned off of levophed. He was extubated
without issue. He started to trial a clear liquid diet which he
tolerated well. His amiodarone drip was transitioned to PO;
however, he then briefly required a diltiazem drip for rate
control. He was changed to PO overnight. He was briefly on
neosynephrine again overnight, but this was weaned off by POD#3.
On POD#3, his PO diltiazem was increased in dosage. He was
allowed to have a regular diet, which he tolerated well. His
wound vac was changed and the base appeared to be clean and
healing well. His foley was discontinued, along with his
arterial line and central line. He was restarted on his home
Coumadin. At this point, he was deemed stable for transfer to
the floor.
POD4 the patient completed course of antibiotics. Physical
therapy worked with the patient and was recommending rehab. The
patient continued to have episodes of atrial fibrillation with
RVR. Cardiology was uptitrating medications without good effect
in controlling heart rate. The patient was also having episodes
of hypotension, which were responsive to fluid resuscitation.
Given the inability to control the patient's rates with
antiarrhythmics and nodal blockade, cardiology opted to proceed
with TEE due to subtherapeutic INR ___ followed by DC
cardioversion. On ___, the patient underwent successful DC
cardioversion, which he tolerated well. Post cardioversion, the
patient was in normal sinus rhythm. He resumed his home AF
regimen of digoxin and amiodarone, and was educated on the
importance of maintaining a therapeutic INR and cardiology
follow-up.
Physical therapy re-evaluated the patient and he was cleared for
discharge home with ___. During this hospitalization, the
patient ambulated early and frequently, was adherent with
respiratory toilet and incentive spirometry, and actively
participated in the plan of care. The patient received
subcutaneous heparin until INR was therapeutic, and venodyne
boots were used during this stay.
At the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile
with stable vital signs. The patient was tolerating a regular
diet, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain was well
controlled. The percutaneous cholecystostomy tube was draining
bile and the patient's surgical wound was filling in with
healthy granulation tissue. The JP drain was draining
serosanguinous fluid. The patient was discharged home with ___
services for wound VAC care and drain care. The patient and his
partner received discharge teaching and follow-up instructions
with understanding verbalized and agreement with the discharge
plan. |

CT LOW EXT W/O C RIGHT Study Date of ___ 11:51 AM
Final Report/FINDINGS:
There is patchy demineralization of the osseous structures,
possibly related to disuse. Redemonstrated is a mildly displaced
oblique fracture of the latter malleolus status post ORIF with a
laterally applied plate, multiple fixation screws and 3
syndesmotic screws. There is associated metallic artifact which
partially obscures adjacent structures, however study remains
diagnostic. Within differences in techniques, the alignment is
unchanged. There is no significant osseous bridging seen in the
fracture. There is a mildly displaced minimally comminuted
transverse fracture of the medial malleolus at the level of the
tibiotalar joint, without significant osseous bridging or callus
formation. The additionally there is a small mildly displaced
posterior malleolus fracture, without significant healing.
Remote posttraumatic osseous changes are seen in the region of
the distal syndesmosis. There is a small tibiotalar joint
effusion. Mild thickening of the distal Achilles tendon
suggestive of tendinosis. There is a moderate-sized dorsal
calcaneal enthesophyte. There is a corticated ossicle at the
dorsal aspect of
the naviculocuneiform joint suggestive of remote trauma or
normal variant. There are mild degenerative changes about the
midfoot.
There is mild-to-moderate atrophy of the musculature. Extensive
vascular
calcifications. Mild diffuse soft tissue edema. No evidence
for
musculotendinous entrapment. Coarse calcification seen in the
peroneus longus tendon at the level of the calcaneocuboid
groove, consistent with prior partial-thickness injury.
IMPRESSION: Trimalleolar right ankle fracture status post ORIF,
in near anatomic alignment without evidence for hardware
complication. No evidence of osseous bridging or significant
callus formation.
CHEST (PA & LAT) Study Date of ___ 10:24 AM
Final Report/FINDINGS:
There has been interval removal of the enteric tube. A right IJ
central
venous catheter terminates in the low SVC, unchanged. Lung
volumes are low with bibasilar airspace opacities. Rib
deformities of the posterior left sixth, seventh, and eighth
ribs are related to prior fractures, unchanged from prior
studies. There is mild pulmonary vascular congestion with
minimal residual interstitial pulmonary edema, overall improved
from the prior study. Pleural effusions are small, if present
at all. There is no pneumothorax. The cardiomediastinal
silhouette is unchanged.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval improvement in pulmonary vascular congestion, now
mild with
minimal residual interstitial pulmonary edema and small pleural
effusions, if present at all. No pneumothorax.
2. Bibasilar airspace opacities may represent atelectasis in the
setting of low lung volumes, however superimposed infection is
difficult to exclude.

History of Present Illness:
HPI:
EU Critical ___ is a ___ old woman with a
history of hypertension and partial gastrectomy who was brought
to OSH after she was found aphasic and received tPA.
History was obtained from the EMS run report, stroke fellow and
daughter-in-law.
She was last seen by her family this morning at church. There,
she seemed tired and run down but with no focal deficits. Her
friends tried to persuade her to go out to lunch with them but
she declined because she wanted to go home and rest. She drove
home alone and on the way home she stopped at a liquor store to
purchase wine. She had trouble starting her car again and so
went
to the ___ and asked them for help; she could
not subsequently speak intelligibly. This happened at 12:45 ___.
The ___ Police called EMS. (Of note, her daughter-in-law read
the police report which also commented that Ms. ___ was driving
up onto the curb prior to arriving at the liquor store, but the
details of this are unknown.) EMS noted that she was in atrial
fibrillation, with minimal speech output and inability to follow
commands. She was taken to ___.
There, a telestroke was called. Her NIHSS was 5 for severe
aphasia, dysarthria, and disorientation. She was initially
hypertensive to 210/120 and was started on nicardipine with good
response, SBP 160-170s. Her son was consented and she received
the tPA bolus at 1402. After the tPA, she had more prolific
speech output but still was unable to comprehend commands or
questions and her sentences were sometime nonsensical. She was
transported to ___ for post-stroke care. However, while en
route she had a seizure which started with rightward eye version
and head deviation followed by generalized tonic clonic activity
with a tongue bite. She was brought back to ___ where she was
loaded with keppra and intubated. She had another head CT which
was unchanged. Her tPA was stopped for a period of time and then
restarted after discussion with ___ stroke fellow. Her
nicardapine was weaned off and her blood pressure has remained
below 180/90.
On arrival in our ED she was intubated and sedated. Her blood
pressure was 185/75 but decreased without intervention. She
underwent CT/CTA head and neck which showed no hemorrhage or
vessel cutoff. She was admitted to the ICU.
According to her family, she has never had symptoms like this
before. She has never had a stroke or a seizure before. They do
not think she has had atrial fibrillation before. She has been
having a tough time recently because her brother died two weeks
ago and then his wife died two days ago. Ms. ___ has responded
to
this by drinking more wine. She has a longstanding history of
being a functional alcoholic; however she has been drinking more
and falling asleep drunk every night. She typically takes her
antihypertensives but her daughter in law cannot be sure that
she
has taken them recently given her frequent drinking.
Review of systems was notable as above; could not otherwise be
obtained.

matter hypodensities, which may be a sequela of chronic small vessel
microangiopathy. There is mucosal opacification of bilateral sphenoid
sinuses. The remaining paranasal sinuses and bilateral mastoid air cells
appear clear. There is a secretions within the nasopharynx, likely from
intubation.
CTA HEAD:
The major vessels of the circle of ___ and the principal intracranial
vasculature are patent. There is no stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm
formation greater than 3 mm. The moderate atherosclerotic vascular
calcifications of the cavernous segments of bilateral internal carotid
arteries without flow-limiting stenosis. There is a left dominant vertebral
artery. The major dural venous sinuses are patent.
CTA NECK:
There is a common origin of the brachiocephalic and left common carotid
artery. There is atherosclerotic vascular calcifications at the aortic arch.
There are atherosclerotic calcifications at bilateral carotid siphons.
Otherwise, bilateral common, internal, and vertebral arteries are patent
without stenosis or occlusion per NASCET criteria. There is no evidence of
dissection. There are vascular calcifications of bilateral subclavian
arteries without stenosis.
OTHER:
Endotracheal tube and feeding tube are visualized. Dental hardware with
associated streak artifacts limit evaluation of the adjacent structures.
There are mild centrilobular emphysematous changes with trace bilateral
pleural effusions with adjacent pleural-parenchymal scarring and atelectasis.
There is asymmetric enlargement of the left thyroid gland with atrophy on the
right. There are multilevel degenerative changes of the cervical spine with
anterolisthesis at C4-C5 with loss of disc height at C5-C6.
IMPRESSION:

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP)
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with stroke/seizure, now intubated. // please
evaluate ETT please evaluate ETT
IMPRESSION:
Compared to chest radiographs ___.
Previous mild pulmonary edema has cleared, but moderate to severe cardiomegaly
is unchanged. No appreciable pleural effusion. No pneumothorax.
Tip of the endotracheal tube with the chin flexed, though only 2.5 cm from the
carina is probably acceptable. Nasogastric drainage tube passes into the
stomach and out of view.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with history of HTN and? new onset afib who
presents with acute onset of aphasia; several hours later had seizure. //
please evaluate for stroke
TECHNIQUE: MRI of the brain is performed and includes the following
sequences: sagittal T1-weighted, axial fast spin echo T2-weighted, axial
FLAIR, axial diffusion weighted and axial gradient echo images.
COMPARISON: Prior CTA of the head and neck dated ___.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass, mass effect or
shifting of the normally midline structures. The ventricles and sulci are
slightly prominent, likely age related and involutional in nature. Confluent
and scattered areas of high-signal intensity are detected on FLAIR and T2
weighted images, which are nonspecific and may reflect changes due to small
vessel disease. No diffusion abnormalities are detected to indicate acute or
subacute ischemic changes. The major vascular flow voids are present and
demonstrate normal distribution. The paranasal sinuses are notable for
mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinus and anterior ethmoidal air cells, the
mastoid air cells are clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. There is no evidence acute intracranial process or hemorrhage. Scattered
foci and areas of T2/ FLAIR high-signal intensity are seen in the subcortical
and periventricular white matter, which are nonspecific and may reflect
changes due to small vessel disease.
2. Mucosal thickening is identified in the sphenoid sinus and anterior
ethmoidal air cells, suggesting an ongoing inflammatory process.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: Evaluation of patient with history of colon cancer status post
multiple resections with peritoneal carcinomatosis with nausea and vomiting.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis from ___ and CT torso from ___.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images were obtained from the base of the
lungs to pubic symphysis after administration of oral contrast and intravenous
contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images were prepared and reviewed.
FINDINGS:
CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITH IV CONTRAST:
The visualized lung bases demonstrate minor atelectatic changes. A duodenal
stent appears in place. However, there is dilatation of the loops of small
bowel up to 4.1 cm with multiple air-fluid levels consistent with a small
bowel obstruction. The point of transition is in the right hemi-abdomen just
inferior to the previously visualized collection (2:43). The patient is
status post right colectomy. Post-surgical changes are also noted in the
transverse colon. Otherwise, the remainder of the colon appears decompressed.
While the liver itself is normal in appearance, hyperenhancement is again
noted along its capsule, in consistent with peritoneal carcinomatosis as seen
previously. Well-defined stable implant is again noted anterior to liver
measuring 1.6 cm x 1.1 cm (2:8). Previously visualized fluid collection
inferior to the right lobe of the liver is decreased in size and now measures
4.4 x 0.9 cm compared to 9.2 x 2.8 cm previously and the pigtail catheter has
since been removed. It is again worth noting that this collection is adjacent
to the point of likely obstruction and demonstrates rim enhancement which may
be representative of carcinomatosis.
The spleen is enlarged at 14.9 cm. A splenule is again noted adjacent to the
hilum. The pancreas, bilateral adrenal glands, and bilateral kidneys are
normal. The gallbladder demonstrates chronic wall thickening as seen
previously. A paraduodenal hyperenhancing mass is again identified measuring
4.4 x 1.9 cm and is stable in comparison to prior study. Numerous nodules are
again visualized throughout the mesentery and suggestive of lymph nodes or
mesenteric foci. Hyperenhancing metastatic foci are again noted in the
anterior abdominal wall extending to the umbilicus as seen previously (2:46).
CT OF THE PELVIS WITH ORAL AND IV CONTRAST: The bladder and prostate are
unremarkable. A 3.5 x 1.4 cm enhancing mass is again noted between the rectum
and the prostate, not significantly changed in comparison to prior study.
There is mild rectal wall thickening adjacent to this mass.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There are no lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions
suspicious for malignancy.
IMPRESSION:
1. Small-bowel obstruction with a point of transition in the right
hemiabdomen and adjacent to the previously visualized collection and tumoral
enhancement.
2. Previously visualized subhepatic right upper quadrant collection has
decreased in size and now measures 4.5 x 0.9 cm compared to 9.3 x 2.8 cm
previously. The previously visualized pigtail catheter has been removed.
3. Stable appearance of peritoneal carcinomatosis as well as anterior
abdominal wall extension near the umbilicus.

COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: There has been interval placement of a left upper extremity PICC,
the tip is located at the cavoatrial junction. A right chest MediPort tip is
in the cavoatrial. The lungs are well expanded and clear. There is no
pleural effusion, or pneumothorax. The cardiac silhouette and mediastinal
contours are normal.
IMPRESSION: Interval left upper extremity PICC placement with the tip at the
cavoatrial junction.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Patient with metastatic colon cancer.
COMPARISON: CT of the abdomen and pelvis from ___, ___, PET CT from ___ and CT of the torso from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous MDCT images through the abdomen and pelvis were
performed after administration of intravenous contrast. Axial,
coronal and sagittal reformats were acquired.
FINDINGS:
CT OF THE ABDOMEN:
There is a 10 x 15 mm anterobasal segment pulmonary nodule or epicardial lymph
node, new compared to the prior study on ___, but unchanged from
___.
Again seen is enhancement surrounding the liver consistent with peritoneal
carcinomatosis.
There are no focal liver lesions. Re-demonstrated is a duodenal stent,
centered within the horizontal portion of the duodenum. No oral contrast is
seen in the distal esophagus, stomach, small or large bowel.
A large duodenal mass is again seen involving the gallbladder and early
extension into the retroperitoneum. The mass has decreased overall since ___, however, since ___, there is a slightly increased mild right
hydronephrosis and proximal hydroureter. There is delayed excretion of IV
contrast at the right kidney. The duodenal tumor mass extends from the
duodenum into the right lower quadrant causing the small-bowel obstruction by
encasing a right lower quadrant small bowel loop (series 2, image 51) and
extending anteriorly into the rectus muscle (L>R), umbilicus and linea ___.
There is interval progression of the small-bowel obstruction with small bowel
loops now dilated up to 5.3 from previously 4.1 cm (___)
The pancreas is normal. The spleen is of borderline in size measuring 14 cm,
unchanged from the prior study. Both adrenal glands and left kidney are
normal.
There is no retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. There are scattered mesenteric
lymph nodes, measuring up to 8 mm. This is unchanged from prior study.
There is enhancing tumor mass extending essentially from the duodenum
surrounding the proximal portion of the stent into the right lower quadrant
(series 2, image 50) and into the anterior abdominal wall at
the linea ___ (series 2, image 52) casing small bowel loops and causing
small-bowel obstruction, now dilated to 5.3 cm, progressed since 4.1 cm on
prior study. No oral contrast is seen within the
small or large bowel and not within the stomach.
A thin right subhepatic fluid collection is unchanged, measuring 46 x 8 mm
from previously 45 x 8 mm (image 39 on the axial series).

level of acuity: 2.0 | The patient was admitted on ___ to the General Surgical
Service for evaluation and treatment of his small bowel
obstruction. Patient was initially managed conservatively with
bowel rest. He had a nasogastric tube inserted and was NPO/ IV
fluids with antiemetics for nausea. On ___ the patient had a
colonoscopy performed along with dilitation of the ileocolonic
anastamosis. Following the procedure the patient continued to be
NPO and on IV fluids. Over the course of the next few days the
patient had episodes of emesis of both "feculent material" and
bilious material. A repeat CT scan on ___ showed progression
of the small bowel obstruction with dilatation of the small
bowel loops up to 5.3 cm from the previous 4.1 cm. The patient
had a PICC line inserted and was started on TPN. On ___ he
was taken to the operating room for an intestinal bypass. The
operation went well without complication. Please refer to the
Operative Note for details. After a brief, uneventful stay in
the PACU, the patient arrived on the floor NPO, on IV fluids,
with a foley catheter, and an epidural and PCA for pain control.
The patient was hemodynamically stable.His hospital course
following the jejunocolostomy is described below:
Neuro: The patient received an epidural and pca with good effect
and adequate pain control. When tolerating oral intake, the
patient was transitioned to oral pain medications. The patient
complained of pain with several pain medication regimens. His
pain was well controlled with Methadone PO 10 mg q 8 hours and
methadone IV 10 mg every 8 hours. The patient was discharged on
this regimen and advised not to take any of his home
narcotics(morphine), sedatives, or alcohol with this medication.
The patient was neurologically stable during this admission.
CV: Following the operation the patient had episodes of sinus
tachycardia with heart rates as high as 130-140's. Patient was
asymptomatic and continued to produce good urine output. Over
the following days the patient's tachcardia improved and fell to
the low 100's and high 90's. He was started on metoprolol 25 mg
bid and was discharged on this medication. Patient was
hypertensive throughout this hospital admission with blood
pressures as elevated as high 160's/ high 80's. He does have a
past medical history of hypertension. Vital signs were routinely
monitored.
Pulmonary: The patient remained stable from a pulmonary
standpoint; vital signs were routinely monitored. Good pulmonary
toilet, early ambulation and incentive spirometry were
encouraged throughout hospitalization.
GI/GU/FEN: Post-operatively, the patient was made NPO/TPN/IV
fluids. The patient tolerated the TPN well and as his bowel
function returned his diet was advanced appropriately. Patient's
intake and output were closely monitored, and IV fluid was
adjusted when necessary. Electrolytes were routinely followed,
and repleted when necessary. Given that he was experiening
frequent bowel movements of 5 loose bowel movements per day, he
was restarted on Lomotil 1 tablet every 4 hours as needed for
diarrhea with a goal of no more than 2 bowel movements per day.
Patient had his indwelling foley removed on post-op day 4 when
his epidural was removed. Patient had no difficulty voiding
afterwards. Patient was transitioned to a regular diet and was
taken off TPN. He had no issues tolerating the regular diet.
ID: The patient's white blood count and fever curves were
closely watched for signs of infection. Wound was routinely
monitored and showed no signs of infection.
Endocrine: The patient's blood sugar was monitored throughout
his stay;
Hematology: The patient's complete blood count was examined
routinely; no transfusions were required.
Prophylaxis: The patient received subcutaneous heparin;He was
encouraged to get up and ambulate as early as possible.
At the time of discharge, the patient was doing well, afebrile
with stable vital signs. The patient was tolerating a regular
diet, ambulating, voiding without assistance, and pain was well
controlled. The patient received discharge teaching and
follow-up instructions with understanding verbalized and
agreement with the discharge plan. He was discharged with
nursing for ___ care with the understanding that his PICC would
likely be removed on ___ in his followup visit with Dr.
___. He received 1 B12 injection while in house and was
advised that he would need these injections monthly as an
outpatient. Patient was instructed that his narcotic regimen and
metoprolol would be adjusted with his PCP or oncologist on the
follow-up visit. His oncologist was verbally informed about the
plan and agreed to manage his narcotics on an outpatient basis. |

Past Medical History:
PAST ONCOLOGIC HISTORY:
Ms. ___ was in her usual state of health until early ___ when she suffered a series of falls. She was seen in the
emergency room here on ___ and CT head was
unremarkable other than subgaleal swelling along the right
temporal bone was noted. She was seen in her ___ clinic
several days later and continued to have 10 out of 10 headache.
Soon thereafter she also developed persistent ringing in the
ears
and saw neurology towards the end of ___. Gabapentin was
prescribed but she had some numbness around her mouth and so
stopped taking this. She had ongoing concern about the swelling
on the right side of her head and ultimately saw Dr. ___ in
___ on ___. She gave a history of being elbowed in
the head so this was felt to be a slowly resolving hematoma. On
___ she developed sudden left hemiparesis resulting
in a fall and was transferred to the emergency room here. On CT
was noted an approximately 3 x 4 cm rounded isodense to
hyperdense mass along the right temporal convexity with apparent
extension to the area of temporalis muscle and associated
mass-effect. A follow-up MRI showed 4 x 2.5 x 5.4 cm right
middle
cranial fossa enhancing extra-axial mass with extension through
the calvarium. There is approximately 9 mm right to left midline
shift. CT of the chest abdomen and pelvis on ___
showed small sclerotic foci in the thoracic spine of
indeterminate etiology possibly bone islands versus metastatic
lesions. Given the mass-effect she had surgical resection of the
intracranial component on ___. This showed a tumor
consisting of small round blue cells with Ki-67 greater than
95%,
and a profile not specific but possible including poorly
differentiated neuroendocrine tumor or a primitive
neuroectodermal tumor. Follow-up MRI showed residual right
infratemporal mass measuring up to 4 cm. The rapid growth of the
tumor was noted when comparing recent images. She was discussed
at head and neck tumor board on ___ and not felt
to
be a good candidate for resection of residual tumor due to the
high likelihood of developing distant metastatic disease.

COMPARISON: MR head dated ___. CT head dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Patient is status post right craniotomy and subtotal tumor resection of the
infratemporal fossa and right middle cranial fossa. There is stable sulcal
effacement of the right cerebrum and marked right cerebral hemispheric
vasogenic edema, as seen previously. Residual soft tissue density within the
surgical bed suggests residual tumor. No acute intracranial hemorrhage.
There is minimal decrease effacement of the right lateral ventricle. There is
2 mm of leftward shift of normally midline structures, previously 8 mm on MR
head dated ___.
There is mucosal thickening of the posterior left ethmoid air cells and
sphenoid sinuses which is nonspecific but may represent sinus disease in the
appropriate clinical setting. The visualized portion of the remaining
paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The
visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Status post right craniotomy and sub total tumor resection in the right
middle cranial fossa and infratemporal fossa. Residual soft tissue density in
the resection bed likely reflects residual tumor, but would be better assessed
with MRI with IV contrast.
2. Persistent vasogenic edema within the right cerebral hemisphere with
continued sulcal effacement of the right cerebrum, but with minimal interval
decrease of effacement of the right lateral ventricle and leftward shift of
midline structures when compared to MR head dated ___.
3. No acute intracranial hemorrhage.
4. Paranasal sinus disease as described above.

INDICATION: Ms. ___ is a ___ female with extensive poorly
differentiated tumor in the right temporal fossa s/p right craniotomy for
resection of intracranial portion in ___ and 6 cycles of chemotherapy who
presents with headache.// Evaluate for disease progression, acute process.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with
gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was
performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations.
COMPARISON: MRI head with without contrast of ___, MRI head with
contrast of ___.
FINDINGS:
There is significant interval development of enhancing lesion in the right
middle cranial fossa extending along the right frontal convexity and sylvian
fissure. This lesion infiltrates the right parietal, temporal and sphenoid
bone and extends into the right masticator space, infiltrating the right
temporalis, masticator and pterygoid muscles. This measures a conglomerate
6.4 x 5.2 x 5.6 cm (AP, TRV, SI). This mass appears to encase portions of the
right M1 through M3 segments. The lesion extends into the right sphenoid
sinus (series 9, image 40) measuring approximately 2.0 x 1.0 cm (AP, TRV).
The lesion results in prominent right-sided vasogenic edema with effacement of
the right lateral ventricle and 6 mm leftward midline shift. There is no
evidence for hydrocephalus at this time. Superimposed punctate mild
periventricular and subcortical T2/FLAIR white matter hyperintensities are
nonspecific, but compatible with chronic microangiopathy in a patient of this
age. A planum sphenoidale 7 mm extra-axial lesion (series 9, image 61) is
unchanged since examination of ___, felt to be most compatible
with a meningioma.
The major intracranial flow voids are preserved. The dural venous sinuses are
patent. A small mucous retention cyst is noted right maxillary sinus.
Elongated right globe in AP dimension, compatible with staphyloma/axial
myopia. The remainder the orbits are unremarkable. There is fluid signal in
the right mastoid air cells.
IMPRESSION:
1. Findings compatible with tumor progression, with significant interval
growth of enhancing lesion in the right middle cranial fossa extending along
the right frontal convexity and sylvian fissure, which permeates through the
right parietal, temporal and sphenoid bones to involve the right masticator
space and muscles.
2. There is extension of the tumor into the right sphenoid sinus.
3. Mass-effect from the tumor effaces the right lateral ventricle and results
in 6 mm leftward midline shift. No developing hydrocephalus at this time.
4. Additional findings as described above.

COMPARISON: Comparison to prior noncontrast head CT from ___.
FINDINGS:
Redemonstration of postsurgical changes related to right craniotomy and tumor
resection in the infratemporal fossa and right middle cranial fossa. Compared
to the prior CT, tumor has essentially regressed as far as can be understood
from these images with complete resolution of mass effect. There is now ex
vacuo dilatation of the right anterior temporal horn. White matter disease is
still mildly prominent in the right frontal and anterior temporal lobes but
decreased. This is thought to represent a response to radiation and/or
residual vasogenic edema. There is a small focus of high attenuation in a
different location than before along the lateral right mid frontal lobe of 8
mm with high attenuation suggestive of recent hemorrhage. In the right middle
cranial fossa a more patchy area of probably recent hemorrhage measures up to
11 mm. Earlier foci of hemorrhage are no longer apparent is discrete
entities.
Minimal mucosal thickening of the bilateral ethmoid air cells. The visualized
portion of the remaining paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear
cavities are clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
Marked decrease in tumor burden following recent therapy, perhaps even
resolve, associated with resolution of mass effect. Right frontal and
temporal white matter changes associated with mild residual vasogenic edema
and/or radiation change, but overall also decreased. However, new small
hemorrhages in the right temporal and frontal lobes, the latter the larger
measuring only 11 mm. However, based on high attenuation, these are too
relatively acute or early subacute new small intraparenchymal hemorrhages
whereas earlier ones have resolved.

changed, previously measuring 0.8 cm.
No other hyperattenuating foci to suggest new intracranial hemorrhage.
Nonspecific soft tissue density just deep to the inferior aspect of the
craniotomy, possibly postsurgical changes or residual tumor, appears similar
to prior.
There is stable ex vacuo dilatation of the right anterior temporal horn.
White matter hypoattenuation, most pronounced throughout the right cerebral

Ms. ___ is a ___ woman with extensive poorly
differentiated carcinoma in the right temporal fossa s/p
rightcraniotomy for resection of intracranial portion in ___
and 6 cycles of Carboplatin-etoposide (C6D1 ___ who
presented with severe right-sided headache that was most likely
due to tumor invading the right skull base & sphenoid/maxillary
bones and complicated by intracerebral hemorrhage. She received
radiation therapy which she completed on ___. She was
started on a steroid taper in the last week of her radiation
therapy to help her mental status which was then complicated by
some asymptomatic hypoglycemic episodes secondary to increased
insulin. Given her persistent altered mental status, lethargy,
and poor candidate for rehab, family meeting was held with her
HCP and decision was made to send her to hospice.

ACUTE ISSUES
============
# Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
# Headache
# Right-sided head & face pain
# Focal neuro deficits: facial droop, LLE weakness
# Encephalopathy
Has poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma in R temporal
fossa s/p resection and 6 cycles of chemotherapy. CT torso w/o
evidence of metastatic disease. Her hospital course was
complicated by a brain bleed (new foci of intraparenchymal
hematoma and small subarachnoid hemorrhage in the right
frontotemporal region). Neurosurgery evaluated and said there
was no plan for surgical intervention. Chronic Pain team was
consulted and she was not a candidate for pericranial nerve
block due to tumor invasion through temporal bone at that site.
She was started on SBRT by Radiation Oncology on ___, received
15 daily fractions during this admission with improvement in
headache and facial pain. She was given dexamethasone 4mg Q6H
with calcium (with planned taper) and Bactrim for PCP
prophylaxis while on dex. Palliative Care was consulted for
goals of care discussion and symptom management, recommended
regimen of tapering her steroids and not checking her vitals at
night. Throughout her hospitalization, the patient had episodes
of hypersomnolence. Repeat NCHCT showed stable bleed. Her mental
status also waxed and waned in the few days prior to discharge.
It was deemed that waxing and waning encephalopathy is partly
related to intraparenchymal hemorrhage, hospital stay induced
delirium, fluctuating blood glucose, and residual effects from
her tumor.
# GOALS OF CARE
Given patient's somnolence and confusion in her final week in
the hospital, her deconditioned state, and her poor candidacy
for rehab, family meeting held and goals of care clarified.
Patient's HCP ___ expressed that patient did not want to "be
connected to lines and tubes without chance of recovery."
Medical team described that she would likely not benefit from
immunotherapy given her current clinical state and decision was
made to arrange for hospice.
# HYPOGLYCEMIA
During her steroid taper, she continued to have BGs in the AM
around 50's and 60's. For this we decreased glargine to 9 units
and short acting to 6 BF, 10 lunch, 4 dinner. We continued to
monitor for signs of hypoglycemia. As she is going to hospice,

level of acuity: 3.0 | #Opioid induced constipation, resolved
-Seemingly resolved since disimpaction in ED and passage of
large
bowel movement on day of admission and ongoing bowel movements
and passing gas this morning.
-Etiology is probably from her taking the oxycodone several days
prior. She was counseled on this.
-The patient was given an option of discharge yesterday but said
she preferred to stay until the morning to make sure she doesn't
have recurrent constipation
-Given that she continues to move her bowels well, will
discharge with bowel regimen.
-Regular diet
-Daily miralax, senna, Colace - prescriptions given for
discharge
#Question of enteritis
-Fluid filled ascending/transverse colon on CT A/P. This is
nonspecific and she does not likely have true inflammatory
colonic
pathology at this point; may have been related to her
constipation that is now relieved. Clinically she is afebrile,
well-appearing, and her slight leukocytosis yesterday is
downtrending.

ACUTE CARE
# Foot pain: plain films of foot reveal possible stress fracture
and patient has pain to palpation over area of ___ metatarsal.
Also with overlying area erythema. Pain likely due to stress
fracture, although there was also mild concern for cellulitis.
The finding of the stress fracture was discussed with the
patient's orthopedic surgeon who she had seen in clinic who
recommended possible MRI, which was discussed with the patient.
She was advised to avoid strenuous, high-impact activity.
# Cellulitis vs Eczema: the patient had 3 areas of erythema: an
area on the dorsum of her foot, and areas on her bilateral
forearms. Her forearms were scaly with areas of excoriations,
thus raising concern for eczema with possible super-infection
given erythema that did improve with antibiotics. She also had
erythema on the dorsum of her foot which did not have an
eczematous appearance. She was empirically started on IV
Vancomycin and was discharged on Bactrim with Keflex (she has a
history of penicillin allergy but has tolerated Keflex in the
past). This plan was discussed with her ID team as well as her
PCP, both of whom she will see in clinic within the next week to
ensure improvement. Of note, the patient had significant anxiety
that she was apparently re-infected with MRSA given the fact
that she had previously gone through decoloniziation. A MRSA
swab from ___ was sensitive to bactrim thus prompting
this antibiotic choice.
CHRONIC CARE
# Eczema: patient evaluated by ___ clinic today, recommended
continuing outpatient steroid therapy. Of note, patient with
multiple hives, suggesting allergy/histamine component and was
advised to take an anti-histamine and continue home eczema
medications.

Radiology Report
EXAM: SHOULDER, THREE VIEWS.
CLINICAL INFORMATION: Fall with bruising over eye and right shoulder, history
of breast cancer.
COMPARISON: No prior shoulder radiographs available for comparison.
Reference made to PET-CT from ___ with reported widespread osseous
metastatic disease.
FINDINGS: Three views of the right shoulder were obtained. There is
confluent sclerosis involving the glenoid, at least some of which is likely
present on the prior PET-CT, partially imaged. There is also sclerosis
involving the humeral head, particularly medially. No acute fracture or
dislocation is seen. The right humeral head may be slightly high-riding.
Inferior to the glenohumeral joint, there is at least one and may be more
ossific/calcific structure, measuring up to 0.8 cm, may represent loose body.
The visualized osseous structures in the left hemithorax are heterogeneous,
consistent with patient's known metastatic disease with evidence of what
appears to be at least two posterior rib fractures.
IMPRESSION: Patient with osseous metastatic disease as above, involving the
right shoulder as well as right-sided ribs. Possible loose body(ies), as
above. No acute fracture or dislocation.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Fall and head trauma.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT data were acquired through the head without intravenous
contrast. Images were displayed in multiple planes.
COMPARISON: MRI head ___.
FINDINGS:
There is no hemorrhage, major vascular territory infarction, edema, or shift
of normal midline structures. A 2 x 4 cm left parietal dural lesion has
increased in size since the MRI ___. Adjacent vasogenic edema has also
increased since the prior study (601 b: 48). A known left frontal dural
lesion is not seen with this modality. Enlarged ventricles are compatible
with cortical atrophy. Basal cisterns are patent. Gray-white differentiation
is preserved. The visualized paranasal sinuses are clear. Opacification of
the bilateral mastoid air cells is chronic.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial process.
2. Increased size of left parietal dural lesion since ___. MRI is
more sensitive in evaluating small intracranial lesions.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ woman with breast cancer status post fall.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT data were acquired through the cervical spine without
intravenous contrast and reconstructed using bone and soft tissue algorithms.
Images were displayed in multiple planes.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There is extensive sclerosis of the skullbase, cervical vertebral bodies and
posterior elements which is compatible with diffuse osseous breast cancer
metastases. There is no fracture or malalignment. Multilevel degenerative
changes are moderate in severity. Disc osteophyte complexes at C3-C4 and
C4-C5 cause moderate central canal narrowing at these levels. There is mild
anterolisthesis of C2 over C3 and C7 over T1 (602B: 27). There is no pre or
paravertebral soft tissue abnormality. The thyroid gland is homogeneous. The
visualized portions of the lung apices are clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. Extensive sclerotic metastases of the skullbase, cervical vertebral
bodies, and posterior elements.
2. Disc osteophyte complexes at C3-C4 and C5-C6 cause moderate canal
narrowing and predispose this patient for cord contusion.
3. Anterolistheses of C2 over C3 and C7 over T1 of unknown chronicity,
likely chronic.
Radiology Report
CLINICAL INFORMATION: ___ woman with metastatic breast cancer and
known dural lesions with head CT showing possible increase in size of left
parietal dural lesion. Evaluate parietal dural lesion and for evidence of new
disease.
COMPARISON: MRI brain dated ___. Head CT, ___.
TECHNIQUE: Multisequence multiplanar imaging of the brain was performed both
prior to and following the intravenous administration of 6 mL Gadovist.
FINDINGS: Compared with the prior MRI, there is marked interval growth of
both the left frontal and the left parietal metastatic lesions, with the left
frontal lesion now measuring 3.5 x 2.3 x 2.9 cm, previously 2.2 x 2.0 x 2.7
cm, and the left parietal lesion now measuring 4.5 x 2.1 x 2.7 cm. This
lesion previously measured 2.2 x 1.5 x 1.4 cm. A right anterior temporal
dural lesion now meaures 8 x 9 x 15 mm, previously 3 x 4 x 6 mm. Additionally,
there is marked interval progression of vasogenic edema related to the masses,
particularly surrounding the parietal lesion. However, no new enhancing
lesion is identified within the dura or intracranial compartment. There is
heterogeneous bone marrow signal in the calvarium. The visualized upper
cervical spine as well as in the clivus likely reflecting metastatic disease.
Also, there are scattered punctate and confluent areas of increased FLAIR
signal in the periventricular, subcortical, and deep white matter bilaterally
which likely reflects a sequela of moderate to advanced chronic small vessel
disease in a patient of this age. The ventricles, sulci, and subarachnoid
spaces are globally prominent, compatible with age-related volume loss. There
is no evidence of hemorrhage or of acute/subacute ischemia.
Intracranial flow voids are preserved. There is mild mucosal thickening in
the ethmoid air cells. The paranasal sinuses, mastoids, and orbits are
otherwise unremarkable.
Extensive fluid opacification of the mastoid air cells bilaterally.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval growth of the left frontal and parietal and right temporal dural
metastases since ___, with increased associated vasogenic edema in the
underlying brain in the left parietal lobe. Heterogeneous marrow signal
throughout the calvarium, clivus, visualized upper cervical spine compatible
with metastatic disease. No new intracranial lesion.
2. Generalized volume loss. White matter signal abnormalities, likely
reflecting sequela of chronic small vessel disease in a patient of this age.
Radiology Report
EXAM: Chest frontal and lateral views.
CLINICAL INFORMATION: Cough and fever.
___.
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained. A left-sided
Port-A-Cath is seen terminating at the distal SVC. Again, extensive osseous
metastatic disease is seen. Multiple bilateral rib deformities seen, more
evident on the left. No definite focal consolidation is seen. There is no
pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are
stable.
IMPRESSION: Extensive osseous metastatic disease. No acute cardiopulmonary
process, including no definite focal consolidation.

treated for tracheitis and discharged with a 7 day course of
Bactrim (day ___. However the patient reports that he did
not start his course of Bactrim at home.
After discharge he notes that he woke up at night and felt that
he couldn't breath. He went to suction himself but nothing was
there, which caused him to seek further medical attention.
He was readmitted today for T-tube migration. Per IP note,
T-tube was noted in distal trachea. It was brought back to the
proximal trachea which was then removed. Tracheostomy was
dilated with blue rhino, portex perfit #7 trach was placed.

CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of ___
FINDINGS: A Port-A-Cath terminates at the cavoatrial junction.
The cardiac, mediastinal and hilar contours are unremarkable,
within the limitations of technique. The lungs appear clear.
There are no pleural effusions or pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute disease.
CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Study Date of ___ 6:48 ___
FINDINGS: There is similar mild shift to the left of normally
midline structures, by 4 mm, similar to the fairly recent prior
MR and not significantly changed. There is no hydrocephalus or
frank brain herniation. Mildly expansile widespread white
matter abnormality with involvement of the corpus callosum
subinsular cortex and widespread right frontal involvement is
not definitely changed since the recent prior MR scan, allowing
for differences in technique. There is no evidence for
intracranial hemorrhage. Postoperative changes including volume
loss in the right frontotemporal region is stable. Partial
opacification of the left maxillary sinus and very mild right
maxillary mucosal thickening appear unchanged. The mastoid air
cells appear clear. Frontal sinus opacification is also quite
similar and postoperative changes along the right cranial wall
are stable.
IMPRESSION: Findings compatible with the recent prior MR study,
including mild leftward shift of midline structures associated
with an extensive expansile hypodense abnormality involving
white matter in the right frontal
lobe.
Pending: Keppra level
___ Neurophysiology EEG
IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal continuous EEG recording due to
delta and
theta slowing over right fronto-temporal region, compatible with
a structural abnormality in that region, as well as spike and
slow wave discharges over right centro- temporal region,
suggesting epileptogenicity in those areas. There are no
electrographic seizures recorded.
___ Neurophysiology EEG
IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal continuous EEG recording due to
frequent
electrographic and clinical seizures. There are nine push button
events, all capture the seizures described as following: They
start with frequent spike and slow wave discharges over the
right temporal region. They evolve into 3 Hz spike and slow wave
discharges over the whole right hemisphere. Frequently, they
spread to the left frontal and central regions. Clinically,
patient starts with arrest of motion, then left facial twitching
with or without left arm jerking. From 09:56 to 11:44 and from
16:33 to 19:06, there are clusters of seizures, which is
consistent with focal status epilepticus. During later part of
the recording, some of the electrographic seizures do not have
clinical presentation. There is frequent, intermittent mixed
polymorphic delta
and theta slowing over right fronto-temporal region. Diffuse
beta
frequency activities are suppressed in right fronto-temporal
region. These findings are consistent with focal subcortical
dysfunction and/or post-ictal enhanced slowing.
___ Neurophysiology EEG
IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal continuous EEG recording due to
7
electrographic seizures. There are no push button events. The
electrographic seizures start with frequent spike and slow wave
discharges over the right temporal region and evolve into 3 Hz
spike and slow wave discharges that occasionally spread
throughout the right hemisphere. They last less than 20 seconds
and do not have clinical presentation. There are frequent spike
and slow wave discharges over the right temporal region, maximum
at T4, at times occurs in brief runs. There are less frequent,
intermittent mixed polymorphic delta and theta slowing over
right fronto-temporal region. The diffuse faster activities are
suppressed in right fronto-temporal region. The focal slowing is
ikely to be related post-ictal changes.
___ Neurophysiology EEG
IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal continuous EEG recording due to
one
electrographic seizure lasting 50 seconds that began with
frequent spike and slow wave discharges over the right temporal
region and evolved into 3 Hz spike and slow wave discharges over
the same region. Clinically there is no apparent facial
twitching or arm jerking. There are no push button events.
There are frequent spike and slow wave discharges over the right
temporal
region, maximum at T4, at times occuring in brief runs. Compared
with the
study yesterday, there is much less seizure activity including
less interictal discharging. There are less frequent,
intermittent mixed polymorphic delta and theta slowing over
right fronto-temporal region
___ Neurophysiology EEG
IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal continuous EEG recording due to
infrequent spike and slow wave discharges over the right
temporal region as well as intermittent mixed polymorphic delta
and theta slowing over right fronto- temporal region, suggesting
potential epileptogenic focus around this area. There are no
electrographic seizures recorded. Compared with the study
yesterday, the interictal discharges are less frequent and runs
of T4 spike and wave discharges have disappeared.

Transthoracic Echocardiogram ___:
Conclusions
The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall
thicknesses and cavity size are normal. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is low normal (LVEF 50%). Right ventricular
chamber size is normal with severe global free wall hypokinesis.
There is abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right
ventricular pressure/volume overload. The aortic valve leaflets
(?#) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion. No
aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve appears
structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. The
pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined.
There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal right ventricular cavity size with severe
free wall hypokinesis. Right ventricular pressure/volume
overload. Unable to assess PA systolic pressure.
Transthoracic Echocardiogram ___:
Conclusions
The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size.
Left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal.
Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion
abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall left ventricular
systolic function is low normal (LVEF 50-55%). Tissue Doppler
imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure
(PCWP<12mmHg). Right ventricular chamber size is normal with
severe global free wall hypokinesis. with severe global free
wall hypokinesis. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear
structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic
stenosis. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with
trivial mitral regurgitation. There is mild pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. There is an anterior space which most
likely represents a prominent fat pad.
IMPRESSION: Normal right ventricular cavity with severe free
wall hypokinesis. Mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension.
Normal left ventricular cavity size with low normal global
systolic function.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___, the

unusual. They went to the eye doctor and afterwards he was
continuing to make these mistakes which are very similar to his
prior stroke. As such, his wife wanted him to go to the ED.
En route however, the patient was very hungry and
stopped for lunch. He stopped and ate eggs at "___", and
felt
better after. He subsequently presented to the ED, where he was
called as a code stroke.

changes. Area of encephalomalacia in the left frontal lobe suggestive of old
infarct. There is also an old lacunar infarct in the left basal ganglia.
Nonspecific periventricular white matter hypodensities are suggestive of
chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle
ear cavities are clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
CTA HEAD:
The vessels of the circle of ___ and their principal intracranial branches
appear normal without stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm formation. The dural
venous sinuses are patent. Atherosclerotic calcifications of bilateral
cavernous and supraclinoid ICAs are seen. Calcifications of the distal left
vertebral artery are also noted. There is mild-to-moderate narrowing of both
supraclinoid and cavernous internal carotid arteries due to atherosclerotic
disease.
CTA NECK:
There are atherosclerotic calcifications at the origin of the bilateral
vertebral arteries. Calcifications of the proximal right internal carotid
artery cause approximately 50% stenosis by NASCET criteria. The left internal
carotid artery appears normal without evidence of stenosis, status post left
carotid endarterectomy.
OTHER:
Fibrotic changes and calcified pleural plaques at the lung apices bilaterally
are noted noted and grossly stable compared to prior exam. The visualized
portion of the thyroid gland is within normal limits. There is no
lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. There are mild degenerative changes of
the cervical spine.

History is notable for a possible last known well at perhaps,
though not clearly 1215 on ___, followed by a mild aphasia
characterized principally by paraphasic errors. The symptoms
were quite similar to his prior stroke. He was admitted due to
concern for a TIA or stroke in the distribution of the left MCA
in the setting of a subtherapeutic INR.
Patient underwent MRI brain on ___ which was negative for acute
infarct, revealing findings consistent with his prior, chronic
strokes. By examination on ___ in the morning, the patient's
aphasia had resolved and he felt back to baseline.
Discussion was held with the patient regarding optimal
anticoagulation moving forward. Consideration of changing to a
newer anticoagulation such as Apixaban was discussed given his
fluctuating INR and for improved ease of administration.
However, the patient reported he was not willing to change his
anticoagulation at this time until discussion with his
outpatient cardiologist, Dr. ___. Patient was counseled about
importance of remaining in house to clarify the anticoagulation
situation and promptly place him on therapeutic anticoagulation.
However, he reported strong desire to leave the hospital due to
personal affairs. He expressed understanding of the risks and
benefits of remaining in house to clarify his anticoagulation
issue and be placed on optimal therapy for stroke risk
reduction. Stroke risk factors included LDL 25, hemoglobin A1c

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ y/o right handed-man with PMH significant
for epilepsy (on VPA) and CAD s/p ___ MIs and 8 stents, who was
transferred from OSH for mutliple seizures today. He woke up
this
morning with chest tightness associated with breathing
difficulties. No recent infectious symptoms. He drank 4 beers
today. His fiancee noted his eyes to briefly roll back while on
the couch, but he said he was ok. He then got up to go to the
bathroom and collapsed, falling face-down on the floor. EMS was
called and he was brought to OSH. He says his first memories
upon
arousal were at OSH. He was post-ictal, but had no incontinence
or tongue biting. While at OSH, his fiancee notes he had up to 6
"small seizures," which included shaking of his hands and legs
with decreased responsiveness. He reportedly never returned to
baseline between seizures; he would be post-ictal for a while
and
would then start having another one. Per the tranfer notes, he
was having intermittent ___ minute myoclonic and at times,
clonic
seizures. While at OSH, he received Ativan 6 mg and Dilantin 1
gram. He was then transferred to ___ for further evaluation.
While in the ambulance on the way over, he had another seizure
with unresponsivess and generalized convulsions, lasting 5
minutes and resolved with Ativan 2 mg. Some of his seizures have
been preceeded by an aura of flashing lights. He says he
currently has a headache and persistent chest and jaw pain,
concerning for cardiac event as this is similar he experienced
in
past with his MI.
With regards to his epilepsy, he has a long-standing history
of
epilepsy since childhood; believed to be most likely primary
generalized epilepsy. Of note, he was admitted to Epilepsy
service earlier this month with status epilepticus in the
setting

INDICATION: ___ year old man with shortness of breath/volume overload s/p left
heart cath s/p DES. // Evaluate for edema Evaluate for edema
IMPRESSION:
In comparison with the study of ___, the cardiac silhouette is at the
upper limits of normal in size. The configuration of the mediastinal contour
is again consistent with known radiation fibrosis with associated
bronchiectasis of the upper lobes.
There is interval increase in the indistinctness and engorgement of pulmonary
vessels, consistent with the clinical diagnosis of volume overload. Blunting
of the costophrenic angles with poor definition of the hemidiaphragms is
consistent with layering effusions and atelectatic changes at the bases.

schizophrenia, TBI, and ADHD presenting from OSH with report of
hypotension improved with fluids, as well as altered mental
status and ___, currently improved.
# Hypotension: Pt presenting from outside facility with report
of hypotension with SBP in the ___. Improved with 2L of IVF in
the ED. Likely hypovolemic possibly from poor po intake,
although unclear at events that occurred prior to admission.
Dehydration consistent with Cre 1.6, lactate 2.6, specific
gravity of 1.020 and hyaline casts in urine. No clear source of
infection with normal CXR, and U/A with WBC:3. Blood cultures
sent, and currently pending. Blood pressure has been stable
throughout admission, and he was eating and drinking well prior
to discharge.
# Altered mental status: Pt presenting with altered mental
status, and neurologic exam consistent with possible expressive
aphasia. Pt speaking in fluent language, although unable to name
objects or repeat phrases initially. Otherwise neurologic exam
was intact. Thought to be secondary to medications or less
likely his underlying schizophrenia. Non contrast CT of his head
showed atrophy with microvascular disease, although no acute
process. Serum and urine tox screen negative. Infectious work-up
negative including clear chest XRay, normal WBC, and no growth
in cultures. B12 and TSH wnl, and RPR nonreactive. Does not
appear to be post-ictal with no reported seizure activity,
tongue bites, or incontinence. Pt also on numerous medications
which could contribute to AMS. The patient was given IVF and
started initially on high dose thiamine as unknown ETOH use. His
bupropion and dextroamphetamine-amphetamine were held on
presentation, and his mental status improved greatly in 24
hours. He was transitioned to po thiamine, and was alert and
oriented x 3 prior to discharge.

unit. Notes indicate that he was previously on quetiapine 300mg
po daily and clonidine 0.2mg po BID, although recently
discontinued on most recent med list from psychiatric facility.
These medications were not given, and he denied any auditory
hallucinations during hospitalization. His PCP was contacted and
did not have a record of schizophrenia.
# Depression: At home on buproprion 200mg po BID and clonazepam
2mg po TID. Due to concern that AMS was triggered by
medications, his clonazepam was made prn, and his bupropion was
discontinued. His mental status improved during admission as
stated above.
# ADHD: On dextroamphetamine-amphetamine 20 mg oral TID. As
patient was climbing out of bed on presentation, this medication
was held. His mental status improved off of medication, so it
was held on discharge.
He should not have amphetamines permanently.
CHRONIC ISSUES

Radiology Report
PA AND LATERAL CHEST ON ___
HISTORY: ___ woman with recent toe amputation, pain and foul odor at
the site, question osteomyelitis.
IMPRESSION: Three views of the left foot show that there has been an
amputation of the third ray at the level of the body of the proximal phalanx
of that toe, after prior amputation of the left second ray, at the level of
the metatarsophalangeal joints. Without earlier postoperative films, I cannot
say whether there is a change in the extent of demineralization and cortical
irregularity of the incised end of the proximal phalanx of the third toe.
Prior radiographs needs to be obtained to see if this is evidence of
osteomyelitis. There are mild-to-moderate degenerative changes including joint
space narrowing and sclerosis of articular endplates.
Radiology Report
ARTERIAL DOPPLER LOWER EXTREMITY
REASON: Ulcer.
Doppler evaluation was performed of both lower extremity arterial systems at
rest. Both lower extremities, the femoral and popliteal waveforms are
triphasic. Distally, they are monophasic. On the right, the ABI is 0.99 and
left 0.97 and may be falsely elevated. Pulsed volume recordings show a drop
off at the calf level, right, compared to left, with further dropoff distally.
IMPRESSION: Moderate bilateral tibial artery occlusive disease, right greater
than left. ABIs may be falsely elevated. Clinical correlation is warranted.
Radiology Report
PICC PLACEMENT
INDICATION: ___ woman with history of osteomyelitis, now with fever,
question endocarditis.
OPERATORS: Drs. ___ (fellow) and ___ (attending
physician).
CONTRAST: None.
SEDATION: None.
PROCEDURE AND FINDINGS: Patient was placed supine on the imaging table in the
interventional suite. Timeout was performed as per ___ protocol.
Under aseptic conditions and sonographic guidance, a micropuncture needle was
placed in the patent left basilic vein. Sonographic images were printed prior
to and following needle placement. A 0.018 wire was advanced through the
needle and into the IVC. Needle was exchanged for a peel-away sheath. After
appropriate measurements and removal of the inner cannula, a 4 ___ 36 cm
single-lumen PICC was placed. Sheath was peeled away. Wire was removed.
Catheter tip was confirmed under fluoroscopy to be in the lower SVC. Port was
aspirated and flushed. Catheter was secured by a StatLock. Site was
appropriately dressed. Patient tolerated the procedure well and no immediate
post-procedure complication was seen.
IMPRESSION: Uncomplicated ultrasound and fluoroscopic-guided placement of 4
___ 36.5 cm single-lumen PICC via the patent left basilic vein and with its
tip in the lower SVC. PICC is ready for use.
Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: Fever, potential pneumonia.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: New left PICC line, the tip is projecting over the mid SVC. There
is no pneumothorax. A linear opacity in the left lung base is unchanged from
the prior examination. There is the likely atelectasis and scarring. No
confluent consolidation is there to suggest pneumonia. No pleural effusion.
Thoracic spinal hardware is incompletely evaluated on the radiograph.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Past history of osteomyelitis, with concern for recurrence.
COMPARISON: Radiographs available from ___ and MRI from ___.
TECHNIQUE: T1- and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the right foot were
obtained, including sequences performed prior to and following the uneventful
administration of 8 cc of Gadavist intravenous contrast. Images were acquired
within a 1.5 Tesla magnet.
FINDINGS: The patient is status post second phalangeal and third proximal
mid phalangeal amputation, as seen on the radiographs from ___.
There is increased signal intensity within the fluid-sensitive sequences of
the residual third proximal phalanx (5:22), demonstrating mild enhancement
(8:31). No periosteal reaction or neighboring fluid collection or masses are
present. There is no MR evidence of erosion.
The joint spaces, including the third MTP joint, appear preserved. A focus of
T2 high signal intensity within the head of the third metatarsal (7:16) is
most compatible with degenerative change.
There is no fracture. A large amount of edema overlies the plantar soft
tissues (5:7).
The extensor and flexor tendons are intact.
No focally enhancing nodule or mass is detected.
IMPRESSION:
1. Abnormal increased signal intensity and enhancement within the remnant of
the third proximal phalanx may represent post-surgical inflammatory change;
however, underlying osteomyelitis cannot be entirely excluded. No surrounding
soft tissue masses or fluid collections are seen.
2. Degenerative changes are seen at the head of the third metatarsal. Intact
third MTP joint.
Radiology Report
PA AND LATERAL CHEST FILM ___ AT 16:24
CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ with fevers and nasal congestion despite
broad-spectrum antibiotics, question pneumonia.
Comparison is made to the patient's prior study of ___.
AP upright and lateral views of the chest are submitted ___ at 16:24.
IMPRESSION:
1. Thoracic spinal hardware is again seen. A left subclavian PICC line
remains in place with the tip difficult to identify on the current examination
as it overlies the spinal hardware but it is likely not significantly changed
in position with its tip somewhere within the mid-to-distal superior vena
cava. Overall, cardiac and mediastinal contours are stable. Lungs appear
well inflated without evidence of focal air space consolidation to suggest
pneumonia. A linear opacity in the left base is again seen, likely reflecting
scarring or subsegmental atelectasis. No pneumothorax. No evidence of
pulmonary edema.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with bilateral leg swelling.
STUDY: Bilateral lower extremity venous ultrasound.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS: Gray-scale and color Doppler sonographic imaging was performed of
bilateral common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, and posterior tibial
veins. The peroneal veins were not visualized on either side. Normal
compressibility, flow, and augmentation was demonstrated in the visualized
veins. Additionally, prominent reactive lymph nodes with fatty hila are
demonstrated in the inguinal region. Subcutaneous edema is present in the
bilateral calves.
IMPRESSION: No DVT in the visualized veins. Peroneal veins not visualized
bilaterally. Subcutaneous edema in the bilateral calves.
Radiology Report
PROCEDURE: PICC line placement.
CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ woman with gram-negative bacteremia for
intravenous therapy.
The patient was placed on the angiographic table in supine position. The skin
of the left upper extremity was prepped and draped in a sterile fashion.
Timeout protocol was carried out prior to the procedure according to the ___
___ policy. After generous infiltration of the subcutaneous soft tissues
by 1% lidocaine, Dr. ___ the patent and fully compressible left
brachial vein using 21-gauge micropuncture needle. Over a 0.018 guidewire,
micropuncture needle was exchanged for a peel-away sheath. Over a guidewire
and through the appropriate peel-away sheath, a 4 ___ single-lumen PICC
line was advanced into the distal superior vena cava. Peel-away sheath was
subsequently removed. The line was secured to the skin using secure lock
device and covered with sterile dressing.
CONCLUSION:
1. Placement of a 4 ___ single-lumen PICC line into the distal superior
vena cava via the left brachial vein.
2. The line is ready to use.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: History of hepatitis C, now with abdominal distention and
right-sided pain. Evaluate for cirrhosis and/or hepatic congestion.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS: The liver echotexture is coarsened, likely due to underlying
hepatitis and/or cirrhosis, although the liver contour remains smooth. No
focal liver lesions are identified. There is no intrahepatic biliary duct
dilatation. The common duct is normal in caliber, measuring 6 mm. The portal
vein is patent with normal hepatopetal flow. The patient is status post
cholecystectomy. A 16 x 9 mm hypoechoic structure within or just adjacent to
the neck of the pancreas could be a lymph node or pancreatic lesion (image 5).
The remainder of the visualized portion of the pancreas is grossly normal.
The pancreatic tail is not well seen secondary to overlying bowel gas. The
spleen is mildly enlarged, measuring up to 13.9 cm. There is no free fluid
seen within the abdomen.
IMPRESSION:
1. Coarsened hepatic echotexture could be secondary to underlying hepatitis,
although cirrhosis could also have this appearance.
2. Hypoechoic 16 x 9 mm structure within or just adjacent to the pancreatic
neck could be a lymph node or pancreatic lesion. Further evaluation with CT
or MRI is recommended.
Pertinent findings and recommendations were discussed with Dr. ___ by Dr.
___ at 11:31 p.m. via telephone on the day of the study.
Radiology Report
MRI OF THE LEFT FOREFOOT
CLINICAL HISTORY: Past history of osteomyelitis and amputations of the second
and third digits. Now bacteremic. Query osteomyelitis in the foot.
COMPARISON: MRI on ___.
TECHNIQUE: Forefoot infection protocol was performed with pre- and
post-gadolinium sequences on a 1.5 Tesla scanner. The primary post-contrast
plane was coronal, with three post-contrast planes provided, and a subtraction
sequence. The field of view on the current examination was larger than on the
previous.
FINDINGS:
Allowing for differences in technique, there has been no interval change in
the appearance of the forefoot. There has been amputation of the entire
second digit and of the third digit at the mid proximal phalanx. There is
stable increased signal intensity within the remnant third proximal phalangeal
stump with mild enhancement. There is a stable, small erosion at the dorsal
surface of the head of the third metatarsal. Marrow signal intensity is
otherwise normal and there is no evidence of fracture. There is no periosteal
reaction or abscess. There are no joint effusions.
The articular surfaces are smooth and the joint spaces are preserved.
There is stable edema within the dorsal subcutaneous tissues.
The flexor and extensor tendons are unremarkable. The muscles are normal in
bulk and signal.
IMPRESSION: No interval change in the mild abnormal signal within the remnant
third proximal phalanx with mild enhancement. The ddx includes post-surgical
change, but osteomyelitis is not entirely excluded.
Radiology Report

Timeout protocol was carried out prior to the procedure according to the ___
hospital policy.
PHYSICIANS: Dr. ___, M.D. supervised by Dr. ___, M.D.
CLINICAL INDICATION: A ___ woman with bacteremia and fungemia
requiring placement of new PICC line for IV antibiotics and antifungals.
After generous infiltration of the subcutaneous soft tissues by 1% lidocaine,
the patent and fully compressible right basilic vein was accessed using
21-gauge micropuncture needle. A 0.018 guidewire from the PICC line kit did
not readily advance into the right subclavian vein and further into the
superior vena cava prompting placement of a 4 ___ micropuncture sheath in
place of a 21-gauge micropuncture needle. Through the 4 ___ micropuncture
sheath limited venogram of the right upper extremity was performed by
demonstrating moderate tortuosity of the distal right basilic vein.
Tortuosity of the basilic vein was successfully negotiated using 0.035 angled
tip Glidewire. 4 ___ micropuncture sheath was then replaced by 5 ___
Kumpe catheter which was advanced centrally into the right subclavian vein
over a 0.035 Glidewire. Through the Kumpe catheter, Glidewire was then
exchanged for 0.018 guidewire from the PICC line kit. Over the 0.018
guidewire, a Kumpe catheter was exchanged for a peel-away sheath. Through the
peel-away sheath and over the 0.018 guidewire, a 4 ___ single-lumen PICC
line was advanced with some technical difficulty into the distal superior vena
cava. The line was secured to the skin using secure lock device and covered
with sterile dressing.
Existing left PICC line was removed under sterile conditions. The tip of the
line was saved for microbiological studies in a sterile container. Hemostasis
was achieved by manual compression.
CONCLUSION:
1. Placement of a single-lumen PICC line into the distal superior vena cava
via the right basilic vein.
2. Removal of existing left upper extremity PICC line.

sbp: 137.0
dbp: 75.0
level of pain: 4
level of acuity: 2.0 | ___ y/o homeless wheelchair bound female with a history of
several traumatic spinal fractures who initially presented with
SI. Hospital course complicated by foot wound infection (recent
amputation at ___), blood stream infection with multiple highly
resistant bacteria and yeast while on broad-spectrum
antibiotics, raising high suspicion for self-contamination of
PICC line. Patient left AMA after her PICC-line was removed
after switching from IV to PO antibiotics.
# Multi-organism bacteremia: Pt was originally started on
bactrim for possible infection of site of left toes amputation.
Wound grew proteus not sensitive to bactrim, and patient was
started on vanc/zosyn, continued for 2 week course on
vanc/cefepime which was then changed to vanc/ctx. Blood cultures
negative until ___, the last day of her 2-week course, when
she spiked a fever to 103. Over the course of the next 2 weeks,
blood cultures from the PICC line, grew Ochrobactrum,
Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Trichosporon, and Rothia
Mucilaginosa. Patient remained afebrile with normal WBC. It
was felt that pt was tampering with her PICC line as it seemed
unusual that she would be growing so many different organisms
from the blood ___ such a short period of time while on broad
spectrum antibiotics. Abx initially changed from from vanc/CTX
to vanc/cefepime, then patient developed eosinophilia, and
cefepime was felt to be the culprit. She was put on
vanc/meropenem. Her urine grew out VRE and so vanc was changed
to IV daptomycin. Micafungin started once blood grew yeast,
then narrowed to voriconazole once yeast identified as
Trichosporon. Ophthalmology eval showed no concern of eye
infection. TEE was negative and foot MRI x2 showed likely
post-op changes (though could not r/o osteomyelitis). ___ the
setting of patient likely contaminating her PICC-line, she was
given 2 weeks of Meropenem, then Daptomycin switched to
Linezolid (last day ___, Voriconazole was to end on ___.
Plan is to follow up ___ ___ clinic. However, patient left AMA
on ___ without an appointment. Case manager attempted to obtain
Linezolid and Voriconazole for patient at the ___ pharmacy,
but she refused and left AMA with prescriptions only.
# Eosinophilia - pt developed eosinophilia up to 20+%, with
absolute eosinophil count >1000 for several days. Was felt to be
possible allergic reaction to cefepime which was changed to
meropenem. However, eosinophilia did not resolve after cefepime
was discontinued. Unclear source. Could be from contamination
of PICC. Pt denies urticaria/shortness of breath. No evidence of
foreign objects.
# L toe amputation- Patient had amputation of a toe on her left
foot the week prior to admission due to ___ bite and
osteomyelitis. The incision site was noted to have a small
amount of purulent drainage with a foul odor. She was seen by
podiatry who recommended foot xrays which showed no clear
evidence of osteomyelitis but difficult to assess. Bone biopsy
sent during the amputation at ___ with report that there was no
concern for osteomyelitis, sample with clean margins. See
antibiotics course as above. MRI of foot x2 showed enhancement
at site of amputation, likely post-op changes but could not rule
out osteomyelitis. Given the multi-organism blood stream
infection, foot is a very unlikely source. At the time of
discharge, her foot wound was clean and dry.
# SI- patient initially endorsed SI with plan to overdose on
medications. She was initially met ___ criteria per
psychiatry. She subsequently reported resolution of suicidal
intent. Psychiatry felt she was no longer a threat to herself
and therefore did not require psych hospitalization.
# Placement- Patient was evaluated ___ the ED by physical therapy
and occupational therapy who felt she would benefit from SNF
placement. Patient reports she has not been doing well at her
shelter and also feels she would benefit from placement. Patient
was denied at ___ and other rehab centers due to prior poor
behavior. She was to be discharged home (ie, she would have to
arrange her own shelter stay or stay with friends), but left
AMA.
# Chronic pain- Patient has chronic pain resulting from several
past traumas. She was maintained on her home MS ___ with
PO dilaudid for breakthrough pain.
# Urinary incontinence- Patient with long history of urinary
incontience. Symptoms were stable throughout this
hospitalization.
# Lower extremity edema - Likely from dependent positioning. Pt
without known CHF and TTE without structural or functional heart
abnormalities. Pt has history of hep C, could be caused by
cirrhosis. RUQ u/s suggestive of cirrhotic liver. Started on IV
lasix with good diuresis and improvement ___ swelling. DC'd
on 40mg PO daily of lasix.
# Pancreatic mass -could be pseudocyst, pt w/ history of IVDA
probably significant alcohol use. Pt is complaining of abdominal
pain, although found to have evidence of cirrhotic liver on u/s.
Lipase 11. Abdominal pain improved by discharge. Plan for
outpatient follow up with imaging either CT/MRI to eval
pancreatitis mass.
# Transaminitis - pt with mildly elevated LFTS but h/o hep c. no
abd or RUQ pain. No diarrhea/n/vomiting. RUQ U/S showed
"coarsened hepatic echotexture" ___ hepatitis vs cirrhosis.

motorcycle accident of ___, s/p Tib/fib fracture, now with
cement spacer, admitted after near syncope event at rehab. He
had been on Coumadin and lovenox for a DVT, but developed chest
pain and shortness of breath while ___ the ED and the CT scan
showed acute right sided pulmonary embolism, with question of
infarction, despite being on anticoagulation. He was
incidentally found to have an infection under his flap on the
right leg based on the physical exam performed by plastic
surgery.
# Pulmonary Embolism: Hematology was consulted - the patient
was taking lovenox 80 mg sc bid at rehab, and his weight based
dose is 100 mg sc/bid based on his weight. He has also had some
recent subtherapeutic INRs. It was felt that the development of
acute pulmonary embolism ___ the setting of a previously seen DVT
no longer visualized, was due to embolization and suboptimal
anticoagulation rather than warfarin failure. He was countinued
on warfarin and bridged to a therapeutic INR with a heparin drip
___ the ___ period. He may be bridged ___ the future
with lovenox, but he should be on the 100 mg sc bid dose. He
should be continued on Coumadin 8 mg dose and INR followed
closely. Recommend minimum of 3 months of anticoagulation for
provoked PE. He was seen by the ___ hematologists who made

IMAGING:
___ RUQ U/S:
1. Markedly limited exam due to the presence of overlying bowel
gas obscuring the midline structures. The gallbladder, common
bile duct and main portal vein could not be well assessed. If
there is continued concern for choledocholithiasis, MRCP is
recommended.
2. No intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation.
3. Cirrhosis with splenomegaly and massive splenorenal shunt.
___ CXR:
Left greater than right mild asymmetric pulmonary edema. Focal
opacity within the left lung apex may reflect superimposed
infection.
___ CTA Chest:
1. Consolidations in the apices as well as the superior segment
of the left lower lobe. These may be sequelae of sarcoidosis,
however superimposed pneumonia cannot be ruled out. Correlation
with older exams presumably performed elsewhere would help
assess for interval change.
2. No evidence of pulmonary embolism to the proximal segmental
level. Subsegmental pulmonary arteries are not well evaluated
due to timing of bolus.
3. Cirrhosis, splenomegaly, multiple abdominal varices including
gastroesophageal varices.

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: LIVER OR GALLBLADDER US (SINGLE ORGAN)
INDICATION: History: ___ with right upper quadrant pain, previous stone in
gallbladder neck, now please evaluate for stone in common bile duct
TECHNIQUE: Grey scale and color Doppler ultrasound images of the abdomen were
obtained.
COMPARISON: Reference CT abdomen and pelvis, right upper quadrant ultrasound
___. MRCP ___.
FINDINGS:
Study is markedly limited due to the presence of overlying bowel gas.
LIVER: Shrunken and nodular with a heterogeneous echotexture compatible with
known cirrhosis. There is no focal liver mass. The main portal vein cannot
be well visualized due to overlying bowel gas, however the right portal vein
is patent with hepatopetal flow. There is no ascites.
BILE DUCTS: There is no intrahepatic biliary dilation. The common bile duct
could not be visualized due to the presence of overlying bowel gas.
GALLBLADDER: The gallbladder was not well assessed due to overlying bowel gas
and appears minimally distended.
PANCREAS: Portion of the pancreatic head appears unremarkable. The remainder
of the pancreas could not be well assessed due to overlying bowel gas.
SPLEEN: Spleen is markedly enlarged measuring up to 18.1 cm. Massive
splenorenal shunt is again noted, as depicted on the previous MRCP.
KIDNEYS: The right kidney measures 10.8 cm. The left kidney measures 12.2 cm.
Limited assessment of the kidneys demonstrate no hydronephrosis.
RETROPERITONEUM: Visualized portions of aorta and IVC are within normal
limits.
IMPRESSION:
1. Markedly limited exam due to the presence of overlying bowel gas obscuring
the midline structures. The gallbladder, common bile duct and main portal vein
could not be well assessed. If there is continued concern for
choledocholithiasis, MRCP is recommended.
2. No intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation.
3. Cirrhosis with splenomegaly and massive splenorenal shunt.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: AP chest x-ray.
INDICATION: A ___ man with hypoxia, evaluate for edema or pneumonia.
TECHNIQUE: AP upright chest radiograph.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Surgical chain sutures are seen overlying the left mid lung. There is
rightward rotation of the patient on the current examination. Allowing for
changes due to this, the cardiomediastinal silhouettes are within normal
limits. Central pulmonary vascular engorgement and left greater than right
diffuse interstitial prominence likely reflects asymmetric mild pulmonary
edema, left greater than right. More focal opacity within left lung apex may
reflect superimposed infection. There is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion.
IMPRESSION:
Left greater than right mild asymmetric pulmonary edema. Focal opacity within
the left lung apex may reflect superimposed infection.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CTA thorax.
INDICATION: ___ with chest pain, positive d-dimer // PE? . Patient has
history of sarcoidosis.
TECHNIQUE: Axial MDCT images were obtained of the thorax after the uneventful
administration of 100 cc of Optiray intravenous contrast material. Reformatted
coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal intensity
projection images were also reviewed.
DOSE: DLP: 414 mGy-cm
COMPARISON: MRCP on ___.
FINDINGS:
CTA thorax:
The aorta and its major branch vessels are patent, with no evidence of
stenosis, occlusion, dissection, or aneurysmal formation. The pulmonary
arteries are also well opacified to the proximal segmental level, with no
evidence of filling defect. The distal segmental and subsegmental arteries
are not well evaluated due to timing of bolus. The main and right pulmonary
arteries are normal in caliber, and there is no evidence of right heart
strain.
Consolidations in the left upper lobe, superior segment of the left lower
lobe, and the right upper lobe. The heart and pericardium are unremarkable,
with a trace pericardial effusion. There is no pleural effusion. The airways
are patent to the subsegmental level. There are mildly prominent mediastinal
lymph nodes, likely reactive. No supraclavicular or axillary lymphadenopathy.
The partially visualized thyroid gland and esophagus are unremarkable.
Although this study is not designed for the evaluation of subdiaphragmatic
structures, the imaged upper abdomen demonstrates cirrhosis, splenomegaly,
multiple abdominal varices including gastro esophagealvarices. No lytic or
blastic osseous lesion suspicious for malignancy is identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. Consolidations in the apices as well as the superior segment of the left
lower lobe. These may be sequelae of sarcoidosis, however superimposed
pneumonia cannot be ruled out. Correlation with older exams presumably
performed elsewhere would help assess for interval change.
2. No evidence of pulmonary embolism to the proximal segmental level.
Subsegmental pulmonary arteries are not well evaluated due to timing of bolus.
3. Cirrhosis, splenomegaly, multiple abdominal varices including
gastroesophageal varices.

level of acuity: 3.0 | ___ h/o cryptogenic cirrhosis (dx in childhood), ? sarcoidosis,
presented to ED with 1d of RUQ pain with radiation to side and
back. This is the ___ such episode in the last 2.5w RUQ US
showed only non-dilated common bile duct (although a recent
admission showed cholelithiasis on US and MRCP), pt also had CXR
for desat to 78%/RA in ED. He then received CTA after a
concerning opacity was visualized. He recieved one dose of
levofloxacin, but this was discontinued after learning more
about his extensive pulmonary history of ?sarcoidosis, with
large desats and consolidation on imaging at baseline. His CBC
also revealed pancytopenia. He was admitted to medicine for
symptomatic management of his biliary colic.
On the medical floor his pain was managed with oxycodone. He was
also seen by the Heme/Onc team who performed a bone marrow
biopsy for his pancytopenia. The transplant team also paid a
visit. They still believed that his operative risk for CCY was
too high, and so recommended that he try low-fat diet first.
Surgery also recommended listing Mr. ___ for liver transplant
prior to surgery given MELD=15 and risk of hepatic
decompensation after surgery.
After the bone biopsy, Mr. ___ pain was managed with
oxycodone. There was no bleeding or bruising from the site. He
was discharged in no pain, with stable but pancytopenic CBC, and
baseline low O2 sats.
___ with PMH of possible pulmonary sarcoid, cryptogenic
cirrhosis (since age ___, and recent admission for gallstone
pancreatitis who is presenting from OSH for further evaluation
of epigastric pain radiation to RUQ concerning for biliary colic
# Cholelithiasis: Patient with recent admission for gallstone
pancreatitis, for which no surgical intervention was offered
given high operative risk in the setting of cirrhosis and not on
transplant list. Patient now representing with pain concerning
for biliary colic. Lipase 60 and no signs to suggest
pancreatitis or cholangitis. Tbili was initially up but
downtrended. Placed on low-fat diet, met with nutrition, and
manage pain with conservative PO pain medication. Patient will
likely need cholecystectomy and should have expedited work up
for possible transplant listing prior to surgical intervention.
Was seen by surgery and scheduled to see transplant surgery as
outpatient with Dr. ___ ___. Patient was counseled about
risks of complications and possible need for future surgery.
Need to discuss transplant surgery referral if faster to work up
at ___ given testing already done at ___.
# Hypoxia: Patient with ___ years of chronic hypoxia, with
baseline O2 sat 90%RA. He is followed by Tuft Pulmonary (Dr.
___ who after extensive work-up has diagnosed him
with likely pulmonary sarcoid. However, some notes also mention
possibility of hepatopulmonary syndrome. Patient found in ED
initially to be at baselin hypoxia but then desatted
(asymptomatic to high-70s) of unclear duration. Saturation then
recorded as 92-93% on RA. Had elevated Ddimer and CTA which was
negative for PE but showed multifocal consolidations which could
be consistent with prior sarcoid but no prior imaging available
for review. Suspicion for pneumonia remains low given he states
his breathing is at baseline (has baseline AM cough), clinically
without fever, and no leukocytosis or left shift on labs (Flu
negative as well). Overnight, received diuresis with 10mg IV
lasix and was negative 1800cc. Likely overdiuresed given not
clearly overloaded and now not feeling well with mild
tachycardia, weakness, and headache. Received 500cc IVF back.
Will follow up with outpatient Pulmonologist (Dr. ___
of ___. He was given CD of CT scan from ___ which should be
compared by pulmonologist to prior CTs. Ambulatory sat was 82%.
Patient was counseled to use oxygen while ambulating but
refused.
# Cryptogenic Cirrhosis: Patient diagnosed at age ___ with
cryptogenic cirrhosis followed by Dr. ___ at ___.
Currently Child B and MELD 15. MELD 14 on discharge. Patient
has follow up scheduled for ___ with her. Would recommend
that patient be worked up for transplant listing given high risk
of complications from cholethiasis and if needs emergent surgery
at some point, would want to be listed for transplant prior.
# Pancytopenia: unclear etiology. Heme/Onc was consulted last
admission and recommended outpatient visit for work up. However,
patient was discharged prior to being seen by heme/onc and did
not return phone call for scheduling from secretary. Heme/Onc
saw the patient during this admission. Concerned for congenital
MDS vs. impact of liver disease. Continued home folate and B12
supplementation. Had bone marrow biopsy on the day prior to
discharge. Patient was neutropenic for the two days prior to
discharge but not significantly worse than prior admission.
Counts improving on day of discharge. Patient was counseled
multiple times to stay while he was neutropenic. However,
patient insisted on leaving. He understood the risks of
neutropenic infection. He understood to return to the ED at any
signs of infection or not feeling well. He will see heme/onc 3
days after discharge.
# GERD: Continued home omeprazole
# Code: Full
# Emergency Contact: ___ (Wife) ___
**Transitional Issues**
- continue to follow low fat diet, was seen by nutrition
- follow up bone marrow biopsy results and will need ongoing
evaluation by hematology for pancytopenia
- follow up beta-glucan, galactomannan, respiratory viral panel,
and IgG level
- Patient was discharged with CD of imaging from stay, please
compare CT chest here to prior CTs
- If CT chest from admission is not consistent with priors,
should have work up for possible indolent infection given
neutropenia and can consider bronch
- MELD 14 on discharge
- Consider working up patient for liver transplant list as he is
at high likelihood of having complication from his cholethiasis
and may need surgical intervention
- Patient was counseled to remain inpatient pending work up and
improvement of WBC. However, insisted on leaving. He was
counseled on risks and to return to ED at first sign of any
infection, fever, or not feeling well |

dysmotility on manometry. In recent admit: She was referred to
___ by her outpatient GI doctor, ___ expedited
workup of her dysphagia for solids (good liquid intake).
Nutrition saw and
noted patient was able to tolerate supplements. The GI consult
team saw the patient and recommended a barium swallow study that
showed mild esophageal dysmotility and mild reflux. She also
underwent a video swallow that revealed no upper esophageal
sphincter dysfunction despite very mild narrowing at the
sphincter, felt highly unlikely to be the cause of her symptoms.
A zinc level was sent to assess zinc deficiency as a source of
her dysphagia - which is low. The patient was started on
diltiazem for her esophageal spasms. Of note, atenolol and
amlodipine were held, and simvastatin was switched to
atorvastatin given the interaction between simvastatin and
diltiazem. At the time of discharge, the patient was able to
tolerate soft solids and liquids.

Radiology Report
CHEST, TWO VIEWS: ___
HISTORY: ___ female with productive cough and chills.
COMPARISON: Chest x-rays from ___ and ___.
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest. There are bibasilar
opacities identified, similar to prior exam. Some irregular linear component
is seen at the lateral aspect at the left lung base which is more conspicuous
than on ptiot. Superiorly, the lungs are clear. There is no pulmonary
vascular congestion. Trace bilateral effusions likely present given blunting
of the posterior costophrenic angles. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is
unchanged, notable for mild cardiomegaly. No acute osseous abnormality is
detected.
IMPRESSION: Bibasilar opacities more conspicuous linear opacities at the left
lung base. Findings may be due to pneumonia. Recommend repeat after
treatment to document resolution of the findings.

electrolyte levels and acute kidney injury.
# Dysphagia: The patient has a long-standing history of GERD,
___ esophagus, and recent diagnosis of 20% esophageal
dysmotility on manometry. Barium swallow study showed mild
esophageal dysmotility and mild reflux. She also underwent a
video swallow that revealed no upper esophageal sphincter
dysfunction despite very mild narrowing at the sphincter, felt
highly unlikely to be the cause of her symptoms. Zinc level low
so on zinc supplementation. Neurology evaluated the patient, and
does not think there is neurologic contribution to dysphagia,
recommended outpatient follow-up for cerebellar process.
Psychiatry also evaluated the patient, and did not think there
was any particular pathology but did think patient had poor
coping with her dysphagia. Nutritionist also evaluated the
patient adn created a concreate list of foods/liquids that
patient can tolerate while providing adequate calorie and
nutrition intake. PCP follow up was arranged for the patient
with recommendation for nutrition referral as an outpatient.
# Acute Kidney Injury: baseline 0.5-0.6 (likely from
malnourishment) but up to 2.7 on admission. The acute kidney
injury is likely secondary to volume depletion given history of
poor PO intake and use of furosemide, as well as possible ATN
from prolonged dehydration. Pt was resuscitated with fluid.
Microscopic examination of urine was normal. Her creatinine
decreased to 1.2 with continuous PO encouragement, this new
value may be reflective for patien'ts new baseline.
#Electrolyte disturbances: hyponatremia (baseline 130), low
potassium, magnesium, chloride consistent with severely poor PO
intake. also may have contribution from lasix. EKG was without
significant abnormalities. Electrolyte abnormalities resolved
after fluid resuscitation as well as electrolyte repletion. Pt
was instructed to take multivitamins with minerals to maintain
magnesium levels.
CHRONIC ISSUES ISSUES:
# Insomnia: The patient was continued on her home trazadone 50mg
without complications.
# ___ swelling: The patient takes furosemide at home. Given that
this like contributed or preipitated her electrolyte
abnormalities, the patient was encouarged to stop furosemide. |

Radiology Report
PICC LINE PLACEMENT
INDICATION: IV access needed for antibiotics.
The procedure was explained to the patient. A timeout was performed.
RADIOLOGIST: Dr. ___ performed the
procedure.
TECHNIQUE:
Initially the left basilic vein was accessed and a wire passed into the SVC
however due a combination of vasospasm and a stenosis at its junction with the
axillary vein, the PICC catheter could not be advanced despite multiple
attempts. A decision was made to perform a brachial vein puncture.
Using sterile technique and local anesthesia, the left brachial vein was
punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a micropuncture set. Hard
copies of ultrasound images were obtained before and immediately after
establishing intravenous access. A peel-away sheath was then placed over a
guidewire and a single-lumen PICC line measuring 40 cm in length was then
placed through the peel-away sheath with its tip positioned in the SVC under
fluoroscopic guidance. Position of the catheter was confirmed by a
fluoroscopic spot film of the chest.
The peel-away sheath and guidewire were then removed. The catheter was
secured to the skin, flushed, and a sterile dressing applied.
The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate
complications.
IMPRESSION:
Stenosis at the confluence of the left basilic and axillary veins precluding
PICC placement.
Ultrasound and fluoroscopically-guided single-lumen PICC line placement via
the left brachial venous approach. Final internal length is 40 cm, with the
tip positioned in SVC. The line is ready to use.

Monoarticular Arthralgia:
The patient's pain is well out of proportion to this exam.
Likely traumatic injury, and given his ability to ambulate he
does not have a tibial plateu fracture or other major bone
injury, and while he may have ligamentous or tendon injury these
are not likely to be serious given the benign exam. It is
possible that his falls are related to instability which might
indicate a ligament tear or meniscal injury, however, the pt is
back to baseline on his home pain regimen. Physical therapy was
called to see him who cleared him for home d/c. He already has
an outpatient MRI of his knee arranged from prior to the

Imaging:
# CXR ___: PA AND LATERAL CHEST RADIOGRAPH: The cardiac,
mediastinal and hilar contours are normal. Both lungs are clear
with no focal consolidation, or pleural effusion.
Atherosclerotic calcification is present in the left internal
carotid artery could be clinically significant and should be
brought to the attention of the patient's physician; ED QA
nurses were notified accordingly by receipted email.
# AP AND LATERAL SOFT TISSUE NECK ___: On the lateral view, at
the level of C5, there is more calcification than I can
comfortably attribute to the normal calcification in the
posterior of the cricoid cartilage. Some of the redundant
calcification is more sharply marginated than the rest could be
a small bone (the size of a chicken rib fragment) just above the
cricopharyngeus. The prevertebral soft tissue is normal--no
swelling or gas. Degenerative changes and anterior flowing
osteophytes are noted within the C4-5, C5-6, C6-7 vertebral
bodies. Atherosclerotic calcification in the left internal
carotid artery is heavy. Imaged lung apices are clear.
# CT NECK: IMPRESSION:
1. No radiopaque foreign body. The plain film finding is
accounted for by
internal carotid calcification.
2. Two 2-mm nodules in the right upper lobe which in the
absence of risk
factors such as smoking require no further followup. If patient
has risk
factors for lung cancer according to ___ criteria such as
smoking,
additional followup chest CT is recommended in 12 months.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with a question of foreign body seen on plain
film.
COMPARISON: Plain film of the neck performed ___.
TECHNIQUE: Helical CT images were acquired of the neck without contrast and
reformatted into coronal and sagittal planes.
FINDINGS: There is left internal carotid calcification just beyond the
bifurcation which appears atherosclerotic in nature, which accounts for the
findings visualized on the patient's recent plain radiograph. There is no
radiopaque foreign body. The soft tissues of the neck appear normal including
the thyroid.
There is multilevel degenerative change of the visualized cervical spine.
Incidental note is made of right ethmoidal osteoma. The visualized portions
of the paranasal sinuses are otherwise clear. Fluid is present within the
mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities bilatearlly, with chronic mastoid
sclerosis.
The lung apices are notable for two, 2-mm nodules in the right upper lobe (2;
13, 15).
IMPRESSION:
1. No radiopaque foreign body. The plain film finding is accounted for by
internal carotid calcification.
2. Two 2-mm nodules in the right upper lobe which in the absence of risk
factors such as smoking require no further followup. If patient has risk

recently worsened, poor PO intake, tachycardia, ___, and
supratherapeutic INR.
ACTIVE ISSUES
# DYSPHAGIA: The exact etiology for pt's dysphagia is still
unclear. Pt underwent neck X-ray and CT in the ED, without
evidence of foreign objects or mass. She also underwent EGD,
which showed a hiatal hernia with small tear vs erosion at EGJ,
a stomach polyp and erythema and erosion consistent with
gastritis. Pt also was evaluated by speech and swallow team,
whose studies showed normal swallowing with thin liquid, regular
and dry solids without concerns of aspriation. Yet, pt continue
to complain of dysphagia. She was therefore scheduled to have
motility studies at the ___ clinic. We started her on
pantoprazole 40 mg bid.
# SUPRATHERAPEUTIC INR: patient is on 2mg coumadin daily for
DVT/PE prophylaxis. Her INR on admission was 8.7 in the setting
of significantly decreased PO intake. She denies any history of
high INRs. No other clear etiology of the increase. We held her
coumadin initially, and gave her vitamin K 5 mg IV given the
need for urgent EGD.
# EKG CHANGES: Patient was found to have ST depressions and TWI
in the lateral and precordial leads. She has no known history of
CAD, but with carotid calcification on CXR suggesting likelihood
of coronary atherosclerosis. Her Tropononin were neg x3 during
this admission. There were never chest pain.
# ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY: Pt presented with ___ with Cr 2.5. Her
Cr improved with to 1.3 after fluid and nutrition support.
# HYPOTENSION: Pt has a history of hypertension. She however
presented with hypotension in the ED. We felt that this is from
dehydration and ___. We held her lisinopril, hydrocholothiazide
and amlodipine during this admission. Her BP at the discharge
was reassuring. We restarted her on amlodipine. |

___ which showed increased size of two hepatic metastases and
an exophytic lesion arising from the pylorus with new invasion
into the liver and slightly increased size of periportal
lymphadenopathy concerning for disease progression.
Subsequently, she developed symptoms of nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain and presented to ___ where a
repeat CT abd/pelvis on ___ re-demonstrated similar findings,
but with increased distension of her stomach since the prior

According to PCP (Dr. ___, ___, Ms.
___ weight was found to be down 47 pounds from ___ (175 lbs to 128 lbs) and down 15 lbs since ___ (143
lbs to 128 lbs). During this evaluation, she denied blood in her
stools or a family history of colon cancer, while refusing
consideration for a colonoscopy or FIT testing.
With regards to her chronic COPD, she is no longer able to
perform ADLs in her apartment because she becomes "stressed
out." Daily Home Healthcare services must assist her in cleaning
her house, and she endorses SOB whenever she exerts herself too
much. Ms. ___ endorses a cough with infrequent white phlegm
production for as long as she can remember.
She also endorses unspecified arthralgia. While she reports
abdominal pain that "comes and goes," she is unable to
characterize this pain because she doesn't remember. Although
she had dysuria on presentation, this has since resolved upon
receiving 1mg Ceftriaxone ___.

level of acuity: 3.0 | ___ is a ___ smoker with chronic HFpEF, paroxysmal
AFib (not on anticoagulation secondary to patient refusal),
craniopharyngeoma with subsequent panhypopituitarism
(DI/AI/hypothyroidism), CKD stage III (baseline Cr 2.0), and
COPD on home O2 2L who presents with failure to thrive without
having eaten or taken medications due to n/v (x2, white then
bilious) during 5 days prior to presentation, noting
intermittent abdominal pain and often productive cough, found to
have UTI, transaminitis, and possible COPD exacerbation.
# FTT - abdominal pain / nausea / anorexia: Patient presented
with intermittent tenderness to palpation in RUQ, yet
inconsistently reports pain. Most likely hepatotoxicity given
use of amiodarone therapy and transaminitis with AST>ALT
elevations (downtrending since ___ and modest-normal AlkPhos
elevations. ___ also have contributing depression given her
ability to eat (albeit decreased appetite) until brother's wife
departed from visiting Ms. ___ 1wk prior to Ms. ___
anorexia as well as impactful loss of her husband. Concerned
about malignancy given general malaise. CT Abd/Pel did not find
lesions but transudative pleural effusion w/u in the past was
not the best screening for cancer, esp given her long hx of
smoking. Unlikely mesenteric ischemia or biliary colic, although
this could drive previous subconscious nauseous reaction to
thought of food. Liver/GB US (___) describes focally
thickened GB fundus consistent with adenomyomatosis, also noting
cholelithiasis and a simple hepatic cyst. Patient does not
demonstrate symptoms typical for biliary colic. Currently
increasing dietary intake (___). HAV Ab positive indicating
past exposure to Hepatitis A virus. HCV Ab negative, HBsAg
negative, and HBsAb negative. GI consult unable to convince her

Patient on home O2 of 2L without current respiratory distress
but notable for increased cough +/- white sputum. Requiring 2L
to maintain O2sat 97% and requiring fluticasone-salmeterol
diskus 2x daily, montelukast, ipratropium-albuterol nebs w/
azithro during hospital stay. Presumed secondary to chronic CHF
vs. COPD exacerbation vs. PNA. Chest XR with possible infectious
process in L base, however symptoms inconsistent. Crackles but
no wheezing on exam. She was started on IV ceftriaxone and
azithromycin (for UTI and presumed COPD exacerbation, but would
also cover possible PNA), transitioned to PO Cefpodoxime and PO
azithromycin to be continued until ___. We continued inhalers,
montelukast, duonebs, and nasal spray.
# Social: Concern about her functioning status upon discharge
home. Spoke with brother, ___, who lives in ___
and ___ contacted Ms. ___ two weeks prior via phone
conversation. During this conversation, Mr. ___ insisted that
his sister went through rough times of being in and out of the
hospital following the passing of her husband, but had been
functioning well otherwise. He has hosted Ms. ___ at his
___ house several times over the past few years, and did
not notice any change in behavior. Since Ms. ___ usual
caretaker/home supporter, her cousin ___, has been visiting
___ recently, Mr. ___ wife has made two trips (1 wk, 3
___ to provide Ms. ___ with community. Mrs. ___ left two
___ ago, after which Ms. ___ called Mr. ___ to notify him
of her complete loss of appetite - "no matter how much she tried
to force food down." He has never heard her behave this way, but
he figured that the hospital would help her eat. When discussing
Ms. ___ discharge life planning, Mr. ___ would like for
Ms. ___ to move into his ___ house permanently,
where she has previously enjoyed her stay ___ yrs prior). He was
provided with Ms. ___ hospital room phone number, as she
has been unable to contact anyone due to her phone minutes
depletion. Although she may not have many local social supports,
she does have multiple ___ supports including a
___, telehealth, and a home care assistant. Her ___ was
contacted and had no concerns about patient's medication
compliance although agrees that patient has had a hard time
since her husband passed away. At time of discharge, patient
agrees that she would like to increase her food intake and is
amenable to appetite stimulants. She was seen by the inpatient
palliative care team as well and may benefit from palliative
care to help with her appetite.

FINDINGS:
The patient is status post coronary artery bypass graft surgery. There is a
moderate-sized hiatal hernia, as before. The cardiac, mediastinal and hilar
contours appear stable. Calcified pleural plaques are discernible at the base
of the right chest, as before. The lungs appear clear. No fracture is
identified.
IMPRESSION:
No evidence of injury.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: RIGHT KNEE RADIOGRAPHS
INDICATION: Right knee pain. Question fracture.
COMPARISON: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Right knee, three views.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence for fracture, dislocation, bone destruction or joint
effusion. The medial compartment is moderate to severely narrowed with
moderate-sized marginal osteophytes. Vascular calcifications are widespread.
IMPRESSION:
No evidence of injury. Moderate to severe medial osteoarthritis, similar to
prior findings. Vascular calcifications.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: NO_PO contrast; History: ___ with s/p fall, headache, R flank
pain and ttp of R lower ribs at mid clavicular lineNO_PO contrast // head
bleed? C spine fx? RP hematoma? R lower rib fx?
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the abdomen and pelvis were acquired
without intravenous contrast. Non-contrast scan has several limitations in
detecting vascular and parenchymal organ abnormalities, including tumor
detection.
Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and submitted to PACS for
review.
Oral contrast was not administered.
DOSE: DLP: 279 mGy-cm (abdomen and pelvis.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis on ___.
FINDINGS:
LOWER CHEST:
Calcified pleural plaques again seen. Lungs are clear. Moderate hiatal hernia.
The patient is status post coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
ABDOMEN: Lack of IV contrast limits evaluation.
HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout.
There is no evidence of focal lesions. There is no evidence of intrahepatic
or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder shows hyperdense content,
possibly new sludge but potentially related to a recent contrast injection
with vicarious excretion of contrast.
PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of
focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic
stranding.
SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without
evidence of focal lesions.
ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape.
URINARY: The kidneys show vague nephrograms which may indicate a prior
contrast injection. There is no evidence of stones, focal renal lesions or
hydronephrosis. There are no urothelial lesions in the kidneys or ureters.
There is no perinephric abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: Slight protrusion of small bowel into inguinal hernias
appears unchanged and nonobstructive.
Diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon is noted, without evidence of wall
thickening and fat stranding.. Appendix contains air, has normal caliber
without evidence of fat stranding. Hyperdense content in the proximal colon
is not specific but commonly due to medication adminstration.
RETROPERITONEUM: There is no evidence of retroperitoneal and mesenteric
lymphadenopathy.
VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. There is no calcium burden
in the abdominal aorta and great abdominal arteries. No evidence of
retroperitoneal hematoma.
PELVIS:
The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is no evidence
of pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is no free fluid in the pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Prostate is enlarged.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES:
There is no evidence of worrisome lesions. Pagetoid changes involving the L1
vertebral body are unchanged. Degenerative changes are stable.
IMPRESSION:
No evidence of retroperitoneal hematoma. No other acute pathology identified.
Moderate to large hiatal hernia.
Enlarged irregular prostate without clear change; malignancy is not excluded
however.
Faint corticomedullary nephrograms and hyperdense gallbladder contents, which
could be seen with slow excretion of a recent contrast injection in the
appropriate setting; correlation with whether there has been a recent
injection, as well as with renal function, is recommended.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: HEAD CT
INDICATION: Status post fall with headache.
TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT.
DOSE: 891.9 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None. Technique:
FINDINGS:
There are mild age-related involutional changes. Calcifications are present
within each basal ganglia. A few small lucencies in each basal ganglia may
represent very small prior lacunar infarcts or, perhaps less likely, enlarged
perivascular spaces. Vague areas of white matter hypodensity in each internal
capsule as well as in left subinsular white matter suggest chronic small
vessel ischemic disease. A very small lacunar infarct is also noted in the
left anterior internal capsule. Mild focal volume loss in the left parietal
lobe suggests a small remote prior infarct. However, there is no evidence for
acute territorial infarction. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage
or injury.
Soft tissue structures are unremarkable. No fracture is identified. Each
maxillary sinus, partially visualize, shows opacification and wall thickening
suggesting chronic inflammatory disease of paranasal sinuses. Mild ethmoid
sinus mucosal thickening is also noted. The mastoid air cells appear clear.
The cavernous carotid and vertebral arteries are heavily calcified. Ophthalmic
arteries are calcified.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of acute intracranial process or injury.
2. White matter disease probably due to small vessel related ischemic change
and small probably chronic lacunar infarcts.
3. Findings suggesting chronic inflammatory disease of paranasal sinuses.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CERVICAL SPINE CT
INDICATION: Status post fall with headache.
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the cervical spine were obtained
without intravenous contrast. Sagittal and coronal reformations were also
performed.
DOSE: 906.9 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: No prior dedicated cervical spine CT. Chest CT is available from
___.
FINDINGS:
There is no spondylolisthesis. Moderate osteophytes are present anteriorly
from the C3-C4 through C6-C7 levels. The C6-C7 interspace is moderate to
severely narrowed with subchondral sclerosis along the endplates that is
moderately striking. Throughout the levels from C2-C3 through C5-C6, there are
moderate degenerative changes including hypertrophy along the facet joints on
the left. Facet arthropathy also involves the left T1-T2 level. There is no
evidence for fracture, dislocation or bone destruction. Vascular
calcifications are extensive. Internal carotid arteries are tortuous. There
are a number of small nodules at each lung apex, the largest measuring 5 mm.
These are probably predominantly bronchovascular and probably reflect chronic
inflammatory process; nodules have changed somewhat in distribution but
findings are overall similar to what the prior chest CT showed.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of acute injury.
2. Moderate cervical spondylosis.
3. Multiple nodules of the lung apices, probably inflammatory and suggesting
that a chronic process, such as perhaps atypical mycobacterial infection, has
persisted. However, only the lung apices are imaged on this study.

Attending: ___.
Chief Complaint:
unsteady gait
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ year old right-handed woman with a history of
unprovoked DVT, primary generalized epilepsy on 3 AEDs who
presents for evaluation of worsening slurred speech, dizziness,
and unsteady gait.
Her epilepsy history will be reviewed in brief, but for more
complete course please see Dr. ___ clinic note from
___.
Per Dr. ___, "she first began to have absence seizures
at
___ years old, described as brief loss of awareness in the middle
of a conversation. During these events she would often come to
and realize she was in a different part of the room that prior.
She was evaluated at ___, diagnosed with
epilepsy and strated on a medication (unknown). At the age of
___,
she had her first GTC, with her second roughly ___ years later.
Since this time she has been having ___ perhaps yearly.
Currently, she has been experiencing roughly 10+ absence
seizures
per day. She has been on multiple different AEDs (as below) and
is currently on a three-drug regimen (Levetiracetam, Lacosamide
and Perampanel plus PRN lorazepam) with persistently poor
seizure
control.
Prior admissions to the ___ EMU have captured episodes of
behavioral
arrest associated with ___ Hz generalized spike-and-wave
discharges, as well as interictal generalized spike-and-wave
discharges.
Of note, she has recently developed a new type of spell in ___ consisting of twitching movements on the right side of her
face. After several minutes, the twitching resolved and she then
had numbness in her right face which spread down to her right
hand over the course of ~1 minute. The numbness persisted
through
the rest of the day until she went to bed. When she awoke the
next morning, it had
completely resolved."
She called her OSH Neurologist and told him about this new type
of seizure episode, and he asked her to taper off quickly from
Acetazolamide. The following day she has recently had 2 ___ on
___ and was admitted to ___, where she states
she
had a ___. She was started on Fycompa at that time and has
uptitrated from 2 mg to 6 mg over the past 3 weeks, with plan to
increase to 8 mg on ___. Per Dr. ___, "Since starting
Fycoma and frequent "muscle spasms" which she describes as
jerking movements in her bilateral shoulders, or unilaterally in
her hands or feet. These are very brief. She feels she has been
more clumsy as well - dropped a coffee cup and a Christmas
ornament recently, which felt as if they were being "pushed out
of my hand". She denies a history of myoclonic jerks during
childhood or at any point in the past, although one ___
discharge summary from ___ does report a complaint of
sporadic
twitching movements at times."
Dr. ___ the patient last week and noted bilateral
direction
changing nystagmus, asterixus, and R end point tremor. She had
planned to get a repeat MRI brain to rule out a structural
lesion
such as stroke which could have caused this new type of episode
as described above, and then admit to the EMU for medication
titration. It was felt that medication toxicity from Fycompa was
contributing to her asterixus and slurred speech.
However, this weekend the patient had worsening of her symptoms
on and off throughout the weekend. Her symptoms tended to be
worst around dinner time after taking her medications, and
better
in the mornings. She described slurred speech and drooling. No
facial droop. There was an increase in the jerking movements as
described above. This weekend, her hands seemed even clumsier,
and she recalls trying to brush her teeth with her R hand and
completely missing her teeth and making a mess. In the evenings
she has also had some episodes of dizziness which she describes
as "head spinning" and "unbalanced." When this happens she has
to
lean over and hold her head, and feels nauseous and terrible.
She
also noted worsening gait this weekend, and kept falling into
walls (not one side more than another). Her legs also felt like
they were giving way, on both sides equally. Her father noted
that she seemed "lethargic" and "out of it."
Per Dr. ___ and confirmed with patient:"
SEIZURE TYPES:
FIRST CLINICAL SEIZURE TYPE: absence seizures. Began at age ___.
Described as loss of time (will be having a conversation, then
suddenly lose awareness for a few seconds and return to
consciousness in a different part of the room). Described by her
daughter and father as spells where she stops speaking and
stares
ahead, unable to speak or interact.
-Frequency: currently at least 10/day (possibly more, as pt only
aware of them when they interrupt conversations)
-Postictal symptoms: none
-Seizure free interval: none. Has been having multiple events
per
day since onset in teens.
SECOND CLINICAL SEIZURE TYPE: generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
Began at age ___, and have occurred ~once/year since then. They
are occasionally preceded by aura of smelling a "wet dog". Then
has tonic stiffening and generalized tonic-clonic convulsions.
+Tongue bite with every seizure, no urinary incontinence.
-Frequency: ~one/year. Several years ago, had four in 1 day
(with
full return of consciousness between each). Most recently, had 2
___ in one day on ___.
-History of status epilepticus: NO
-Post-ictal symptoms: fatigue, confusion, nausea.
THIRD CLINICAL SEIZURE TYPE: ?focal motor seizure (vs. complex
migraine?) which occurred only once on ___. Right facial
twitching for several minutes, followed by numbness that began
in
the right face and spread rapidly into the right hand,
persisting
for at least 12 hours and resolving completely by the following
morning. No speech arrest or altered awareness with the event.
Did have a stabbing right-sided headache throughout the day of
the event, possibly preceding seizure onset.
- Frequency: only one (___)
FOURTH CLINICAL SEIZURE TYPE: ?myoclonic jerks (versus
asterixis). Started after most recent GTC on ___. Describes
sudden, random twitches in her bilateral shoulders, hands and
feet. Also increased clumsiness and dropping things (coffee cup
felt like it "flew out of her hand"). No history of morning
myoclonus or sleep twitches earlier in life. Possibly a side
effect of Perampanel?
---> Possible lateralizing signs by history are: right facial
twitching suggests possible new seizure focus in right motor
cortex. "Wet dog smell" preceding ___ raises question of mesial
temporal lobe aura.
SEIZURE TRIGGERS: sleep deprivation, stress, flashing lights
(cause her to feel sick "like I have emptiness in my head")
RISK FACTORS FOR SEIZURES: Paternal aunt with epilepsy (___)
and
has a son with generalized epilepsy. Has another paternal aunt
with ___ who died at age ___ from a seizure. Had two minor head
injuries as a child (fell off bike with head strike, and
collided
with a dog, neither clearly with LOC). Highest level of
education
was high school; had trouble in grade school due to frequent
absence seizures causing poor attention. No meningitis or
encephalitis, no developmental delays.
"
On neuro ROS, the pt denies headache, loss of vision, blurred
vision, diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, lightheadedness,
vertigo, tinnitus or hearing difficulty. Dysarthria as described
above but denies aphasia, and speech improved today per patient
and family. Denies focal weakness, numbness, parasthesiae. No
bowel or bladder incontinence or retention. Endorses gait
instability.
On general review of systems, the pt denies recent fever or
chills. No night sweats or recent weight loss or gain. Endorses

repair who presented with chest pain and was found to have
bilateral PEs.
# PULMONARY EMBOLISM: She was found to have large bilateral
pulmonary emboli. It was likely provoked by her recent
orthopedic surgery and subsequent immobility. Her case was
discussed with her oncologist, who felt that this was not likely
related to her malignancy as she has been in remission for the
last year. Her Chest CT and subsequent TTE showed some evidence
of right heart strain with dilation of the right ventricle.
However, LV function was not impaired and the patient did not
have any clinical evidence of hemodynamic compromise (no
hypotension, tachycardia only with exertion). She had lower
extremity venous dopplers that also showed DVT. She was started
on therapeutic lovenox to bridge to warfarin.
# Achilles repair (___): She was evaluated by physical
therapy who recommended the patient continue with ___, wear
bearing on LLE with boot. She will require ambulance or lift
assistance with the stairs to her apartment and will need to be
homebound for now.
# Pulmonary nodule: The patient was incidentally found to have a
4mm pulmonary nodule on Chest CT. She will need follow-up
imaging in one year.
# Glaucoma: Continued eye drops

Patient presented to ___ clinic on ___ for routine blood
count check and transfusion. The patient's plt count was 14 and
hgb 7.1. He refused pre-medication with APAP and Benadryl. He
received his first unit of plt with a post transfusion plt count
of 18. However, his Hgb decreased to 4.9 and was subsequently
transfused 1u of PRBC. This transfusion was complicated by
chills
but stable vital signs for which he took APAP and benadryl. He
then received a second unit of plts. During this time he became
febrile to 102.7. Other vitals were BP 152/73 HR 99 R 18 and 95%

INDICATION: ___ year old man with AML// ? PNA on CXR, would like to evaluate
for pulmonary infiltrates given prolonged neutrapenia
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the chest without
intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were obtained.
COMPARISON: Chest CT ___. Chest x-ray ___.
FINDINGS:
HEART AND VASCULATURE: The thoracic aorta is normal in caliber. The heart,
pericardium, and great vessels are within normal limits based on an unenhanced
scan. No pericardial effusion is seen. A right-sided Port-A-Cath tip
terminates near the cavoatrial junction. Moderate coronary artery
calcifications.
AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: No axillary or mediastinal lymphadenopathy is
present. No mediastinal mass or hematoma.
PLEURAL SPACES: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
LUNGS/AIRWAYS: Multiple, multifocal ground-glass opacities are most
predominant within the right upper lobe (for example, 5:107, 5:119), also
present within the left upper lobe (5:133, 5:174), likely infectious or
inflammatory in etiology. Mild, bibasilar atelectasis.
Multiple pulmonary nodules are as follows:
4 mm right apical pulmonary nodule (5:72) appears stable.
5 mm pulmonary nodule within the right middle lobe (05: 181).
Adjacent 3 mm pulmonary nodules within the right upper lobe (5:130).
2 mm pulmonary nodule within the left upper lobe (5:126)
The airways are patent to the level of the segmental bronchi bilaterally.
BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality.

Radiology Report
LEFT ELBOW RADIOGRAPHS
HISTORY: Radius and ulna fractures.
COMPARISONS: None.
TECHNIQUE: Left wrist, elbow, and forearm, total of six views.
FINDINGS:
There are complete fractures through the mid portion of both the radius and
ulna including mild displacement of the radial fracture with mild
foreshortening. There is minimal displacement but mild angulation at the
ulnar fracture site. Each fracture is oblique with slight comminution.
There is a small irregularity along the radial side of the mid portion of the
scaphoid, very doubtful for a fracture but correlation with physical
examination is suggested. A very small oval ossific fragment near the ulnar
styloid may represent remote prior injury versus a normal ossicle, but again
doubtful as sequela of acute injury.
IMPRESSION: Radius and ulna fractures. Small irregularity along the
scaphoid, doubtful for fracture, but correlation with physical findings
suggested.
Radiology Report
RADIOGRAPHS OF THE LEFT FOREARM
HISTORY: Status post reduction.
COMPARISONS: Earlier radiographs of the same day.
TECHNIQUE: Left forearm, two views.
FINDINGS: An overlying splint has been placed. There is dorsal displacement
of the distal fragment of the mid radial fracture along the mid shaft by
nearly a shaft width. Displacement of the ulnar fracture is slight.
IMPRESSION: Fractures of the radius and ulna, each along the mid diaphysis,
with mild displacement of the radial fracture.
Radiology Report
STUDY: Left forearm ___.
CLINICAL HISTORY: ORIF of forearm fracture.
FINDINGS: Post-operative images of the forearm demonstrate placement of

transferred
from ___ after he presented with an acute onset episode
of being unable to speak or move his extremities which slowly
resolved over several hours with CTA showing stenosis of the
left
vertebral artery. Neurology is consulted for further work-up.
History obtained from the patient and his wife. He woke up this
morning he was at his recent baseline which is notable for
progressive issues with cognition over the past ___ years (he
repeats questions, has trouble with names, forgets
conversations,
gets confused re the date). He went out to mow the grass on the
riding lawn mower. Around ___ he reports that he suddenly lost
control of the ability to move his arms or legs. He did not lose
tone or pass out. Due to this he ran the lawn rower into the
fire
pit. This caught his wife's attention and she rushed over to
check on him. She reports that he was looking dazed and
answering
"yes" or "no" questions but not following commands or speaking.
Patient says that he heard his wife talking to him but could not
tell what she was saying to him. She did try to help him stand
up
off the lawn ___ which he was able to do with significant
support. He reports that he did not have any vision change,
tingling or numbness. He does report that he had pain in the
back
of his neck but no other headache. He also felt dizziness off
and
on which was not spinning but rather a lightheaded sensation.
He was initially taken to ___ at which time he was
improving slowly. He initially could say his name but was not
talking. He reportedly couldn't lift up legs but would dorsiflex
and plantar flex his feet; he had full strength in the arms and
was otherwise reportedly neuro intact. His sbp was 200s
initially. His BG was 147 and otherwise labs unremarkable. He
had
CTH showing atrophy and microvascular changes and CTA with
extracranial and intracranial atherosclerosis with right
vertebral stenosis. He slowly progressed back to normal while at
___ but was transported to ___ for further evaluation
and management.
At ___ he feels essentially back to normal. Perhaps slightly
off balance. He denies fatigue or shaking after the event, loss
of bowel or bladder function. He denies recent illness. He
denies
new medications. He has never had a stroke or seizure.
Of note, his wife reports his cognitive decline has been
progressive for at least over a year. He has also had about ___
falls in the past year which has not been evaluated formally but
he is doing ___ therapy. She tells me he falls backward when he
falls. She says some days he seems more lucid than others. He
also has had some anxiety over the past year which is also
episodic. No hallucinations. He has had no bowel or bladder
symptoms. He does report anosmia for several years, increasingly
quiet voice and restless leg syndrome. He is not sure if he
moves
in the night as his wife does not sleep with him due to restless
leg syndrome. He has no tremors. Retrospectively, I see a note
from neurology in ___ by Dr. ___ patient was having some
foot numbness right>left. At that time he had EMG which showed
chronic lumbosacral polyradiculopathy. There was mild
degenerative changes on MRI L spine.

COMPARISON Outside CTA head ___.
FINDINGS:
Study is moderately degraded by motion. Within these confines:
There is no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, edema, mass, or mass effect.
The ventricles and sulci are prominent, compatible with global parenchymal
volume loss.
Extensive periventricular, pontine and subcortical T2 and FLAIR
hyperintensities are noted which may represent small vessel ischemic changes.
There is trace ethmoid air cell mucosal thickening. The mastoids appear
clear. Major intracranial vascular flow voids are preserved.

'stuck' or 'shut down', with particular difficulty moving both
legs, with preserved ability to stand and walk with assistance.
This does not localized to a focal neurologic deficit and is
therefore unlikely to reflect TIA. The closest localization
would be bilateral ACA territory, and to have vascular lesion in
this region alone requires an azygous ACA, which Mr. ___ does
not have. MRI brain confirmed no ischemia, but showed atrophy
and severe microvascular white matter changes. CTA head/neck
shows scattered moderate atherosclerotic changes, but they are
unlikely to be related to the etiology of this event given that
it cannot be localized to a vascular territory.
Possible etiologies for the event include hypertensive
encephalopathy (supported by SBP>200 on EMS arrival), arrhythmia
or vasovagal event(supported by pallor). Seizure possible, but
less likely. Extended routine EEG performed prior to discharge,
results pending at time of discharge but preliminarily without
epileptic activity.
Additionally, his history of a year or more of fluctuating
cognitive decline, falls (all backward), anosmia, restless leg
syndrome, combined with his exam findings of masked facies,
reduced blink rate, hypophonia, slowed and hypometric upward
saccades, bradykinesia and rigidity that augments, as well as
postural instability with retropulsion all raise high suspicion
for an underlying neurodegenerative condition, likely a
Parkinsonian syndrome. He will need follow up with Neurology.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: HEAD CT
INDICATION: Head trauma.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT.
DOSE: Dose: 891.9 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
The lung both sides of the falx within the frontal and anterior parts of a
parietal lobes there are moderate areas of subarachnoid hemorrhage and a small
subdural component at the site is also likely. There is an extensive but thin
subdural hemorrhage on the left overlying primarily the left frontal and
temporal convexities. Its maximal width is 3 mm. There are a number of small
intraparenchymal hemorrhages in the left frontal lobe, the large measuring up
to 7 mm although mostly 2-3 mm. There is a suspected tiny hemorrhage along
the right corpus callosum. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is also moderately
extensive along the medial left middle cranial fossa with involvement of the
left temporal sulci including extensive along part of the Sylvian fissure. A
much smaller amount of right anterior frontal subarachoid hemorrhage is also
present separately. A focus of acute hemorrhage is also detected in the body
of the right lateral ventricle near the midline. There is no mass effect.
Bony and soft tissue injuries are discussed in the separate report regarding
facial bones. Although there are fractures of each sphenoid wing, none is
displaced or depressed into the cranium.
IMPRESSION:
Extensive acute intracranial hemorrhage, including subcortical
intraparenchymal hemorrhages worrisome for shear injuries.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT OF THE FACIAL BONES
INDICATION: Head trauma.
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the facial bones were obtained without
intravenous contrast. Sagittal and coronal reformations were also performed.
DOSE: 552.8 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Intracranial injury is described in the separate dedicated report. On this
examination facial bone fractures and soft tissue injuries are described.
On the left, there is a fracture of the greater wing of the sphenoid at the
posterior left orbital wall near the apex (2:43) with minimal inward bowing of
bony fragments that contact the lateral rectus close to its origin. This
fracture extends posteriorly toward the anterior wall of the left middle
cranial fossa but without displacement. The lateral rectus is perhaps
minimally swollen but not to a striking degree. More distally, fractures
involving the medial, lateral and posterior lateral left maxillary walls as
well as the zygomatic arch. There are also fractures involving the inferior
orbital wall with involvement of the infraorbital foramen. Accompanying these
fractures is an extraconal hemorrhage in the left orbit which measures up to
about 3 mm thickness predominantly along the superior aspect of the orbit with
a smaller inferior aspect measuring up to 2 mm. This latter area of
hemorrhage contacts the inferior rectus which bows downward somewhat in
association with the inferior fracture, although fat and muscle do not appear
in trapped superior to the orbital floor.
In the right orbit, there is a small extraconal hemorrhage, particularly along
the superior orbit, where it measures up to 2 mm in maximal width. This is
again a fracture of the posterior lateral orbit wall in the greater sphenoid
wing, but on this side, a hairline fracture without any displacement.
Mild deformity of the nasal bones is probably also due to the acute trauma and
includes overlying soft tissue swelling.
Opacification is widespread along the nasal cavity and ethmoid sinuses as well
as maxillary, sphenoid, and frontal sinus opacification with hemorrhagic fluid
levels. The nasal septum is deviated to the right with thickening although not
necessarily hemorrhagic content.
Multiple dental fillings are present but teeth are partly obscured by streak
artifact. Patchy cavernous carotid calcifications are present. Anterior soft
tissues are markedly swollen with widespread but mostly superficial soft
tissue hemorrhage that is particularly prominent about each orbit. Each globe
shows mild proptosis and the optic nerves appear straightened; this may be due
to some mass from orbital hemorrhages but since it is symmetric it may be a
background finding.
IMPRESSION:
Fractures primarily involving the left orbit including involvement of
posterior lateral and inferior walls. At the latter site inbowing bone may
impinge slightly on the lateral rectus. Inferior rectus appears perhaps
pulled downward somewhat but not herniated within the defect; instead there is
possible tethering however. Small intraconal hemorrhages on both sides
accompanied by bilateral proptosis although not necessarily due to trauma;
correlation with physical findings is suggested. Fractures involving the left
maxillary sinus walls and zygomatic arch.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ man with facial trauma and neck pain.
TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast multidetector helical CT scan through the cervical
spine was performed. Image data processed to generate 2.5 mm axial soft
tissue algorithm, 2.5 mm axial bone algorithm, coronal, and sagittal image
series.
DOSE: DLP: 768.02 mGy-cm; CTDIvol: 36.84 mGy.
COMPARISON: None available.
FINDINGS:
There is no acute fracture or alignment abnormality. There is no prevertebral
soft tissue swelling. There are multilevel degenerative changes of the
cervical spine, particularly at C5-C6 for a posterior disc osteophyte complex
indents the thecal sac. Limited, non-contrast appearance of the included soft
tissues is unremarkable. Calcification is extensive at the right carotid
bulb. No concerning abnormality is seen in the included upper lungs.
IMPRESSION:
No evidence of acute cervical spine fracture or subluxation.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: Trauma.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, supine AP portable.
FINDINGS:
The heart is probably at the upper limits of normal size. The upper
mediastinum is mildly widened but with preservation of the normal aortic
contour aside from calcification along the arch. Streaky left basilar opacity
suggests minor atelectasis. Otherwise, the lungs appear clear. There no
pleural effusions or pneumothorax. No fracture is identified.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT TORSO W/CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ man with chest pain, left lower quadrant abdominal
pain after being found down with obvious trauma to face.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT acquired axial images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis were
obtained after administration of 130 mL Omnipaque intravenous contrast.
Enteric contrast was not given. Coronal and sagittal reformats prepared and
reviewed.
DOSE: DLP: 938.16 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None available.
FINDINGS:
CHEST:
The imaged thyroid is normal. There is no axillary, supraclavicular,
mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. The thoracic aorta
and pulmonary artery are normal in size. There is extensive atherosclerotic
calcification of the thoracic aorta, the arch vessels, and the coronary
arteries. There are calcifications of the aortic valve. The heart is
structurally normal and there is no pericardial effusion.
Aside from bilateral dependent atelectasis, the lungs are clear without
parenchymal or interstitial abnormality. The airways are patent. There are no
concerning pulmonary nodules. There is no pneumothorax or pleural effusion.
ABDOMEN:
The density of the liver is low suggesting fatty infiltration. Although not
definitive the possibility of advanced liver disease is not excluded; indeed
there are possible early morphological changes such as caudate enlargement and
mild undulation of the outer surface of the left lateral segments. The
gallbladder and biliary tree are normal. The pancreas is normal, without focal
lesion or duct dilation. The spleen is mildly enlarged, measuring up to 13.2
cm in length. The adrenal glands are normal. The kidneys enhance normally and
excrete contrast briskly. There are no solid renal lesions or hydronephrosis.
There is an exophytic 15 mm simple cyst in the upper pole the right kidney.
There is a small to moderate paraesophageal hiatal hernia. The small bowel and
large bowel are normal in caliber, without wall thickening or mass. Sigmoid
diverticulosis is moderate.
There is no intra- or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. There is no ascites,
fluid collection, or pneumoperitoneum. The aorta is heavily calcified. There
is a 3.5 cm (anteroposterior dimension, which is the longest axis) infrarenal
abdominal aortic aneurysm. The portal vein and IVC are patent.
PELVIS:
The urinary bladder is without wall thickening or mass. The rectum is
unremarkable. There is no pelvic mass. There is no free fluid. There is no
pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There are brachytherapy seeds within the
prostate gland.A few small rim-calcified densities in the abdomen are doubtful
in significance.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES:
There is no acute fracture. There are no destructive osseous lesions
concerning for malignancy or infection. There are no soft tissue masses.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of acute traumatic injury to the chest, abdomen, or pelvis. No
fracture identified.

in 6 months is recommended.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old man with facial trauma and multi-focal ICH after fall
from standing height. Please perform scan at 0600. // Evolution of SAH and
IVH?
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain
without the administration of IV contrast. Reformatted coronal, sagittal and
thin section bone algorithm-reconstructed images were then generated.
DOSE: CTDIvol: 52.22 mGy
DLP: 891.93 mGy-cm
COMPARISON: CT head and CT facial bones dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Redemonstrated are multiple foci of intracranial hemorrhage. This includes
left frontal and parafalcine subdural hematoma, bilateral intraventricular
hemorrhage in occipital horns, intraparenchymal hemorrhage within the
bilateral frontoparietal and left temporal lobes, and subarachnoid hemorrhage
along the left sylvian fissure. A foci of intraparenchymal hemorrhage within
the right frontal lobe appears new. Otherwise, the overall degree of
hemorrhage is relatively stable, allowing for interval redistribution of blood
products.
The basal cisterns remain grossly patent and there is no evidence of downward
herniation. Prominent ventricles and sulci likely represent age related
atrophy . Redemonstrated are numerous facial bone fractures and a left frontal
subgaleal hematoma and soft tissue swelling in the face, left more than right,
better evaluated on the recent CT maxillofacial examination. There is
persistent opacification of the bilateral ethmoidal air cells, left maxillary
sinus (likely hemorrhage), and right sphenoid sinus. Mucosal thickening is
noted within the left sphenoid and right maxillary sinuses. The middle ear
cavities and mastoid air cells are clear.
IMPRESSION:
Redistribution of multifocal intracranial hemorrhage, as above. A single focus
of right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage appears new. No evidence of
downward herniation.
Note on attending reviewe:
A few foci of intraparenchymal hemorrhage in the left frontal lobe and in the
left middle cranial fossa are slightly increased compared to the recent CT

review of the patient's past medical records, the patient is at
baseline leukopenic between ___.
# Stage IV Decubitus Ulcer
Wound care consulted and recommended aggressive wound care.
Given CRP of 166 in the setting of a decubitus ulcer,
osteomyelitis underlying this ulcer was consider as a potential
contributing factor. However, the patient quickly improved with
treatment of her UTI. The possibility and further work-up of
osteomyelitis was discussed with healthcare proxy. HCP did not
wish to pursue invasive work-up or wound debridement. Given
these care goals, MRI was not done and surgery was not consulted
for debridement. Wound care was continued and will be continued
at rehab after discharge.
# HTN:
Antihypertensives were held in the setting of admission
hypotension. After IVF, BP normalized and patient remained
normotensive in house. Medications were held at time of
discharge with recommendation to restart as an outpatient if
needed. |

History of Present Illness:
___ with a history of HTN, HLD, CAD, prostate carcinoma, and
likely dementia who presents for GIB and NSTEMI.
Much of the history was obtained via review of chart. The pt's
granddaughter who was with him in the ED stated that she noticed
he was more confused and unsteady over the past few days with
complaints of weakness and difficulty ambulating. The pt has a
history of iron deficiency on iron replacement so his stools are
chronically dark appearing, however in this time frame he noted
that there was increased frequency of stooling and a change in
smell. The patient was taken to ___ where Hbg was found to
be 7.5, BUN 54, and creatinine of 2.0. Studies were notable for
___ US negative for DVT, CXR w/ densely calcified bilateral
pleural plaques are chronic. No acute consolidation pleural
fluid or pneumothorax, and CT head w/o acute intracranial
abnormality. He was subsequently transferred to ___ ED for
further work up and GI evaluation.
ED course notable for stable vital signs but he had frank melena
on exam and labs were revealing for Hbg 6.7, Cr 2.1, and
troponin of 0.54 and then 0.51 on repeat. His EKG was at first
stable from priors, but serial EKGs showed the development of an
intermittent LBBB.
GI was consulted and recommended initiation of PPI, as well as
trending H/H and making the pt NPO after midnight for possible
scope in the AM. Cardiology was consulted and advised also
trending troponins, continue full dose statin, and obtaining a
full TTE.
The pt was admitted to the MICU for further management. On
arrival to the MICU, the pt was comfortably laying in bed. He
was completely asymptomatic and denied any chest pain, SOB,
abdominal pain, fatigue, or changes in stool. He was unable to
respond appropriately to orientation questions and further
history was limited.

========
TTE ___
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is no evidence for an
atrial septal defect by 2D/color Doppler. There is mild
symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with a normal cavity
size. There is mild regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction with distal anterior/apical hypokinesis (see
schematic). No thrombus or mass is seen in the left ventricle.
Quantitative biplane left ventricular ejection fraction is 40 %.
No ventricular septal defect is seen. There is Grade I diastolic
dysfunction. Mildly dilated right ventricular cavity with normal
free wall
motion. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is
normal. The aortic sinus diameter is normal for gender with
normal ascending aorta diameter for gender. There is no evidence
for an aortic arch coarctation.
The aortic valve leaflets are severely thickened. There is
severe aortic valve stenosis (valve area index less than 0.6
cm2/m2). There is trace aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. There is mild [1+] mitral
regurgitation. Due to acoustic shadowing, the severity of mitral
regurgitation could be UNDERestimated. There is mild pulmonic
regurgitation. The tricuspid valve is not well seen. There is
mild [1+] tricuspid regurgitation. There is moderate to severe
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is a trivial
pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior TTE ___ , there are no major
changes in extent of wall motion abnormality, but the suboptimal
image quality of the studies precludes definitive comparison.
Aortic stenosis severity has worsened.
CXR ___
Moderate pulmonary edema is new. Given the severity of pleural
calcification obscuring large areas of lung, subtle pneumonia
might not be appreciated. Small pleural effusions are likely.
Borderline cardiomegaly unchanged.
CXR ___
Unchanged calcified pleural plaques, somewhat obscure optimal
evaluation of the underlying lungs, within this limitation there
is improvement in pulmonary edema relative to ___
with no new lobar consolidation.
Mild cardiomegaly.
CT Chest ___
1. No evidence of pneumonia.
2. Subpleural reticulation and nodularity with parenchymal
bands, most
concerning for early asbestosis in this patient (numerous
calcified pleural plaques in keeping with prior asbestos
exposure). Alternatively, it is possible the reticulation could
simply be age-related if clinical suspicion is low.
CXR ___
Overall, slight interval improvement of diffuse bilateral
extensive
parenchymal opacities compared to the radiograph performed 1 day
prior.

history of HTN, HLD, CAD, prostate carcinoma and dementia who
presents with GIB, NSTEMI, and hypoxia.
# GIB
# Acute blood loss anemia
Granddaughter reported change in stool appearance, increased
confusion, tremulousness and nearly collapsing at home, thought
to have melena on exam in ED, though more difficult to tell due
to chronically taking iron. Symptoms were most suspicious of
upper GIB given reports of melena. He was hypotensive to SBP 88
on arrival to ___, clinically improved after 2u pRBC with
no further episodes of hypotension, though was in the MICU on
arrival, quickly transitioned to the floor. He was started on
PPI. Risk/benefit of EGD was discussed extensively with
granddaughter. Patient underwent EGD ___ which was unrevealing
for a source of bleeding. Attempted to prep for colonoscopy to
further evaluate multiple times but patient was unable to
tolerate the prep and given his clinical stability, this was
deferred. He was discharged home with 40 mg daily Pantoprazole
for presumed UGIB which he could continue for empiric 8 week
course. He should have GI followup outpatient. Iron supplement
was held on discharge while on treatment for UTI.
# Pulmonary Edema
# Acute on chronic systolic heart failure
# Severe aortic stenosis
# Moderate pulmonary hypertension
Multiple cardiac comorbidities. Not on home O2, takes Lasix 40
mg daily at home. Cardiology consulted in MICU for NSTEMI (see
below). TTE ___ demonstrated severe AS with Grade 1 diastolic
dysfunction and mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfxn
___ CAD (EF 40%). Severity of AS reported as worse. Per prior
admission cardiology consult, he was advised last year to follow
up with Dr. ___ consideration of TAVR for his AS but
appears that he did not keep his appointment. Pt had new O2
requirement of 2L NC in setting of transfusion and decreased
mobility. CXR ___ showed new moderate pulmonary edema. This
resolved with 40 mg IV Lasix. Prior to discharge, he was
restarted on home Lasix and had intermittent desaturations to
high ___ which were thought most likely related to undiagnosed
sleep apnea (below). Discharge weight 202.82 lbs.
# Fever
# Complicated UTI
Patient with fevers for days without obvious source. No other
localizing symptoms for infection, although patient a poor
historian on exam. Urine and blood cultures initially were
unrevealing. CT chest performed ___ due to intermittent hypoxia,
was without evidence of pneumonia. Repeat UA was positive with
large ___ and 80 WBC, no bacteria, started empiric treatment for
UTI with Ceftriaxone ___, culture grew pan-sensitive E coli,
transitioned to PO Bactrim for 5 days to complete 7d course for
complicated UTI ___ - ___.
# Nighttime hypoxia
Noted to desat overnight regularly, per granddaughter, no
history of OSA, no witnessed periods of apnea, but he snores
heavily and she may have witnessed him gasping/grunting more
recently. Trialed empiric CPAP and patient had no recorded
episodes of hypoxia, suggesting possible sleep apnea. Will
continue CPAP at rehab, but will need outpatient sleep study
prior to getting CPAP at home.
# NSTEMI
# CAD s/p MI (STEMI ___ s/p RCA BMS, NSTEMI ___ s/p LCx BMS
Troponins elevated on arrival to the ED in the setting of acute
anemia in the absence of reported chest pain, peaked at 0.56.
Cardiology was consulted in the ED. Serial EKGs demonstrated an
intermittent LBBB which was not new. Echo relatively stable from
prior, did show somewhat worsening AS, but no new WMA. Taken
together, these were consistent with demand ischemia due to
active bleed on background of CAD. Home aspirin and metoprolol
were initially held, resumed prior to discharge, atorvastatin
was continued. Metoprolol was fractionated to tartrate 6.25 mg
Q6H however patient had episodes of SBP < 100 and HR in the ___
so was decreased to BID on the day of discharge. Home metoprolol
succinate was held until further dose adjustments could be made.
# Delirium on Dementia
Pt lives at home with granddaughter who says he is able to walk
at home without assistance and occasionally uses walker outside.
Mental status baseline is unknown, but granddaughter reports it
has worsened. Patient's first night in the hospital he became
agitated and required restraints but did not receive pharm
intervention, subsequently was calm and very pleasant, though
occasionally noted to be picking at his sheets. ___ was consulted
and recommended rehab prior to home. |

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT-guided drainage of a right lower quadrant collection.
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with ruptured appy // drain placement
COMPARISON: Reference CT from ___
PROCEDURE: CT-guided drainage of a right lower quadrant collection.
OPERATORS: Dr. ___ trainee and Dr. ___ radiologist,
who was present and supervising throughout the total procedure time.
TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were
explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written
consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers
was performed per ___ protocol.
The patient was placed supine on the CT scan table. A limited preprocedure
CTscan was performed to localize the collection. Based on the CT findings an
appropriate skin entry site for the drain placement was chosen. The site was
marked. Local anesthesia was administered with 1% Lidocaine solution.
Using intermittent CT fluoroscopic guidance, an 18-G ___ needle was
inserted into the collection. A 0.038 ___ wire was placed through the
needle and needle was removed. An ___ pigtail catheter was placed into
the collection. The stiffener and wire were removed. The pigtail was
deployed. The position of the pigtail was confirmed within the collection via
CT fluoroscopy.
Approximately 10 cc of purulent fluid was aspirated with a sample sent for
microbiology evaluation. The catheter was secured by a StatLock. The catheter
was attached to a JP suction bulb. Sterile dressing was applied.
The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate post-procedural
complications.
DOSE: DLP: 434 mGy-cm
SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of
2.5 mg Versed and 125 mcg fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of
23 minutes during which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously
monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse.
FINDINGS:
A multiloculated right lower collection was identified as the target area.
This collection is filled with gas and fluid.

History of Present Illness:
Mr ___ is a ___ year old right handed man with PMH
significant for seizure disorder and intellectual disability
(both since birth per family), chronic kidney disease and
schizophrenia who presents from his group home after a witnessed
seizure. History was gathered from family, group home
representative and OMR. For the past month the patient has been
having episodes of what are being interpreted as headaches.
These spells either occur at night (about ___ hours after
getting into bed) or during the day at his day program. The
patient will grab his head and repeat "itch itch itch!"
Sometimes the patient will scream or cry. Sometimes he will slam
the door repeatedly or smash things(like his television). He
usually settles down after some time without major
interventions. These events do not happen every night
(___). They have not been associated with any ther
symptoms. He has not had any recent changes to his medications.
He has, as a result, not been sleeping well over the past month.
The patient was seen in neurology clinic by Dr. ___ felt
these events were likely either headache or behavioral in
nature. given the patient's poor verbal communication skills he
agreed to schedule the patient for neuro-imaging. Prior MRI
attempts were made but failed due to poor patient understanding
(it appears that really only the family can communicate with him
- in a version of ___.
Today, around 5pm he had a generalized seizure at his group home
which terminated without intervention. It is not clear from
reports how long it lasted. The seizure was typical for the
patient. His last seizure was many years ago. His seizures
always start with whole body shaking and have been going on
since he was a baby. The patient was taken to an OSH where ___
showed no acute findings. his phenytoin level was 14.1 (alb 3.9)
which is at his baseline.
ROS: unable to obtain due to language issues. general review was
negative according to the patient's family and group home.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old male with headache and increased seizure frequency.
Evaluate for intracranial mass or infarct.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of 6 mL of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial imaging was
performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal
MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal
orientations. Imaging was performed using a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner.
COMPARISON: ___ outside noncontrast head CT.
FINDINGS:
Please note the study is mildly degraded by motion.
Within the left ventricle there is an approximately 6 x 3 x 8 mm T1 isointense
to gray matter, not enhancing FLAIR isointense, T2 minimally hyperintense
brain parenchyma lesion arising from lateral wall of the left lateral
ventricle (see series 5, 6, 7, 8 image 16, series 9 image 100, series 900,
image 103, and series 901 image 50). A second lesion, with similar imaging
characteristics, arising from the superior wall of the left lateral ventricle,
slightly more posterior to the larger lesion, measuring approximately 2 x 1 x
2 mm (see series 9 image IV, 900 image 103, and 901 image 64) is also noted. A
third, lesion with similar imaging characteristics is noted within the left
lateral ventricle anterior to the largest lesion, measuring approximately 2 x
2 x 2 mm (see series 901 image 50, series 900 image 100, and series 9, images
4). None of these lesions demonstrate definite blood products versus
mineralization, and do not contact the septum pellucidum foramen of ___.
Findings suggestive of prior left parietal remote injury with associated FLAIR
signal abnormality and encephalomalacia. (see series 7, image 16) noted.
There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, masses, mass effect, or infarction.
The ventricles and sulci are normal in caliber and configuration. There is no
abnormal enhancement after contrast administration.
IMPRESSION:
1. Study is mildly degraded by motion.
2. 6 x 3 x 8mm, 2 x 1 x 2mm, and 2 x 2x 2 mm nonenhancing intraventricular
nodules, arising from lateral and superior margins of left lateral ventricle
as described, with no definite associated ventriculomegaly and no definite
blood products or mineralization. Differential considerations include
subependymoma, subependymal hamartomas of tuberous sclerosis. Recommend
clinical correlation and attention on followup imaging.
3. Focal area of left parietal chronic injury as described. Recommend clinical

level of acuity: 3.0 | Mr. ___ is a ___ year old right handed man with a past
medical history significant for epilepsy and intellectual
disability (both since birth per family), chronic kidney disease
and schizophrenia who presents from his group home after a
witnessed generalized seizure. The patient's seizure was likely
triggered by sleep derivation due to night time episodes of
grabbing his head and screaming/crying that can last for hours.
This are likely a primary headache disorder, though behavioral
episodes are difficult to rule out. Infectious workup is
negative and AED levels are at baseline. In the ED, in the
setting of missed night time AEDs, he had another seizure.
After being admitted to the Neurology Inpatient Service, his
AEDs were initially continued. However, during the
hospitalization, his Phenobarbital was increased from 45mg twice
a day to 45 mg in the morning and 60mg in the evening. He had
an overnight EEG to try to capture events. No typical events
were captured. However, his EEG did not show any epilptiform
activity. Additionally, due to possible headaches as the reason
for the patient of grabbing his head and screaming/crying, a MRI
was done. The MRI showed encephalomalcia in the left parietal
lobe. This is chronic. Additionally, 6 x 3 x 8mm, 2 x 1 x 2mm,
and 2 x 2x 2 mm nonenhancing intraventricular nodules were seen.
These arise from the lateral and superior margins of left
lateral ventricle. There was no hydrocephalus. No signs of
increased intracranial pressure. These findings are most likely
not the cause of possible headaches. Mr. ___ did not have
any further seizures after being admitted to the hospital. |
