It was a privilege caring for you at ___.
Please see below for more information on your hospitalization.
WHY WERE YOU ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL?
- You were admitted to the hospital because you had chest pain.
You were found to have had a heart attack.
WHAT WAS DONE WHILE YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL?
- Your heart arteries were examined (cardiac catheterization)
which showed a blockage of one of the arteries. This was opened
by placing a tube called a stent in the artery. You were given
medications to prevent future blockages.
- We started you on medications to help your heart
- You had a low blood count (anemia) and we did imaging and the
GI team looked at your esophagus, stomach and first part of your
intestines with EGD. They saw some ulcers and changes in your
esophagus but no obvious signs of bleeding.
- We gave you blood to maintain your blood counts
- You blood counts remained stable and you were ready to go
home.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO WHEN YOU LEAVE THE HOSPITAL?
- Take all of your medications as prescribed (listed below)
- It is very important to take your aspirin and clopidogrel
(also known as Plavix every day.
- These two medications keep the stents in the vessels of the
heart open and help reduce your risk of having a future heart
attack.
- If you stop these medications or miss ___ dose, you risk
causing a blood clot forming in your heart stents and having
another heart attack
- Please do not stop taking either medication without taking to
your heart doctor.
- You are also on other new medications for your atrial
fibrillation including Metoprolol and Digoxin to help control
your heart rate. You were also started on Rivaroxaban to help
prevent stroke.
- Weigh yourself every morning, seek medical attention if your
weight goes up more than 3 lbs from your discharge weight of
163.8 lbs.
- Seek medical attention if you have new or concerning symptoms
or you develop swelling in your legs, chest pain, abdominal
distention, or shortness of breath at night.
- Follow up with your doctors as listed below

with recent bulbar symptoms causing her to become severely
dysphasic requiring an outpatient eval for G-tube who presents
for inability to tolerate p.o. for several days and was found to
be hypotensive at her PCPs office. She states that she has had
difficulty with swallowing for "awhile" now and was previously
on
a soft/pureed diet. Over the last week it has become
increasingly
difficult for her to swallow solids or liquids and as a result
she has been unable to take many of her medications. She was
recently seen by her pain doctor who was recommending a G-tube
be
placed so that she would be able to take enteral
nutrition/medications again. The plan was initially to try and
hold off until after ___ to have her come into the
hospital but today in her PCPs office she was noted to be
hypotensive and was sent to the ED. Patient notes that this
morning she felt weak and "not like [herself]". She attributes
this to not eating or drinking more than a intermittent sips for
the past few days. Patient also notes that she had a fall
recently due to lower extremity weakness which has exacerbated
her chronic back pain.

reported below.
ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of
125mcg of fentanyl and 1 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service
time of 20 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were
continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine
was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site.
MEDICATIONS: 1 g of Ancef
CONTRAST: 10 ml of Optiray contrast
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 11.3 minutes, 76 mGy
PROCEDURE: 1. Placement of a Ponsky pull-through gastrostomy tube placement.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed
supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___
protocol. The tube site was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
A scout image of the abdomen was obtained. The stomach was insufflated through
the indwelling nasogastric tube. Using a marker, the skin was marked using
palpation to feel the costal margins and the liver edge was marked using
ultrasound. Permanent ultrasound images were stored.
Under fluoroscopic guidance a 19 gauge needle was introduced under
fluoroscopic guidance and position confirmed using an injection of dilute
contrast. A ___ wire was introduced into the stomach. A small skin
incision was made along the needle and the needle was removed, and a 5 ___
vascular sheath was placed. A short Kumpe catheter was advanced over the
wire. The ___ wire was exchanged for a Glidewire. The Glidewire was
advanced into the esophagus in the Kumpe catheter followed up to the level of
the midesophagus. The Glidewire was exchanged for ___ wire. The Kumpe
catheter was removed
The snare was attached to the gastric end of the ___ wire. Under
continuous fluoroscopic guidance, the ___ wire was advanced into the oral
cavity. A hemostat was used to secure the ___ wire. Under continuous
fluoroscopic guidance, the snare device was pulled through the stomach into
the esophagus and out of the oral cavity. The snare was released, the ___
wire was removed and the Ponsky tube was attached to the snare and secured.
Under continuous fluoroscopic guidance, the Ponsky tube was then pulled
through the oral cavity into the esophagus and finally the stomach. The
Ponsky tube was cut and an overlying disc, lock and adapter were placed.
Contrast was injected through the Ponsky tube to confirm appropriate
placement. Sterile dressings were applied.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no immediate
complications.
FINDINGS:
1. Successful placement of a Ponsky gastrostomy tube.
IMPRESSION:
Successful placement of a 20 ___ Ponsky gastrostomy tube via pull
technique.

condition called "cardiogenic shock," where your body has
difficulty delivering enough oxygen to the organs in your body.
You were therefore briefly on a medication that helps strengthen
your heart's pumping abilities. We also started you on a lot of
the Lasix via a drip, and you had excellent urine output in
response, and your heart failure improved.
Please weigh yourself every morning, and call your PCP or
cardiologist if your weight goes up more than 3 lbs. Your dry
weight is 125.5kg. |

to the ED due to 2 weeks of abdominal pain, fever today and
outpt MRI today demonstrating intra-abdominal abscess.
.
At his baseline he is very functional, maintaining a demanding
job, with plans to travel to ___ next week for business. But
for the last 2 weeks he has felt stabbing pain to the right of
his belly button. At first he thought it was muscle strain from
weightlifting. The pain started out mild but is now severe,
___. He has felt a hard lump in the area as well. On the day
of presentation, he went to an outpatient GI appointment, where
he was refferred for U/S. It was felt that this might represent
a spigelian hernia or hematoma in the setting of Warfarin use,
but he was also referred for MRI to r/o abscess. The MRI showed
51mm x 60mm x 68mm RLQ abdominal abscess and possible fistulous
tract, so he was referred to the ED.

STUDIES
US ___
IMPRESSION: Bilobed-shaped intra/ extra abdominal cystic lesion
at the level of the lateral border of the right rectus abdominis
muscle. This could represent a resolving hematoma/ abscess or a
spigelian hernia containing fluid. Given the acuity of onset and
skin discoloration reported by the patient, a hematoma is
favored. However, the intra-abdominal communication is less
typical of a hematoma and abscess or hernia is not excluded.

___
Radiology Report
REASON FOR THE EXAMINATION: This is a ___ patient with history of
Crohn's disease that involves the large and small bowel. The patient is
status post multiple resections of the terminal ileum and resection of the
rectum. The patient has left colostomy.
The patient is now presenting with right-sided pain. The request is to rule
out fistula.
COMPARISON: Ultrasound examination from ___. CT of the abdomen
from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1- and T2-weighted images were acquired on a 1.5
Tesla magnet including dynamic 3D imaging obtained prior to, during, and after
the intravenous administration of 8 cc of Gadovist.
900 cc of barium sulfate was given orally.
In addition, 1 mg of IM glucagon was administered to reduce bowel motion.
FINDINGS: A fluid filled multiloculated collection is seen in the right lower
quadrant. The collection measures 51 x 60 (12, 28) x 68 mm (1001, 68). The
collection extends into the right abdominal wall (12, 16) and shows persistent
rim enhancement. The collection is surrounded by multiple thickened ileal
loops that shows mucosal hyperenhancement (12, 59 and 12, 57 and 1001, 66).
No discrete fistula is seen between the bowel loops and the collection;
however, in some regions there is no fat plane between the bowel loops and the
collection (1001, 16). Mild-to-moderate fat stranding is seen in proximity to
the collection (1002, 61).
The patient is status post multiple resections of the terminal ileum and
resection of the rectum. Susceptibility artifacts are seen along the proximal
colon. Left-sided colostomy is seen.
The rest of the small and large bowel shows no mucosal hyperenhancement or
thickening of the wall that suggest inflammation.
Bilobed structure is seen in segment VI of the liver. The lesion shows high
signal intensity on T2-weighted images and shows no enhancement. The lesion
measures 9 x 50 mm (11, 23) and is most consistent with simple liver cyst.
Otherwise, the liver is normal. There is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary
duct dilatation.
Cholelithiasis is seen without signs of cholecystitis. The spleen is within
normal limits.
Note is made of a small splenule.
The pancreas shows normal signal and is within normal limits.
The adrenals are unremarkable.
Multiple lesions are seen within the kidneys.
The lesions show high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and no
enhancement post-contrast, consistent with simple cysts.
No free fluid or lymphadenopathy are detected.
The aorta and its branches are patent and of normal caliber.
The portal vein and its branches and the splenic vein are patent and of normal
caliber.
Normal bone marrow signal is seen.
IMPRESSION:
1. Walled off abscess is identified in the right lower quadrant. The abscess
extends into the right abdominal wall.
2. Thickened ileal loops with mucosal hyperenhancement on arterial phase are
seen in proximity to the abscess, consistent with active Crohn's disease.
3. Cholelithiasis without signs of cholecystitis.
These findings were discussed by Dr. ___ Dr. ___ by
phone at 4 p.m. ___.
Radiology Report
STUDY: FOCUSED RIGHT LOWER QUADRANT ABDOMINAL SONOGRAM.
INDICATION: Patient with questionable hematoma due to Coumadin in the
abdominal wall.
COMPARISON: No recent studies are available for comparison.
TECHNIQUE: Focus sonographic evaluation of the lower quadrant of the abdomen
was performed and reviewed.
FINDINGS: In the region of the patient's palpable abnormality and tenderness,
there is a 6.8 x 5.9 x 5.1 cm hypoechoic lesion with posterior acoustic
enhancement which appears to extend into the subcutaneous muscle plane as well
as into the abdominal cavity. There is a dehisence in the anterior abdominal
wall seen lateral to the lateral margin of the right rectus abdominis muscle.
There are few foci of increased echogenicity within this lesion. There is no
definite communication with bowel identified nor was there peristalsis with
this lesion.
IMPRESSION: Bilobed-shaped intra/ extra abdominal cystic lesion at the level
of the lateral border of the right rectus abdominis muscle. This could
represent a resolving hematoma/ abscess or a spigelian hernia containing
fluid. Given the acuity of onset and skin discoloration reported by the
patient, a hematoma is favored. However, the intra-abdominal communication is
less typical of a hematoma and abscess or hernia is not excluded. Correlate
with MRE performed the same day.
Findings were discussed with Dr ___ by Radiology ___ over telephone on
___ at 4: 15 p.m
Radiology Report
STUDY: CT-guided percutaneous drainage of right lower quadrant abdominal
fluid collection.
INDICATION: ___ male with history of Crohn's disease complicated by
multiple previous fistulas and abscesses, status post colectomy, two weeks of
abdominal pain and fever, recent MRI demonstrating intra-abdominal abscess.
Request percutaneous drainage.
COMPARISON: Previous MR enterography dated ___ and ultrasound
abdomen dated ___.
OPERATORS: Dr. ___ Dr. ___. Dr. ___ was present for the
entire duration of the procedure and personally supervised it.
PROCEDURE: After explaining the risks, benefits and alternatives to the
procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The
patient was brought to the CT suite and was placed supine on the CT table. A
preprocedure timeout was performed using three unique patient identifiers as
per standard ___ protocol.
Limited preprocedure CT images were obtained through the lower abdomen, which
demonstrated irregular 7.2 x 3.7 cm fluid collection in the right lower
abdomen. An appropriate skin entry site overlying this fluid collection was
marked and the skin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 1%
lidocaine solution was used to anesthetize the skin, subcutaneous soft tissues
and the anterior abdominal wall musculature.
Under CT fluoroscopic guidance, ___ needle was advanced into the fluid
collection via an anterior approach. There was immediate return of purulent
fluid. A floppy-tipped ___ wire was advanced through the ___ needle
into the abscess cavity. The ___ needle was then exchanged for an 8
___ pigtail drainage catheter. After confirming appropriate positioning,
the loop of the pigtail drainage catheter was formed within the abscess
cavity. We immediately drained about 75 mL of purulent fluid. Following
this, about 35 mL of diluted intravenous contrast was injected through the
pigtail drainage catheter into the abscess cavity. There was no communication
with the surrounding loops of small bowel. The injected contrast was aspirated
back. The drainage catheter was secured to the anterior abdominal wall and
was attached to a large suction bulb.
The patient tolerated the procedure well without any immediate ___
complications.
Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of Versed (1.5
mg) and Fentanyl (150 mcg) throughout the total intraservice time of 30
minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously
monitored.
IMPRESSION: Successful CT-guided percutaneous drainage catheter placement
into right lower quadrant intra-abdominal abscess. Sample of the aspirate
sent for microbiological analysis. Sinogram shows no communication with bowel.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
It was a pleasure to care for you at the ___
___.
Why did you come to the hospital?
-You were having black sticky stools which was concerning for
bleeding from your intestines.
What did you receive in the hospital?
-You underwent a colonoscopy which showed that you had blood
clot over the site where they removed a polyp a few weeks ago
during a prior colonoscopy. This suggests that you had a recent
bleed from this area, though there were no signs of active
bleeding seen. You had clips placed over this area to prevent
any further bleeding. You were also seen to have an ulcer at
another site where you had a polyp remove which is a normal
process of healing after a polyp removal; this did not show any
signs of bleeding and a clip was placed at that site to prevent
any possible future bleeding.
-You were monitored for any more signs of bleeding afterwards
and we held your blood thinner Eliquis (apixaban) for 48 hours
to decrease your risk of rebleeding.
-Your blood counts were stable while you were here which was
reassuring that you had no more bleeding.
-You did not have any bowel movements while here to show that
there was no more bleeding but we were reassured by your blood
counts.
-We felt you were stable after 2 nights of monitoring and
discharged you home.
What should you do once you leave the hospital?
-Please resume your Eliquis on the morning of ___.
-Please make sure to get a CT scan of your lungs to work up the
lung nodule that we found.
-Please monitor your bowel movements at home. It may be normal
for you to have a small streaks of black in your first bowel
movement from blood that remained in your intestines after the
colonoscopy. If you continue to have large black sticky bowel
movements or large amounts of blood in your bowel movements -
please call your doctor. If you are having any lightheadedness,
dizziness, chest pain, trouble breathing or any other symptoms
that concern you please go to the nearest emergency room.
-Please follow up with your primary care office as scheduled
below
We wish you the best!

Radiology Report
HEAD CT WITHOUT CONTRAST: ___.
HISTORY: ___ female with platelet count of 3, fevers and headache.
Abdominal pain.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained from skull base to vertex
without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were reviewed.
COMPARISON: None listed.
FINDINGS: There is no acute intra-axial or extra-axial hemorrhage, mass,
midline shift, or territorial infarct. The ventricles and sulci are symmetric
and unremarkable. The gray-white matter differentiation is preserved.
Mucous retention cyst is seen in the left maxillary sinus. There is also
partial opacification of the bilateral ethmoid air cells and mucosal
thickening in the sphenoid sinuses. Mastoid air cells are clear. Skull and
extracranial soft tissues are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with fevers, thrombocytopenia, and diffuse
abdominal pain
COMPARISON: None available
TECHNIQUE: ___ MDCT-acquired axial images from the lung bases to the pubic
symphysis were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness. Intravenous contrast was
administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were prepared.
CT ABDOMEN WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: There is minimal bibasilar atelectasis.
No pleural effusion is identified. The imaged cardiac apex is within normal
limits.
There are multiple too small to characterize hypodensities throughout the
liver (2:9, 11, 18, 26), likely small cysts or biliary hamartomas. No
suspicious hepatic lesion is identified. The hepatic veins and portal venous
system are grossly patent. No intra- or extra-hepatic biliary ductal
dilatation is identified. The gallbladder is mildly distended, though without
pericholecystic fluid or wall thickening. The spleen is not visualized,
likely secondary to prior surgical resection. The pancreatic head, neck, and
proximal body appear normal. Surgical clips are seen in the region of the
pancreatic tail, likely due to prior distal pancreatectomy (2:20). No
pancreatic ductal dilatation is noted. The adrenal glands are symmetric
without focal lesion. There is symmetric enhancement and excretion of both
kidneys without suspicious focal lesion or hydronephrosis. A 1.3 x 1.6 cm
hypodense lesion is identified within the interpolar region of the right
kidney with indeterminate attenuation values, likely a hyperdense cyst (2:23).
Non-emergent renal ultrasound could be performed for further evaluation.
There is no abdominal free fluid or free air. The abdominal aorta and its
branch vessels demonstrate moderate atherosclerotic calcifications, though are
non-aneurysmal and grossly patent. Stomach and small bowel loops are normal
in caliber and configuration without evidence of obstruction or inflammation.
The appendix is normal.
CT PELVIS WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: The rectum and colon are normal in
caliber and configuration without evidence of obstruction or inflammation.
The bladder is distended and appears normal. The uterus and adnexa appear
unremarkable. No pelvic free fluid is identified.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No bone destructive lesion or acute fracture is
identified. There is mild S-shaped scoliosis of the lumbar spine with loss of
vertebral body height at multiple levels, most severe at L1 and L2.
IMPRESSION:
1. Small subcentimeter hypodensities throughout the liver, likely small
cysts, though too small to characterize.
2. 1.6-cm hypodense lesion in the interpolar region of the right kidney,
likely a hyperdense parapelvic cyst. Non-emergent renal ultrasound is
recommended for further evaluation.
3. Severe degenerative changes of the lumbar spine with loss of height at
multiple levels, though no malalignment.
Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: Right perihilar density, mild thrombocytopenia, evaluation for
developing pneumonia.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the right perihilar opacity
is almost unchanged in extent and appearance. The opacity is rounded and
adjacent to the minor fissure. The opacity also cannot completely be
differentiated against a structure of the right hilus.
The differential diagnosis should not only include pneumonia, but also the
possibility of a part solid neoplasm, potentially associated with right hilar
adenopathy. This finding should best be confirmed or excluded by CT.
At the right lung base, mild peribronchial thickening persists. The left lung
is normal. Bilateral apical thickening is symmetrical. The presence of
bilateral dorsal minimal pleural effusions cannot be excluded. Borderline
size of the cardiac silhouette without evidence of pulmonary edema.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: New PICC placement.
COMPARISON: Comparison is made to radiographs of the chest from ___ and ___.
FINDINGS: Frontal radiograph of the chest demonstrates a right subclavian
line in standard position with distal tip terminating in the mid SVC. The
previously seen right perihilar opacity is less dense on this study and may be
resolving, however, it is difficult to compare the current portable AP view
with the prior PA and lateral views for subtle changes of this finding.
Further imaging of this area with either conventional radiographs or CT is
recommended if clinically justified. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is
unremarkable. There is no evidence of new focal consolidation, pleural
effusion or pulmonary edema.
CONCLUSION: Right PICC in standard position with distal tip in the mid SVC.
No pneumothorax. Previously identified right perihilar opacity is less dense
on this study and may represent interval improvement.
The above findings were communicated to IV nurse, ___, via telephone by Dr.
___ at 12:30, at the time of discovery.

Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: History of cholangitis, ERCP, pre-operative chest x-ray.
COMPARISON: No comparison available at the time of dictation.
FINDINGS: The lung volumes are normal. Borderline size of the cardiac
silhouette with no evidence of overt pulmonary edema. No pleural effusions,
no pneumonia. Normal appearance of the hilar and mediastinal structures.
Radiology Report
STUDY: MR of the abdomen.
INDICATION: ___ female with end-stage renal disease, on hemodialysis,
presenting with cholangitis from choledocholithiasis status post ERCP, now
with increasing total bilirubin, question choledocholithiasis.
COMPARISON: No previous MR examination is available for comparison.
Correlation is made to ultrasound abdomen dated ___.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1- and T2-weighted images were obtained on a 1.5
Tesla magnet. IV contrast was not administered for the examination. 2.5 mL
of Gadavist was mixed with 75 mL of water and was administered as enteric
contrast.
FINDINGS: The lung bases are clear.
In the liver, there is ill-defined, poorly characterized lesion in segment ___
of the liver measuring 1.6 x 1.3 cm in size, which is hypointense on T1
sequences (series 15, image 13) and hyperintense on the T2 sequences (series
16, image 6). There is no intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. Again
noted is dilatation of the middle aspect of the common hepatic duct measuring
up to 12 mm in size (series 3, image 10). There is anatomic variant with low
and medial insertion of the cystic duct (series 3, image 11). There is a
large gallstone within the fundus of the gallbladder measuring 1 cm in size.
No filling defects are seen in the extrahepatic biliary tree to suggest
choledocholithiasis. Evaluation for cholangitis is limited due to lack of IV
contrast administration.
The adrenal glands and spleen appear within normal limits. In the pancreatic
neck, note is made of an 11 x 4 mm T2 hyperintense lesion (series 9, image 18)
which likely represents a side branch IPMN versus a pancreatic cyst.
Additional smaller similar lesions measuring less than 5 mm in size are seen
in the uncinate process (series 9, image 22) and tail of the pancreas (series
9, image 14). The pancreatic duct is nondilated. There are no inflammatory
changes about the pancreas.
The kidneys appear atrophic and there are multiple small T2 hyperintense
lesions in the left kidney, most suggestive of acquired renal cysts.
Nonspecific fluid signal intensity is seen around the kidneys bilaterally.
There is no upper abdominal lymphadenopathy. No obvious abnormalities are
seen in the bowel. Bone marrow signal is within normal limits.
IMPRESSION:
1. No MRCP evidence of choledocholithiasis.
2. Low and medial insertion of the cystic duct, anatomic variant.
3. Incompletely characterized focal lesion in segment ___ of the liver,
slightly hyperintense on T2-weighted images, and not well evaluated without
contrast. Dedicated hepatic imaging or comparison with prior studies
suggested for further characterization. Given ESRD/hemodialysis,
consideration could be made for multiphasic CT with IV contrast, and
coordination with dialysis schedule.
4. Multiple cystic lesions in the pancreas, the largest of which measures
about 11 mm in size in the pancreatic neck. A followup MRI could be
considered in six months (as clinically indicated) to ensure stability, or
comparison to prior studies.
MRCP findings were discussed with Dr. ___ by Radiology ___ over phone on

measuring 2.5 x
1.5 cm immediately medially is also noted. A 1.4 x 1.2 cm
hypoattenuating
lesion superior to the 2 cysts at the interpolar region of the
left kidney
(series 601, image 37) is indeterminate with attenuation values
up to 65 ___.
There is no perinephric abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: The stomach is unremarkable. Fluid filled
small and large
bowel loops are demonstrated without wall thickening or abnormal
dilatation.
No obstruction. The appendix is not visualized.
PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable.
There is no
free fluid in the pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The uterus contains fibroids. No adnexal
masses.
LYMPH NODES: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric
lymphadenopathy. There
is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy.
VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Mild
atherosclerotic disease
is noted. Portal and hepatic veins appear patent. Hepatic
arteries are
patent.
BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or
acute fracture.
There are mild degenerative changes of the thoracolumbar spine.

Attending: ___.
Chief Complaint:
AMS, suicidal ideation
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
___ PMH severe depression NPH s/p shunt placement in ___,
myasthenia ___, hypothyroidism, HTN, esophageal cancer in
remission, who presents to the emergency department with
suicidal
ideation and altered mental status.
Per nursing home, patient has been noted to have increased
agitation over the past month since he joined the nursing home.
He has become more resistant to care and restless. For instance,
he has developed skin lesions on his elbows because of continue
rubbing of his elbow onto the wheelchair arm rest. He has been
restrained more frequently due to his gait becoming more ataxic
and multiple falls throughout this month. Patient was scheduled
for ECT today but did not pursue as per psych recommendations.
Patient complains of left sided abdominal pain. He is unable to
point to the exact location or give further history. Patient
also
reports dysuria and that he has become more depressed lately. He
frequently makes comments alluding to his wanting to "give up".
He endorses SI to both nursing staff, police officer and to ED
staff. He is unable to clarify any further but states he wants
to
hurt himself. Denies any homicidal ideation. He attests to
experiencing auditory hallucinations in the past though not
recently. He is alert and oriented to self, thinks that he is in
"rehab" and believes that the date is ___, though he
could name the current president. Otherwise, patient has not
experienced any fevers or chills. No chest pain or shortness of
breath.
Per his HCP (niece), his change in mental status started in
___ months after he had been diagnosed with Myasthenia ___ and
put on Prednisone to which he takes to date. On ___, he got a
VP
shunt placed at ___ due to his normal pressure hydrocephalus,
and
his HCP said he got better. However, he regressed and became
fully incontinent again and having frequent falls. He had his VP
shunt adjusted and in ___ he joined the nursing home he
currently resides in.
Per nursing home, on ___, recent medication changes include:
Trazadone PRN 25 mg Q8 to 50 mg Q6, Klonipin from once daily to
twice a day (held on ___ for scheduled ECT today), and
Ritalin
held. His prednisone was tapered in early ___ from 40 mg to
30 mg daily. Nursing home is unsure when patient's prednisone
should be tapered off. In addition, patient got a CXR at OSH for
concerning cough and was unremarkable, per home nurse.
Based on discussion with the ED, it is unclear whether this AMS
is just related to his underlying psych issue or if he has a
true
medical issue.
In the ED, initial VS were: 97.8 151/82 85 20 100/RA
Labs showed:
- WBC 12 CBC otherwise WNL

measuring 4 mm. No midline shift. No other intracranial
hemorrhage.
2. Right posterior approach ventriculostomy catheter terminates
near midline in frontal horn of left lateral ventricle. No
definite findings to suggest hydrocephalus although no priors
for
direct comparison.
3. Hypodensity involving the left caudate head may represent
chronic small vessel ischemic change. MRI would be more
sensitive
to assess for acute infarct.
- CT shunt series: Right-sided VP shunt without radiographic
evidence of discontinuity or kink.
- CXR: No evidence of pneumonia

Psychiatry was consulted:
Diagnostically this patient certainly has severe depression and
likely will need ECT treatment in the future, however; his
current picture is most concerning for a delirium of unknown
cause. Recommend ongoing medical workup for cause of his
delirium
with medical admission, consulting psych CL for management of
his
psychiatric condition. A safety assessment cannot be made at
this
time due to his mental status. Please contact psychiatry in the
event that he wishes to leave AMA or is being discharged.
Neurosurgery was consulted:
Patient seen and examined. He is altered and a poor historian.
He
is oriented to self, 'rehab', and says ___. He is
otherwise nonfocal. He follows commands and has full strength
throughout. NCHCT shows left sided SDH with no mass effect.
Discussed case with Attending Dr. ___. SDH is likely not the
cause of altered mental status. With these facts in mind,
neurosurgery recommends consider Medicine workup for other
etiologies of altered mental status

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: History: ___ with AMS, shunt placement in ___// eval for
worsening hydrocephalus
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 9.0 s, 19.2 cm; CTDIvol = 47.1 mGy (Head) DLP =
903.1 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 903 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None available in PACs.
FINDINGS:
Right posterior approach ventriculostomy catheter terminates near midline the
frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle. The ventricles and sulci are
normal in size and configuration for age. No priors are available for direct
comparison. Periventricular white matter hypodensities are nonspecific may
suggest chronic small vessel ischemic changes. Hypodensity involving the left
caudate head may be related to chronic small vessel ischemic changes (02:20).
Left frontal convexity extra-axial fluid collection with hyperdensity is
suggestive of subdural hemorrhage in measures 4 mm maximally. There is
evidence of midline shift. The basal cisterns are patent. No other
intracranial hemorrhages seen.
No acute fracture seen. The paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle
ear cavities are clear. The orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Left frontal convexity mixed density subdural hematoma measuring 4 mm. No
midline shift. No other intracranial hemorrhage.
2. Right posterior approach ventriculostomy catheter terminates near midline
in frontal horn of left lateral ventricle. No definite findings to suggest
hydrocephalus although no priors for direct comparison.
3. Hypodensity involving the left caudate head may represent chronic small

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD
INDICATION: ___ year old man with subdural hematoma. Evaluation for interval
change.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without
contrast.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Sequenced Acquisition 5.0 s, 20.0 cm; CTDIvol = 46.7 mGy (Head) DLP =
934.3 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 934 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Noncontrast head CT from ___.
FINDINGS:
The right parietal approach VP shunt catheter terminates in the frontal horn
of left lateral ventricle near the septum pellucidum, unchanged. Streak
artifact from the related hardware in the scalp slightly limits evaluation of
the right posterior fossa and occipital region. The ventricles are stable in
size. The small left convexity mixed-density subdural hematoma appears
unchanged from prior study, measuring 4 mm in greatest dimension. There is no
significant sulcal effacement or shift of midline structures. Basal cisterns
are preserved.
There is no evidence of new intracranial hemorrhage or acute major vascular
infarction. Periventricular, deep, and subcortical white matter hypodensities
are grossly unchanged, nonspecific but likely the sequela of chronic small
vessel ischemic disease. A small chronic infarct is again seen in the right
caudate head..
Mild partial bilateral mastoid air cell opacification is likely secondary to
prolonged supine positioning in the inpatient setting.
IMPRESSION:
1. Stable small left convexity subdural hematoma, measuring 4 mm. No new
hemorrhage.
2. Stable VP shunt catheter position. Stable ventricular size.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: SHOULDER 1 VIEW LEFT
INDICATION: ___ year old man with AMS// LEFT SHOULDER XRAY- dislocation?

solitary frontal view.
There is a fracture of the midclavicle with approximately 1.5 cm of overlap,
age indeterminate. This was likely present on a prior chest x-ray from ___. No older studies are available for comparison. There is no
radiopaque foreign body.
IMPRESSION:
Fracture of the mid clavicle of indeterminate age.
NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___. by ___
___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 6:15 pm, within 10 minutes
after discovery of the findings.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CLAVICLE LEFT
INDICATION: ___ year old man with mid-clavicular fracture// left clavicle xray
TECHNIQUE: Left clavicle two views
COMPARISON: Portable supine left clavicle radiograph from ___
FINDINGS:
Again seen is the fracture through the mid left clavicle,. On today's exam,
the edges appear corticated. There is full shaft-width inferior displacement
of the lateral fragment and approximately 21 mm of overriding.
The AC joint remains congruent, with mild degenerative change.
Limited assessment of the left shoulder suggests mild glenohumeral joint
degenerative change. No widening of the coracoclavicular interval. Probable
diffuse osteopenia.
At the edge of these films, tubing extending vertically across the right chest
is thought to represent a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
IMPRESSION:
Fracture of the mid left clavicle again noted, with full shaft width
displacement and overriding. Edges appear corticated, suggesting a nonacute
injury. No convincing bony bridging identified..
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD

FINDINGS:
Hyperdense extra-axial fluid collection overlying the left cerebral convexity
measures up to 4 mm, and is unchanged in comparison with 12 hours prior.
There is no significant shift of the normally midline structures. No new or
increasing hemorrhage. No evidence of acute infarct. A right posterior
approach ventricular catheter terminates in the frontal horn of the left
lateral ventricle near the septum pellucidum, unchanged in position.
There is no evidence of fracture. The visualized portion of the paranasal
sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The visualized
portion of the orbits are unremarkable with the exception of bilateral lens
replacements.
IMPRESSION:
1. Unchanged small left subdural hematoma, measuring 4 mm. No new or
increasing hemorrhage.
2. Unchanged ventricular catheter position. Stable ventricular size.

It was a pleasure taking care of you. You were admitted to the
___ because your left leg was
swollen, red, and painful despite recently being started on
treatment for a clot in that same leg.
What did we do for you while you were in the hospital?
- We were initially concerned for a complication of a leg clot
that causes interruption of the blood flow to the leg. We
initially started you on a blood thinner called heparin because
we were concerned the Xarelto was not working well for you. You
were evaluated by vascular surgery who did not think that this
complication was present and who recommended that we continue
your Xarelto and make sure that we keep the leg compressed and
elevated whenever possible.
What should you do after you leave the hospital?
You should continue to take your Xarelto twice daily with large
meals. You should try to elevate your legs as much as possible
and wear your compression stockings. This is the primary
treatment for your blood clot. You should follow-up with your
primary care physician and vascular surgery within ___ weeks of
discharge.
We recommend at least ___ year of Xarelto, perhaps even life long
therapy. This should be discussed with both your PCP and ___
___ Expert.
Wishing you a speedy recovery,

jugular central venous line, the tip of which terminates at the
cavoatrial junction. There is no evidence of pneumothorax. The
lungs are clear but underinflated, accentuating the
cardiomediastinal contour. No pleural effusion.
___: BILATERAL LOWER EXTREMITY VEINS
FINDINGS:
There is normal compressibility, flow and augmentation of the
bilateral common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal
veins. Normal color flow and compressibility are demonstrated in
the posterior tibial and peroneal veins. There is normal
respiratory variation in the common femoral veins bilaterally.
No evidence of medial popliteal fossa (___) cyst. Inguinal
lymph nodes are not enlarged.

You were admitted to ___ after
experiencing diarrhea with resultant chest pain and shortness of
breath. You were found to have low red blood cell count, known
as anemia. This was likely due to destruction of your red blood
cells known as hemolysis. You were transfused red blood cells to
increase your blood counts. You also received steroids to help
stop the destruction of the red blood cells. You also received a
medication called rituximab to help control your low blood
cells. These helped stabilize your red blood cell counts. By the
time of discharge you did not require a transfusion in 6 days.
You were discharged on a medication called prednisone. Please
take 80 milligrams of prednisone DAILY. You were also started on
a medication called acyclovir and a medication called
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole to help prevent infections.
Your lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide were STOPPED as your
blood pressure was well controlled on your other blood pressure
medications. Please discuss this medication change with your
oncologist.
We would like you to follow up in clinic on ___ at 2PM to get a blood check to see what your blood levels
are.
Also on imaging of your chest, two nodules were noted in your
lung. PLEASE FOLLOW-UP WITH A REPEAT CT SCAN OF YOUR CHEST IN 3

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ male with history of type A aortic dissection, status
post emergent surgical repair in ___ with a 30-mm Gelweave graft from
STJ-innominate artery. Patient now presenting with chest and back pain
acutely. Assess for interval change.
COMPARISON: CTA of the chest from outside hospital performed on ___ and CTA of the chest and abdomen from outside hospital performed on
___.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images of the chest, abdomen and pelvis were obtained
with intravenous contrast. Images were acquired in an arterial phase.
Coronal and sagittal reformations were prepared. Additionally, 3D
reformations were created on a separate workstation and reviewed on the PACS.
CT CHEST WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: The thyroid gland is homogeneous without
focal nodule. No supraclavicular or axillary lymphadenopathy is identified.
Numerous mediastinal lymph nodes overall appear unchanged compared to most
recent prior examination from two days prior and many were present on
preoperative chest CT from ___. An anterior mediastinal lymph
node at the level of the great vessel takeoff measures 11 x 13 mm as compared
to 11 x 10 mm previously (2:38). A probable conglomerate of right hilar lymph
nodes measures 17 x 20 mm as compared to 16 x 22 mm on prior examination from
___ (2:56). The etiology is uncertain, though stability over ___ years
suggests a non-neoplastic etiology. The heart size is normal, and there is no
pericardial effusion. The central pulmonary arteries are patent.
The tracheobronchial tree is patent to subsegmental levels without bronchial
wall thickening or bronchiectasis. There is extensive centrilobular and
paraseptal emphysema predominantly within the lung apices. No suspicious
pulmonary nodule or mass is identified. Linear atelectatic scarring is
identified within the bilateral lung bases. There is no pleural effusion.
CT ABDOMEN WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: The liver demonstrates homogeneous
parenchymal enhancement without suspicious focal lesion. Subcentimeter
hypodensities within segment ___ and VI are unchanged compared to prior
examination and remain too small to characterize, though may represent small
cysts or biliary hamartomas. A simple cyst within segment IVb of the liver
measuring 1.8 x 1.4 cm is slightly increased in size since ___. Hepatic
veins and portal venous system are grossly patent. No intra- or extra-hepatic
biliary ductal dilatation is identified. The gallbladder, spleen, pancreas,
and right adrenal gland are normal. A 2.5 x 3.0 cm hypodense lesion within
the left adrenal gland is stable compared to prior examination of ___ and had
prior attenuation characteristics consistent with an adenoma. The kidneys
enhance symmetrically without suspicious focal lesion. There is no
hydronephrosis. Incidental note is made of a splenule. Stomach and small
bowel loops are normal in caliber and configuration without evidence of
obstruction or inflammation. There is no abdominal free fluid or free air.
No suspicious mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy is identified.
CT PELVIS WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: There is colonic diverticulosis without
signs of acute inflammation or obstruction. The bladder is distended and
appears normal. Prostate and seminal vesicles are unremarkable.
Subcentimeter pelvic lymph nodes are identified which are of uncertain
etiology. A left external iliac lymph node measures 8 x 20 mm (2:236) and a
right external iliac lymph node measures 8 x 10 mm (2:239). The stability of
these nodes cannot be determined as no prior pelvic imaging is available for
comparison. No suspicious inguinal adenopathy is identified.
CTA: The patient is status post emergent repair of a type A aortic dissection
in ___. The postoperative appearance of the ascending aorta appears
similar to recent examination from ___ from outside hospital.
The ascending aorta measures 5.2 x 5.2 cm at its maximum diameter, and this is
unchanged compared to recent prior examination. However, there appears to be
focal discontinuity of the medial aortic wall (2:52) and communication with an
adjacent hematoma/fluid collection. Hyperdense material is also identified
adjacent to this collection (2:49-54) which raises concern for extravasation
of contrast into a pseudoaneurysm. The adjacent collection measures 2.4 x 3.5
cm and is similar in size compared to CT from 2 days prior, though this
stability could just reflect a subacute contained rupture. The collection
described above appears to be in continuity with a second more superior
anterior mediastinal collection (2:43). This collection has a hyperdense rim
and is stable in size compared to CT from 2 days prior. Given the clinical
history, findings are concerning for subacute contained aortic rupture.
Comparison with prior post-operative chest CTs would be helpful to determine
the acuity of findings. Recommend follow-up multiphase chest CT to determine
if active extravasation is present. A focal dissection flap is seen at the
level of the aortic arch with extension into the proximal descending thoracic
aorta.
The descending thoracic aorta is normal in caliber and widely patent without
significant atherosclerotic plaque. The abdominal aorta and branch vessels
are non-aneurysmal and grossly patent. No focal dissection is identified.
There is minimal atherosclerotic plaque involving the infrarenal abdominal
aorta just proximal to the common iliac bifurcation. The right common iliac
artery is mildly ectatic measuring 1.7 x 1.4 cm (2:202). Distal flow to the
internal-external iliac arteries is preserved. There is variant anatomy at
the celiac axis. The common celiac trunk gives rise to the left gastric
artery and the splenic artery, and the common hepatic artery arises directly
from the aorta (2:133). There is an aneurysm of the left gastric artery
arising 2.7 cm from the origin of the aorta. The aneurysm measures 1.2 x 1.3
x 2.2 cm (2:122 and 602B:42). The more inferior portions of the aneurysm are
partially thrombosed. There is also a replaced left hepatic artery arising
from the left gastric artery. The SMA origin is widely patent. The two right
renal and one left renal arteries are widely patent. The ___ is also
widely patent.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: No bone destructive lesion or acute fracture is
identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. Apparent discontinuity of the ascending aorta with communication to an
adjacent hematoma/fluid collection. Hyperdense areas adjacent to this site
raise concern for extravasation of contrast into a contained
rupture/pseudoaneurysm. Recommend repeat multiphase chest CTA to assess for
active extravasation of contrast into the adjacent mediastinal collections.
Comparison with any prior post-operative chest CTs would also be helpful to
determine chronicity of findings.
2. 2-cm partially thrombosed aneurysm of the left gastric artery
3. Nonspecific mediastinal and hilar adenopathy which is stable since ___

4. Borderline pelvic lymph nodes of uncertain etiology and chronicity.
5. Stable 3-cm left adrenal adenoma.
6. Ectasia of the right common iliac artery measuring 1.7 cm.
7. Diverticulosis
Dr. ___ communicated the above findings and recommendations (#1)
to Dr. ___ at 4:45 pm on ___ by telephone ___ minutes after
discovery.
DLP: 1253.56 mGy-cm
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Patient with throat pain, rule out abscess.
COMPARISON: CT chest from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the neck following
administration of oral and 50 cc of Omnipaque. Coronal and sagittal reformats
were also submitted for review.
CTDIvol: 42.44mGy
CLP: 629.32 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
There is no abnormal fluid collection in the neck. The mediastinal fluid
collection and aortic dissection remain unchanged since ___.
Evaluation of the aerodigestive tract demonstrate no exophytic mucosal mass,
nor areas of focal mass effect. Evaluation of the cervical lymph chains
demonstrate no pathologic lymphadenopathy by imaging criteria. Thyroid gland
is normal. The salivary glands are unremarkable in appearance. Neck vessels
enhance bilaterally without significant stenosis.
IMPRESSION:
1. No abnormal fluid collection or lymphadenopathy in the neck.
2. Mediastinal fluid collection and aortic dissection remain unchanged since
prior study on ___.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ male with history of type A aortic dissection status
post emergent surgical repair in ___ with 30 mm Gelweave graft from
STJ-innominate artery. Patient now admitted with throat and back pain.
Concern on recent CT for aortic pseudoaneurysm adjacent to the graft site.
Assess for active extravasation.
COMPARISON: CTA of the chest from ___ and CTA of the chest from
outside hospital performed on ___.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images of the thoracic aorta were obtained with and
without intravenous contrast. Initial axial images were acquired in a
non-contrast phase followed by arterial, portal venous, and delayed phase
imaging. Coronal and sagittal reformations were prepared.
CT CHEST WITH AND WITHOUT INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: A limited scan field of view
focused on the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and proximal descending aorta was
performed to assess for active extravasation into a mediastinal fluid
collection adjacent to a surgically repaired ascending aorta. A previously
described fluid collection adjacent to the ascending aortic graft just to the
left of midline appears stable in size compared to multiple recent prior
examinations. Additionally, the collection is mildly hyperattenuating on
non-contrast images and does not demonstrate significant appreciable
enhancement (2:38 and 11:38). There are linear septations between the
ascending aortic graft and the above described collection, however, there
still appears to be a direct communication between the aortic graft and this
collection. The slow progressive enhancement of the septations over time is
consistent with granulation tissue/fibrinous tissue. No contrast fills the
collection on post-contrast images to suggest active extravasation. A
slightly more superior anterior mediastinal collection demonstrates
progressive rim enhancement, though does not centrally enhance. The stability
over time, and lack significant contrast enhancement of these collections,
suggests that the process is subacute or chronic. The patient likely had a
subacute rupture of the graft at some point and has now developed a contained
thrombosed pseudoaneurysm surrounded by granulation tissue. Comparison with
prior postoperative CTs would be helpful for further assessment. Scattered
mediastinal lymph nodes remain borderline in size and are unchanged compared
to most recent prior examination. Central pulmonary arteries are patent.
Severe paraseptal and centrilobular emphysema is noted. No bone destructive
lesion or acute fracture is identified. Imaged median sternotomy wires appear
intact.
IMPRESSION:
Probable thrombosed traumatic pseudoaneurysm medial to the ascending aortic
graft. The chronicity of these findings is uncertain, though given probable
surrounding granulation tissue, findings are at least subacute or chronic. No
acute active extravasation is identified. Comparison with prior
post-operative CT examinations would be helpful. Recommend short interval
followup CT (~3 months) to assess for stability and to guide any potential
further interventional management.

TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted imaging was performed. Axial imaging was
performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T2 technique were then
obtained.
COMPARISON Reference CTA head and neck dated ___.
FINDINGS:
There are scattered foci of acute infarction in both inferior cerebellar
hemispheres, right greater than (4:5). These correspond with increased T2
signal (9:4). No additional infarction is identified. There is no evidence
of hemorrhage or mass. Loss of flow void within the basilar artery is noted
in a similar location as the thrombus demonstrated on CTA from 1 day prior
(9:7). However this is a non angiographic examination and complete evaluation
of the basilar artery is not possible. The ventricles and sulci are normal in
caliber and configuration.
Mild mucosal thickening is noted in the maxillary sinuses and anterior ethmoid
air cells. Mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. The imaged
portions of the orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Acute infarcts involving the right greater than left cerebellar

You were hospitalized due to symptoms of dizziness and vomiting
resulting from an ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE, a condition where a
blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is
blocked by a clot. The brain is the part of your body that
controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage
to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result
in a variety of symptoms.
We are changing your medications as follows:
Start taking warfarin (blood thinner)
Start taking atorvastatin (for cholesterol)
Please take your other medications as prescribed.
Please follow up with Neurology and your primary care physician
as listed below.
If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek
emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical
Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur,
please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of
these symptoms:
- Sudden partial or complete loss of vision
- Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth
- Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to
you
- Sudden weakness of one side of the body
- Sudden drooping of one side of the face
- Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body

level of pain: 0
level of acuity: 3.0 | Mr. ___, you were admitted from the ER for workup of your
chronic cough. On arrival you had fluid in your lungs called
edema. The fluid in your lungs may cause cough. It seems that
you usually have too much fluid in your body, which happens when
people require dialysis. Please try sticking to a low salt diet
(meaning no fast food, chips, crackers, ___ fries). Feeling
better in terms of cough after dialysis may mean that your cough
is partially caused by fluid in the lungs.
We did not think that you had a bacterial pneumonia requiring
antibiotics. The most common causes of cough that does not go
away after ___ weeks are not infection. They are usually things
like asthma, acid reflux, and allergic post-nasal drip. You were
already treated with a stomach acid blocker for reflux in the
past few weeks without much help. However, you have not had
significant treatment for asthma, so we added an inhaled steroid
called fluticasone that you should use daily to prevent any
asthma symptoms. If this does not work, you should talk to your
primary care doctor (___) about stopping it.
Additionally, abdominal fullness and poor appetite you
described may be due to diabetes. People with poorly controlled
diabetes can develop nerve problems like tingling or numbness in
the feet. Occasionally, the nerve problems may affect the
stomach and intestines. This can cause food not to move through
normally and can make you feel sick or full. |

In the ED, initial VS: 97.6 95 129/91 20 100%. During interview
with psychiatry, pt became agitated, screaming loudly. She
received haldol 5mg x 2 IM and ativan 2mg x 2 IM and placed in 4
point soft restraints. Following administration of haldol and
ativan, pt became tachycardic to the 130s. EKG showed sinus
tachycardia. HR decreased to 110s after IV fluids but then
increased to 160s again. Toxicology consult was obtained; felt
that tachycardia could be due to anticholinergic effects of
haldol or paradoxical rxn to ativan. Recommended discontinuation
of haldol and liberalization of ativan for agitation.
.
Currently, pt is extremely lethargic and somnolent. Awakens to
loud voice and sternal rub but quickly falls back asleep.

size and configuration. The basal cisterns are patent. There is
preservation of gray-white matter differentiation.
No fracture is identified. The visualized paranasal sinuses,
mastoid air
cells, and middle ear cavities are clear.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute intracranial process.
.
Head MRI with and without contrast:
FINDINGS:
There are several scattered FLAIR hyperintense foci in the
cerebral white
matter, in the centrum semiovale, subcortical and
periventricular white matter, in the frontal and the parietal
lobes on both sides and a few in the occipital lobes. However,
there is no associated abnormal enhancement in these foci. There
is no focus of slow diffusion allowing for artifacts at the
tissue interfaces. On the GRE sequence, there is no focus of
negative susceptibility. Pituitary gland is mildly prominent
with a convex superior border, however, this may be within
normal limits for the patient's age. The ventricles and
extra-axial CSF spaces are unremarkable.
Minimal increase in the FLAIR signal intensity in the right
hippocampus is of equivocal significance, superiorly (series 7,
image 10) and on post-contrast images relates to enhancment of
the adjacent choroid plexus- seen end-on on axial images and
better characterized on coronal and sagittal MPRAGE sequences.
Major intracranial arterial flow voids are noted. A few
retention cysts are noted in the maxillary sinuses, left more
than right.
IMPRESSION:
1. Several small scattered FLAIR hyperintense foci in the
cerebral white matter in the frontal and the parietal lobes
predominantly, without associated enhancement. These are
nonspecific in appearance and can be seen with small vessel
ischemic changes, post-inflammatory sequela, post-infectious
sequela,vasculitis type of disorders or less likely
demyelinating disease given the appearance and distribution. As
no prior studies are available, a followup can be considered in
a few weeks or earlier as clinically necessary, to assess
stability/progression after correlation clinically and with labs
to assess underlying risk factors.
2. No focal abnormal enhancing lesions noted.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD
INDICATION: ___ w/ cavernous malformation complicated by multiple hemorrhages
presenting with LUE weakness and gait instability. Question of hemorrhage and
evaluate cavernous malformation.
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: ___ and ___.
FINDINGS:
Re-demonstrated is a 1.9 x 1.7 x 1.5 cm mixed T2 hyperintensity medullary
lesion with extensive blooming artifact, compatible with known cavernous
malformation. The volume of blood within the lesion appears greater than on
the recent prior study. The volume of enhancement appears similar to prior.
Postcontrast MPRAGE imaging demonstrates a tiny vascular lesion along the
superior aspect of the lesion likely representing a small developmental venous
anomaly. There is again intrinsic T1 enhancement on postcontrast imaging
(series 14, image 4). There is increased T2/FLAIR signal abnormality
associated with lesion, increased compared to prior which may represent
evolution and increase of blood products.
There is no evidence of infarction or of other hemorrhage. The ventricles and
sulci are normal in size and configuration. No mass effect or midline shift.
IMPRESSION:
Medullary lesion is consistent with cavernous malformation with interval
increase in T2/FLAIR signal abnormality, likely representing increased
evolving blood products.

and soft tissue reconstructed images were generated. Coronal reformatted
images were also obtained.
DOSE: DLP: 628 mGy-cm
CTDI: 26 mGy
COMPARISON: None available.
FINDINGS:
The patient is intubated, and both an endotracheal tube and nasogastric tube
are incompletely visualized within the upper oropharynx. There is extensive
mucosal thickening involving the bilateral maxillary sinuses, sphenoid
sinuses, and frontal sinuses, in addition to the bilateral anterior and
posterior ethmoidal air cells. Air-fluid levels are seen within the maxillary
sinuses, an secretions are noted throughout the nasopharynx, some of which may
be due to the patient's intubated status. The ostiomeatal units are
attenuated and obscured on the right and left, respectively, secondary to the
extensive mucosal thickening. The nasal septum is deviated towards the right,
and there is a comminuted fracture of the nasal bone.
Obliquely oriented fractures are noted through the anterior body of the right
and left mandible. The patient is status post internal fixation of these
fractures, with intact surgical plating and fixation screws extending along
the anterior surface of the mandible. There is no evidence of hardware
failure. Several tiny foci of gas adjacent to the mandible are likely
postoperative in nature. Additional postsurgical changes are noted, including
adjacent soft tissue swelling and cutaneous surgical staples.

level of acuity: nan | You were admitted to the hospital after you were assaulted in
the face. You were taken to the operating room where underwent
repair of your jaw. Your vital signs have been stable and you
are preparing for discharge with the following instructions:
Wound care: Do not disturb or probe the surgical area with any
objects. The sutures placed in your mouth are usually the type
that self dissolve. If you have any sutures on the skin of your
face or neck, your surgeon will remove them on the day of your
first follow up appointment. SMOKING is detrimental to healing
and will cause complications.
Bleeding: Intermittent bleeding or oozing overnight is normal.
Placing fresh gauze over the area and biting on the gauze for
___ minutes at a time may control the bleeding. If you had
nasal surgery, you may have occasional slow oozing from your
nostril for the first ___ days. Bleeding should never be severe.
If bleeding persists or is severe or uncontrollable, please call
our office immediately. If it is after normal business hours,
please come to the emergency room and request that the oral
surgery resident on call be paged.
___: Normal healing after oral surgery should be as follows:
the first ___ days after surgery, are generally the most
uncomfortable and there is usually significant swelling. After
the first week, you should be more comfortable. The remainder of
your postoperative course should be gradual, steady improvement.
If you do not see continued improvement, please call our office.
Physical activity: It is recommended that you not perform any
strenuous physical activity for a few weeks after surgery. Do
not lift any heavy loads and avoid physical sports unless you
obtain permission from your surgeon.
Swelling & Ice applications: Swelling is often associated with
surgery. Swelling can be minimized by using a cold pack, ice bag
or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel, with firm
application to face and neck areas. This should be applied 20
minutes on and 20 minutes off during the first ___ days after
surgery. If you have been given medicine to control the
swelling, be sure to take it as directed.
Hot applications: Starting on the ___ or ___ day after surgery,
you may apply warm compresses to the skin over the areas of
swelling (hot water bottle wrapped in a towel, etc), for 20
minutes on and 20 min off to help soothe tender areas and help
to decrease swelling and stiffness. Please use caution when
applying ice or heat to your face as certain areas may feel numb
after surgery and extremes of temperature may cause serious
damage.
Tooth brushing: Begin your normal oral hygiene the day after
surgery. Soreness and swelling may nor permit vigorous brushing,
but please make every effort to clean your teeth with the bounds
of comfort. Any toothpaste is acceptable. Please remember that
your gums may be numb after surgery. To avoid injury to the gums
during brushing, use a child size toothbrush and brush in front
of a mirror staying only on teeth.
Mouth rinses: Keeping your mouth clean after surgery is
essential. Use 1 teaspoon of salt dissolved in an 8 ounce glass
of warm water and gently rinse with portions of the solution,
taking 5 min to use the entire glassful. Repeat as often as you
like, but you should do this at least 4 times each day. If your
surgeon has prescribed a specific rinse, use as directed.
Showering: You may shower ___ days after surgery, but please ask
your surgeon about this. If you have any incisions on the skin
of your face or body, you should cover them with a water
resistant dressing while showering. DO NOT SOAK SURGICAL SITES.
This will avoid getting the area excessively wet. As you may
physically feel weak after surgery, initially avoid extreme hot
or cold showers, as these may cause some patients to pass out.
Also it is a good idea to make sure someone is available to
assist you in case if you may need help.
If you develop the following, please return to the emergency
room:
*fever
*chills
*nausea/vomitting
*abdominal pain
*bleeding from mouth

Radiology Report
CLINICAL INDICATION: Stab wounds to the left neck.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS: Portable supine frontal view of the chest.
The lung volumes are low; however, no opacity, pleural effusion or
pneumothorax is seen. The cardiac and mediastinal contours are within normal
limits for technique. The left clavicle is fractured and displaced; however,
the edges are rounded and ill-defined suggesting that this is chronic. There
are degenerative changes in the left glenohumeral joint. No displaced rib
fracture is detected on this lung-technique film.
IMPRESSION:
1) No acute pulmonary process identified.
2) Ununited left clavicular fracture that is thought to be old.
Osteoarthritis in the left glenohumeral joint.
Radiology Report
STUDY: CTA of the neck.
CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ male patient with history of stab wound.
COMPARISON: No prior examinations of the neck are available.
TECHNIQUE: After the administration of intravenous non-ionic contrast
material, axial images were obtained through the neck, sagittal, axial and
coronal reformations were reviewed.
FINDINGS: There is dissection of the left internal carotid artery with a
small pseudoaneurysm (series #2, image #162), the dissection begins
approximately at 1 cm above the cervical carotid bifurcation and extends for
approximately 5 mm. The common carotid arteries and their major branches
appear intact without evidence of active extravasation. There is no evidence
of disruption of the internal jugular veins. There is extensive subcutaneous
gas tracking along the anterior tissue planes through the neck. The esophagus
is filled with air, but appears intact. The left clavicle fracture possibly
is chronic in nature, please correlate clinically.
IMPRESSION: There is dissection of the left internal carotid artery with a
small pseudoaneurysm as described in detail above. Subcutaneus emphysema
tracking along the anterior neck tissue plane. Apparently, there is no
evidence of active contrast extravasation.
These findings were discovered and communicated via phone call to Dr. ___ by
Dr. ___ at 5:15 a.m. on ___.
Radiology Report
CLINICAL INDICATION: Stab wound to neck and back.
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT scan through the abdomen and pelvis was performed
after the administration of Omnipaque intravenous contrast. Coronal and
sagittal reformatted images were obtained.
DLP: 887.63 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS: There is bibasilar atelectasis; otherwise, the lung bases are
clear. The heart size is normal. There is no pleural or pericardial
effusion.
The liver enhances homogeneously without focal lesions or evidence of
intrahepatic biliary duct dilation. The portal vein is patent. Prominent
celiac lymph nodes are not enlarged by CT size criteria. The gallbladder
appears normal. The pancreas is unremarkable. The spleen is enlarged,
measuring up to 17 cm. There is minimal fat stranding around the liver. The
kidneys enhance homogeneously and excrete contrast bilaterally. Adrenal
glands appear normal.
Esophageal and periesophageal varices are suggested. The stomach contains a
minimal amount of fluid and is otherwise unremarkable. The small and large
bowel are unremarkable without evidence of wall thickening or adjacent fat
stranding. The appendix is visualized in the right lower quadrant and appears
normal.
The bladder is partially filled and appears normal. The prostate is
unremarkable. There is no free fluid, free air or abnormal lymphadenopathy.
The aorta is normal in caliber without evidence of dissection.
SUBCUTANEOUS AND OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No fracture is identified; however, the
left hip is externally rotated, although this may be positional.
There is subcutaneous air as well as fat stranding and breaks within the skin
behind the right abdomen (2:33 and 2:62). No focal hematoma or disruption of
the deep fascia is identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of acute intra-abdominal injury. Findings suggesting
superficial right posterior injury.
2. Splenomegaly, mildy prominent celiac lymph nodes, and findings suggesting
esophageal varices. No clear morphological changes in the liver; however,
findings are concerning for liver disease with portal hypertension.
3. The left hip appears to be externally rotated. This may simply be due to
positioning; however, injury is not excluded. Correlation with physical exam
findings is recommended.

You were admitted to the ___ Surgery service at ___ after
sustaining multiple stab wounds - to the right flank, anterior
neck and posterior neck. We obtained several imaging scans
including CT of your head and neck, as well as CT with contrast
to evaluate the vessels in your head and neck. This scan showed
a small dissection in your L internal carotid artery. You were
also seen by our colleagues in Vascular Surgery who advised a
carotid doppler imaging study to further evaluate the
dissection. This study was reassuring; however, you should
follow-up with Vascular Surgery in ONE (1) month for a repeat
study and clinic visit. Please keep in mind the following
instructions:
1) Activity: You may resume all previous activities. You should
limit your alcohol intake as this appears to be causing damage
to your liver, a condition called alcoholic cirrhosis, which is
irreversible and can lead to very serious medical problems
including esophageal varices, bleeding and infection.
2) Medications: you may continue all previous medications.
However, you should check with your doctor before starting any
new medications that may interfere with, or worsen your liver
function.
3) Pain: we are providing you with oxycodone, an opiate pain
medication. Please wait at least four hours between doses, and
do not drive while taking this medication. You should avoid
overusing Tylenol (>3 grams/day) since this can affect your
liver as well.
4) Food: You may resume your previous diet. |

The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. No aortic
regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly
thickened. Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. MR
increased to 3+ will increase in BP vs. ischemia. Due to the
eccentric nature of the regurgitant jet (posterior directed),
its severity may be significantly underestimated (Coanda
effect). The mitral valve tenting height is 13 mm and the
tenting area is 1.9 cm2. First POSTBYPASS Period:
Biventricular systolic function is preserved. There is a ring
annuloplasty in the mitral position. However MR remains moderate
in quantity and is still posteriorly directed. Second
POSTBYPASS: Biventricular systolic function remains normal.
There is a well seated, well functioning bileaflet mechanical
valve in the ___ position. MR is present which is normal in
quantity and location (washing jets) for this type of

CHEST RADIOGRAPH
HISTORY: Status post CABG and mitral valve replacement.
COMPARISONS: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, portable AP supine.
FINDINGS: The patient is status post interval mitral valve replacement
surgery. The patient is intubated. The endotracheal tube terminates about 6
cm above the carina. An orogastric tube passes into the stomach where it
loops once, its distal course not visualized. A chest tube projects over the
left lower hemithorax. There is apparently at least one mediastinal drain,
although not optimally visualized.A Swan-Ganz catheter terminates in the right
main pulmonary artery. The mediastinum is similar in configuration with
indistinct contours that can be expected immediately following surgery. There
is probably a small left basilar pleural effusion as well as minor atelectasis
at the left lung base. Trace air is present in the right cardiophrenic angle,
also not unanticipated after surgery.
IMPRESSION: Anticipated post-operative findings.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with removal of chest tubes.
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Frontal and lateral chest radiograph demonstrate interval removal of
endotracheal tube, enteric tube, and Swan Ganz catheter. There is increased
right pleural effusion and adjacent atelectasis but improved left atelectasis.
Left-sided pleural effusion is similar in appearance. The cardiomediastinal
silhouette is stable. No pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION:
Increased right-sided pleural effusion with adjacent atelectasis. Improved
left-sided atelectasis with persistent and unchanged left pleural effusion.

PA and lateral views of the chest, ___ at 1530 is submitted.
IMPRESSION:
Stably enlarged cardiac contours status post median sternotomy with mitral
valve annular ring and CABG. There is persistent bibasilar patchy opacity
with likely associated small effusions. These findings may reflect
compressive atelectasis, although aspiration or pneumonia should also be
considered. No evidence of pulmonary edema. No pneumothorax. Overall, the
appearance is not significantly changed since ___.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female status post CABG and mitral valve replacement.
Assess for pleural effusions.
COMPARISON: Chest radiographs dating back to ___, most recent

History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ y/o woman with PMH notable for NASH
cirrhosis c/b recurrent admissions for HE and grade 2 varices
s/p banding, GAVE s/p APC in ___, HFpEF, HTN, and T2DM,
presenting with 3 days of worsening weakness.
Per both patient and her husband at bedside, Ms. ___ has
been quite weak for sometime now with her chronic medical
problems, namely cirrhosis. However, about 3 days ago, her
husband noted that she was unable to get up, even with
assistance. She began endorsing pain in her bilateral upper
thighs long the lateral aspects and almost fell multiple times,
including on day of admission due to her weakness. Her husband
comments that she may be a little more confused than usual, but
has been making about 3 BM's per day. She has been taking her
home rifaximin and lactulose as instructed.
Otherwise, the patient was sick with a cold about 2 weeks ago,
which has resolved. She denies any infectious symptoms of
fevers, chills, lingering cough, N/V, abdominal pain, rash, or
dysuria/urinary frequency. Her husband does note that her UTI's
in the past have been asymptomatic. She also denies any
hematochezia, but states that he stool is always dark with iron.
Recent medication changes include decrease in her dose of Lasix
from 20mg to 10mg PO daily and spironolactone from 50mg to 25mg
PO daily about 2 weeks PTA, at instruction of outpatient
hepatologist (Dr. ___. She does feel that her legs are
swollen, most from her ongoing pyoderma gangrenosum and that her
abdomen is slightly more swollen than usual. Denies any
shortness of breath or orthopnea.
At baseline, she is essentially non-ambulatory, sitting in a
sofa most of the day and not walking. This is attributed to
chronic fatigue and weakness from her liver disease and chronic
pain in her lower extremities due to PG. With regards to mental
status, the patient's husband feels that she may be slightly
more confused than usual, but they presented to the ED mostly
due to worsening of her weakness.

level of acuity: 3.0 | Dear Miss ___,
You were admitted due to weakness and leg pains. From your
laboratory results, we concluded you had rhabdomyolysis. This
also led to a rise in liver enzymes which is usually expected.
You were given fluids to help this resolve. We are unclear what
led to this happening; we suspect sitting in one place for days
could have caused that or the use of atorvastatin. We reviewed
the rest of your medications to ensure you're not on any new
other medications which could have caused this.
We also treated you for a urinary tract infection which was
initially treated with ciprofloxacin but your cultures showed an
organism called Enterococcus which was resistant to it, so we
switched you to Doxycyline 100mg daily for a 7 day course, last
dose on ___.
Note that we STOPPED your atorvastatin. Please do not take it
until you see your doctor.
Please ensure close follow up with your doctors after ___.
It was a pleasure being part of your care.
Sincerely,
Your ___ Liver Team |

STUDIES
===========
ECG (___): Atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular
response and a narrow QRS complex. Leftward axis. Non-specific
repolarization abnormalities. Compared to the previous tracing
of ___ the ventricular response in atrial fibrillation has
slowed further.
CXR (___): IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary
disease.
CT HEAD (___): IMPRESSION: Stable areas of atrophy,
encephalomalacia, and white matter disease. No evidence of
acute process.
MRA BRAIN AND NECK W/O CONTRAST (___):
MR brain: There is no acute infarct or intracerebral
hemorrhage. A chronic right cerebellar infarct is again noted.
Principal intracranial vascular flowvoids are preserved. No
extra-axial blood or fluid collection is present. The ventricles
and sulci are prominent, consistent with age related
involutional changes. Mild small vessel ischemic disease is
seen. No diffusion abnormality is detected. No intracranial mass
is identified.
MRA brain and neck: MRA is limited due to patient motion. Normal
flow is seen in the bilateral ICAs and MCAs, but the peripheral
branches of these vessels cannot be evaluated. The distal left
vertebral artery is not visualized on this exam and is probably
congenitally small. Limited evaluation is performed of the neck
vessels with 2D time-of-flight, which demonstrates no high-grade
stenosis or occlusion.
IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial process. 2. Limited MRA
due to patient motion. No high-grade stenosis or occlusion
detected.

Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
HISTORY: Altered mental status.
COMPARISONS: ___ and ___.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, AP upright portable.
FINDINGS: The cardiac, mediastinal and hilar contours appear stable. Lung
volumes remain low. Minimal opacification at each lung base suggests minor
atelectasis. Otherwise, the lungs appear clear. There are no pleural
effusions or pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease.
Radiology Report
HEAD CT
HISTORY: Altered mental status.
COMPARISONS: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT.
FINDINGS: Areas of volume loss in the brain, most noteworthy along the left
frontal and temporal lobes as well as in the right cerebellar hemisphere,
appear stable, in addition to more generalized background atrophy. Patchy but
substantial areas of white matter hypodensity in the white matter of cerebral
hemispheres appear unchanged. The degree of ventricular dilatation appears
stable and not probably out of proportion to the extent of generalized
atrophy. Volume loss is also striking in the anterior temporal lobes and
along the cerebellum. There is no evidence for intracranial hemorrhage. The
mastoid air cells appear clear. The visualized paranasal sinuses also appear
clear. Cavernous carotid and vertebral artiers calcifications are prominent.
There has been no significant change.
IMPRESSION: Stable areas of atrophy, encephalomalacia, and white matter
disease. No evidence of acute process.

It was a pleasure meeting and caring for you during your most
recent hospitalization at ___.
You were admitted with an episode of unresponsiveness witnessed
by your daughter. Once you were admitted, we found that you
have a slow heart rate which you told us has been known about
for a long time. We asked the cardiologists and the
neurologists to evaluate you. The cardiologists did not believe
that your slow heart rate was related to your symptoms.
Following an extensive evaluation, we felt that your symptoms
were probably the result of ongoing confusion known as delirium
(a common condition we see in elderly patient's) or possibly due
to a condition called ___ Body Dementia.
Please continue to follow-up with your outpatient doctors. We
wish you a speedy recovery.

Radiology Report
PORTABLE CHEST, ___.
HISTORY: ___ female with cough.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS: Single portable view of the chest. Slight limitation due to shells
and cardiac wires overlying the patient's chest. The lungs appear grossly
clear. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. No acute osseous
abnormalities identified.
IMPRESSION: No visualized acute cardiopulmonary process.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with cough and fever. Please perform a
lateral view to evaluate for pneumonia.
COMPARISON: Frontal chest radiograph performed approximately one hour prior
to this exam.
TECHNIQUE: A leftward rotated AP view and a lateral view of the chest were
obtained.
FINDINGS: The frontal view is extremely rotated to the left, with complete
projection of the mediastinum over the left lung, which limits assessment.
The expanded right lung is unremarkable. Assessment in the lateral view is
also limited due to superimposition of the arms, but allowing for technical
limitations, there is no spine sign, pleural effusion, or abnormality in the
anterior mediastinum. No pneumothorax is identified. Artifacts from external
hair devices are again seen.
IMPRESSION: Limited examination. No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary
process.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ woman with tachycardia.
TECHNIQUE: Grayscale, color Doppler, and spectral analysis of the venous
system of both lower extremities was performed.
COMPARISON: None available
FINDINGS:
There is normal compression and augmentation of the common femoral veins,
proximal, mid and distal superficial femoral veins as well as the popliteal
veins in both lower extremities. The peroneal and posterior tibial veins were
visualized in both calves and demonstrate wall to wall flow. There is normal
phasicity of the common femoral veins bilaterally.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in either
the right or the left lower extremity.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CTA chest
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with tachycardia // please assess for PE
Additional history acquired that the patient has cerebral palsy and has had
significant mucus production.
TECHNIQUE: CTA of the chest was performed after the administration of IV
contrast. 100 mL of Omnipaque was administered for this examination.
DOSE: DLP: 235 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Examination of the pulmonary arterial tree demonstrates no evidence of
pulmonary embolism. Evaluation of the aorta demonstrates no acute aortic
abnormality. There is a common trunk of the innominate artery and left common
carotid artery ("bovine arch"), normal variant.
Examination of soft tissue windows demonstrates no evidence of axillary,
mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. An 8 mm right hilar lymph node is seen
(series 3, image 44).
There is very minimal soft tissue density seen in the anterior mediastinum,
consistent with residual thymic tissue, and probably physiologic in a patient
of this age. The heart and pericardium appear grossly unremarkable.
Examination of the lung windows demonstrate endoluminal filling defects within
the right lower lobe lateral and posterior bronchi. In a patient of this age
and given the clinical presentation, this is likely mucus plugging. There is
no pulmonary consolidation evident.
There is some ground-glass opacity and loss of volume involving the left lower
lobe, likely due to chest wall morphology.
Maximum intensity projection images of the chest and pulmonary arteries
confirm these findings.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism.
2. Endoluminal filling defects seen within the right lower lobe bronchi,
particularly within the posterior and lateral basilar bronchopulmonary
segments.
NOTIFICATION: The findings regarding endobronchial plugging were discussed
by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ on the telephone on ___ at 1:55 ___, 5

level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
You were admitted because you had more oral mucous than you
normally do and you were having difficulty with these
secretions. Your symptoms may have been due to difficulty
swallowing or a pneumonia. We will be sending you home with
antibiotics to treat a pneumonia. A scan of your chest revealed
that you do have mucous build-up in your lungs. We have arranged
for you to receive suctioning at home, which will help with
these symptoms. We performed some tests to determine if your
symptoms are due to the flu. This test has not yet returned. We
will discharge you home with a mask until the tests return.
Please wear the mask whenever you are in public until we call
you with the results.
We were also concerned about your fast heart rate. This may have
been, in part, the result of dehydration. However, even though
you received a lot of fluids, your heart rate was still quite
fast. Sometimes this is due to a clot on your lungs. We
performed a scan of your chest which did not reveal a clot, but
did reveal a build up of mucous in your lungs. The fast heart
rate may be your body's response to this mucous build up. We
will manage this with suctioning at home.
Please continue to take your antibiotics through ___.
Please follow up with the appointments listed below.
It was a pleasure to be a part of your care!
Happy birthday from your ___ treatment team. |

History of Present Illness:
HPI: The patient is a ___ PMHx L frontal lobe infarct (___), L
temporal-parietal grade 2 meningioma s/p resection ___, CAD s/p
MI, HFpEF, stage III CKD, PAD, HTN, T2DM on insulin, and atrial
fibrillation not on AC (unclear reason) who presents with
dysarthria and left facial droop.
At baseline, patient lives with her daughter and granddaughter.
She requires assistance with ADLs but is able to ambulate
independently. On the morning of presentation, pt was at her
baseline. Her granddaughter left for work at 10a. Shortly
thereafter, after 10:30a, her daughter heard a thud upstairs. Pt
reports she was walking out of the bathroom to grab her phone
and
slipped on a hanger. She denies hitting her head or losing
awareness; she landed on her butt. Her daughter helped her to
standing position and patient was then able to stand unassisted.
Pt's daughter then noted pt was slurring her speech and had a
right facial droop so EMS was called.
In the ED, patient was a code stroke. NIHSS 2 for dysarthria and
left nasolabial fold flattening (right facial droop had resolved
at the time of my assessment, confirmed with daughter, and
daughter stated that left NLFF was chronic). ___ showed a 1.9
cm extra-axial hyperdense lesion that likely represented a
meningioma (vs. bleed) and "mixed sclerotic and lytic lesions by
an abnormal soft tissue density primarily located in the
anterior
portion of the middle cranial fossa extending to the left
sphenoid sinus with an intra-orbital component" (chronicity
unclear). Due to minimal deficits and possible IPH (although
less
likely), tPA was deferred.
Of note, pt was recently diagnosed with an E. coli UTI and
underwent treatment with Cipro 250 mg bid x 5 days.
On neurologic review of systems, the patient reports chronic
visual and hearing loss bilaterally. Pt denies headache,
lightheadedness, or confusion. Denies difficulty with producing
or comprehending speech. Denies vertigo, tinnitus, or dysphagia.
Denies focal muscle weakness, numbness, parasthesia. Denies loss
of sensation. Denies bowel or bladder incontinence or retention.
Denies difficulty with gait.

IMAGING
NCHCT (___):
1. A 1.9 cm extra-axial hyperdense lesion with suggestion of
calcifications in the right parietal convexity without
hyperostosis of the overlying bone. This may represent a
meningioma but cannot definitively exclude extra-axial
hemorrhage.
2. Expansion of the sphenoid triangle with mixed sclerotic and
lytic lesions by an abnormal soft tissue density primarily
located in the anterior portion of the middle cranial fossa
extending to the left sphenoid sinus with an intra-orbital
component leading to mass effect on the left lateral rectus
muscle, retro-orbital fat, and proptosis. These findings may be
related to an intraosseous meningioma with soft tissue extension
and postoperative changes from prior left pterional craniotomy.
MR HEAD W & W/O CONTRAST; MRA BRAIN W/O CONTRAST; MRA NECK W&W/O
CONTRAST (___):
1. Status post left pterional craniotomy for meningioma, with
area of
enhancement in the left middle cranial fossa as described above,
suspicious for recurrence.
2. Redemonstration of calcified right parietal meningioma.
3. Acute infarction within the right frontal temporal lobes and
in the left precentral gyrus.
4. Chronic infarction within the right cerebellar hemisphere.
No intracranial hemorrhage.
5. Diffuse parenchymal volume loss with nonspecific white matter
signal
abnormality, likely a sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic
disease.
6. Unremarkable MRA head.
7. Difficult to assess right vertebral artery with areas of non
enhancement which may be related to atherosclerotic disease.
Otherwise, unremarkable MRA neck.

left frontal and temporal lobe, potentially related to postsurgical changes
for resection of mass lesion.
There is expansion of the sphenoid triangle with mixed sclerotic and lucent
areas and abnormal soft tissue component extending from the region of the
prior surgical bed into the left sphenoid sinus. There is an additional
orbital soft tissue component measuring 4.2 x 1.5 cm leading to mass effect on
the left lateral rectus muscle and the retro-orbital fat with left proptosis
(2; 11). An additional extra-axial component is located in the anterior
portion of the middle cranial fossa. These changes may be due to an
intraosseous meningioma with postoperative changes, correlate with prior
imaging or follow-up with MR evaluation.
Hypodensity in the cerebellum on the right is consistent with old infarct.
Bilateral scattered basal ganglia hypodensities consistent with old lacunar
infarcts. Periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities are
nonspecific but likely represent sequelae of chronic small vessel disease.
There is no midline shift. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and
configuration.
The frontal sinuses, maxillary sinuses, ethmoid sinuses and mastoid air cells
are clear. Scleral band about the right globe noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. A 1.9 cm extra-axial hyperdense lesion with suggestion of calcifications
in the right parietal convexity without hyperostosis of the overlying bone.
This may represent a meningioma but cannot definitively exclude extra-axial
hemorrhage.
2. Expansion of the sphenoid triangle with mixed sclerotic and lytic lesions
by an abnormal soft tissue density primarily located in the anterior portion
of the middle cranial fossa extending to the left sphenoid sinus with an
intra-orbital component leading to mass effect on the left lateral rectus
muscle, retro-orbital fat, and proptosis. These findings may be related to an
intraosseous meningioma with soft tissue extension and postoperative changes
from prior left pterional craniotomy.
RECOMMENDATION(S): For both of the above findings, correlate with prior
imaging or alternatively follow-up with MR.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with SLURRED SPEECH, Left facial droop// ICH. FRACTURE
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images obtained through the cervical spine
without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were reviewed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 5.3 s, 21.0 cm; CTDIvol = 22.6 mGy (Body) DLP = 475.2
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 475 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Noncontrast head CT performed on the same day.
FINDINGS:
There is reversal of cervical lordosis without malalignment. No fractures are
identified.
Multilevel degenerative changes most severe at C3-C4 through C5-C6 with
intervertebral disc height loss, uncovertebral hypertrophy, and facet
arthropathy. Superimposed post posterior disc bulges at C3-C4 and C4-C5 lead
to at least moderate spinal canal narrowing and presumed spinal cord
remodeling.
There is no prevertebral edema.
Known soft tissue lesion extending into the sphenoid sinus is better seen on
head CT performed on same day.
A 1.4 cm hypodense right thyroid nodule is identified, no follow-up imaging is
needed given size and age. The included lung apices are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No fracture or malalignment.
2. Degenerative changes with posterior disc bulge at C3-C4 and C4-C5 causing
at least moderate spinal canal narrowing and presumed spinal cord remodeling.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN AND MRA NECK PT11 MR ___
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with hx meningioma, new dysarthria, transient R
nasal labial fold; also odd lesion in L middle cranial fossa. Evaluate for
infarct, also further evaluation of left middle cranial fossa lesion
TECHNIQUE: Three dimensional time of flight MR arteriography was performed
through the brain with maximum intensity projection reconstructions.
Dynamic MRA of the neck was performed during administration of 13 mL of
Multihance intravenous contrast.
Brain imaging was performed with sagittal T1 and axial FLAIR, T2, gradient
echo and diffusion technique.
Three dimensional maximum intensity projection and segmented images were
generated. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. The
examination was performed using a 1.5T MRI.
COMPARISON: CT head ___
FINDINGS:
MRI BRAIN:
Patient is status post left pterional craniotomy for resection of known
meningioma. There is a 4.1 cm TV x 5.3 cm AP x 6.8 cm enhancing mass within
the left middle cranial fossa corresponding to mixed lytic and sclerotic
lesion seen on prior CT. Superiorly, the mass is lateral to the orbit
exerting mass effect on the lateral rectus muscle with resulting proptosis.
Medially, the mass extends into the left sphenoid sinus with enhancement along
the left aspect of the cavernous sinus with preserved flow voids. There is
extension through the left pterygopalatine fossa and possibly the sphenoid
palatine foramen and likely foramina rotundum. There is enhancement within
the left anterior temporal lobe extra-axial space with adjacent cystic
encephalomalacia within the left temporal lobe.
There is slow diffusion within the right frontal temporal lobes and within the
left precentral gyrus. There is no intracranial hemorrhage. There is chronic
infarction within the right cerebellum. There is a calcified right parietal
extra-axial mass measuring 2.1 cm TV x 1.4 cm AP x 1.6 cm SI. There is
diffuse parenchymal volume loss with prominence of the ventricles and sulci.
There are nonspecific periventricular and subcortical FLAIR hyperintensity in
addition to the pons, likely a sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic
disease.
There is mild mucosal thickening of bilateral ethmoid and sphenoid air cells.
There is right scleral banding. Patient is status post bilateral lens
replacement again seen is left orbital proptosis. The dural venous sinuses
appear patent on post-contrast MPRAGE images.
MRA BRAIN:
The intracranial vasculature appears patent without evidence of stenosis,
occlusion, or aneurysm. There is a left dominant vertebral artery.
MRA NECK:
It is difficult to assess enhancement within the right vertebral artery with
areas of non enhancement, which may be related to atherosclerotic disease or
artifactual related to technique. Within the confines of the study, the
bilateral internal and common carotid arteries appear patent without internal
carotid artery stenosis by NASCET criteria. The left vertebral artery appears
patent.
IMPRESSION:
1. Status post left pterional craniotomy for meningioma, with area of
enhancement in the left middle cranial fossa as described above, suspicious
for recurrence.
2. Redemonstration of calcified right parietal meningioma.
3. Acute infarction within the right frontal temporal lobes and in the left
precentral gyrus.
4. Chronic infarction within the right cerebellar hemisphere. No intracranial
hemorrhage.
5. Diffuse parenchymal volume loss with nonspecific white matter signal
abnormality, likely a sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
6. Unremarkable MRA head.
7. Difficult to assess right vertebral artery with areas of non enhancement
which may be related to atherosclerotic disease. Otherwise, unremarkable MRA
neck.

level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
You were hospitalized due to symptoms of left facial droop and
slurred speech resulting from an ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE, a
condition where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to
the brain is blocked by a clot. The brain is the part of your
body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body,
so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply
can result in a variety of symptoms.
Stroke can have many different causes, so we assessed you for
medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke.
In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk
factors. Your risk factors are:
-Hypertension
-Hyperlipidemia
-Atrial fibrillation
-Congestive heart failure
-Type 2 Diabetes
We are changing your medications as follows:
-Apixaban 2.5mg twice daily
Please take your other medications as prescribed.
Please followup with Neurology and your primary care physician.
If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek
emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical
Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur,
please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of
these symptoms:
- Sudden partial or complete loss of vision
- Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth
- Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to
you
- Sudden weakness of one side of the body
- Sudden drooping of one side of the face
- Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body

History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ woman with a history of atrial fibrillation
on aspirin/amiodarone therapy, hypertension, hyperlipidemia,
left sided subclavian steal and a lung nodule who presents to
the ED with a brief episode of right arm numbness and impaired
speech. On the morning of admission, she had just finished
eating breakfast when she went into her room and started folding
clothes. She noticed that her right hand felt numb. It was not
clumsy at the time and she noted that she was able to fold
clothes without difficulty. Shortly thereafter, she noted that
the tongue felt like it was pushing upwards on the right side of
her mouth. She went to speak to her daughter about this and
noted that she simply couldn't get any words out. When finally
she could use some words to express herself, her speech was
slow, stuttering and slurred. Apparently she was able to write
her thoughts down. She had ___ difficulty comprehending commands
around her. The numbness went away within 5 minutes but the
speech difficulties persisted for about 1 hour. Her daughter now
reports that the right side of her face was droopy, but is much
improved now. The daughter also confirmed that her mother's
speech and fluency was much better than previous.
Review of systems is positive for difficulties with left sided
thigh pain and some recent issues with neck pain. She has not
had nausea, emesis, chest pain, congestion, cough, abdominal
pain, dysuria, hematuria. She denied double vision or headache
during these symptoms.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: Slurred speech, right hand numbness.
COMPARISON: Head CT ___.
TECHNIQUE: Axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without the
administration of IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were also
examined.
FINDINGS: There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect or
large vascular territory infarction. The ventricles and sulci are normal in
size and configuration for age. Again seen is a left thalamic rounded
calcific density, stable compared to prior studies. Bilateral basal ganglia
calcifications are also noted. The basal cisterns are patent, and gray white
matter differentiation is maintained.
No fracture is identified. Atherosclerotic calcifications of the carotid
siphons are noted. The mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear.
Secretions in the left sphenoid sinus and partial opacification of the right
mastoid air cells are present. Note is made of a right lens replacement.
Additionally, elongation of the posterior right globe is present, consistent
with known staphyloma.
IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process.
Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
INDICATION: History of pulmonary nodules, questionable nodule on radiograph.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is unchanged evidence
of a minimal parenchymal opacity, located in the left apex, and very likely
the result of overlying vascular and parenchymal structures. The structure
has not grown or changed in morphology.
No other changes. No pleural effusions. Borderline size of the cardiac
silhouette. Tortuosity of the thoracic aorta. Normal hilar and mediastinal
structures.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ year old woman with new right sided weakness and
aphasia/dysarthria.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multi sequence MR images of the head were performed
before and after the administration of intravenous contrast. Non contrast MRA
of the head, and pre- and post-contrast MRA of the neck, were obtained.
COMPARISON: CT head ___ ; MR head ___.
FINDINGS:
MR Brain: MRI of the brain demonstrates no evidence of hemorrhage or
infarction. There are small scattered T2/FLAIR high signal foci throughout the
brain consistent; in light of the patient's age, these are probably sequela of
chronic microvascular changes. Gray white matter differentiation is otherwise
maintained. Ventricular, cisternal, and sulcal prominence may be a function
of age-related parenchymal volume loss. There is a stable coarse
calcification within the left thalamus. The paranasal sinuses and mastoid air
cells demonstrate normal signal. The right globe lens replacement changes are
noted. The sella turcica, craniocervical junction, orbits are otherwise
unremarkable.
MRA Head: Normal flow signal is noted in the petrous, cavernous, and
supraclinoid portions of the internal carotid arteries. The right A1 segment
is diminutive likely related to atherosclerosis. The anterior and middle
cerebral or vertebral arteries are otherwise unremarkable. The anterior
communicating artery region unremarkable. The right P1 segment is
hypoplastic. The posterior cerebral arteries and basilar artery are otherwise
unremarkable. The superior cerebellar arteries are normal. The right
vertebral artery is dominant; the intradural segment of the right vertebral
artery appears patent. The left intradural vertebral artery is diminutive
likely related to atheromatous disease. The posterior communicating arteries
are seen. No arterial other stenosis, saccular aneurysm, or AVM is
identified.
MRA Neck: There is common origin to the innominate and left common carotid
artery, a normal variant. The common, internal, and external carotid arteries
demonstrate normal flow signal and enhancement. No stenosis is identified.
The origins of the innominate, left common carotid, and left subclavian
arteries are normal. The right vertebral artery is unremarkable. The entire
left vertebral artery is markedly diminished in caliber just beyond the origin
likely related to atheromatous disease.
IMPRESSION:
Age-related involutional and chronic microangiopathic changes without evidence
of acute infarct, hemorrhage, or mass effect.
Entire left vertebral artery is markedly diminished in caliber with severe
stenosis just beyond the origin likely related to atheromatous disease, as
well as diminutive right A1 and P1 segments.

IMAGING/STUDIES:
KUB ___
FINDINGS: The stomach is non-distended. There are no dilated
loops of large or small bowel or air-fluid levels. No free air
is seen. Stool and air are seen throughout all portions of the
colon, including the rectum. IMPRESSION: Unremarkable bowel
gas pattern.
CT ABD/PELVIS W/ CONTRAST ___
FINDINGS:
ABDOMEN: The visualized lung bases are clear. There are no
pleural
effusions. The liver is homogeneous in texture with no focal
lesions. There is no biliary ductal dilatation. The
gallbladder is normal. The spleen, pancreas, and adrenal glands
are normal. Multifocal chronic scar formation is seen in the
bilateral kidneys. The kidneys are otherwise unremarkable.
The stomach is normal in caliber and unremarkable. In the left
upper quadrant, a long segment of perhaps mildly thickened
enhancing small bowel is followed by a mild dilated and
distended segment with fecalization of contents. This is
followed by a somewhat gradual transition in caliber to fairly
collapsed distal small bowel. There are no findings to suggest
internal hernia. There is no mesenteric swelling, twisting, or
other changes.
There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. The
intra-abdominal aorta and its major branches are normal in
appearance.
PELVIS: The sigmoid colon and rectum are normal in appearance.
The distal ureters and bladder are normal. The uterus is
unremarkable. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy.
There is no free fluid in the pelvis.
BONE WINDOWS: No focal lytic or sclerotic osseous lesion
suspicious for
infection or malignancy is seen.
IMPRESSION: 1. Slight bowel wall thickening and enhancement in
the proximal jejunum followed by a segment of mildly dilated
bowel, which is fecalized. This is followed by a non-abrupt
transition zone and a region of collapsed small bowel. These
findings could be secondary to an inflammatory process such as
gastroenteritis or could represent intermittent, partial, or
resolving small
bowel obstruction, although dilatation is not striking.
Correlation with
physical findings and clinical presentation are recommended.
There are no findings to suggest internal hernia or mesenteric
involvement. 2. Multifocal chronic scar formation in the
bilateral kidneys.
KUB ___
FINDINGS: The bowel gas pattern is unremarkable. There is a
gas-filled
stomach as well as gas-filled large bowel, however, no evidence
of distention. There appears to be less of a fecal load compared

IMPRESSION: Unremarkable bowel gas pattern.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with diffuse peritoneal abdominal pain.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis with intravenous contrast
was performed. Multiplanar reformats were prepared and reviewed.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
ABDOMEN: The visualized lung bases are clear. There are no pleural
effusions.
The liver is homogeneous in texture with no focal lesions. There is no
biliary ductal dilatation. The gallbladder is normal. The spleen, pancreas,
and adrenal glands are normal. Multifocal chronic scar formation is seen in
the bilateral kidneys. The kidneys are otherwise unremarkable.
The stomach is normal in caliber and unremarkable. In the left upper
quadrant, a long segment of perhaps mildly thickened enhancing small bowel is
followed by a mild dilated and distended segment with fecalization of
contents. This is followed by a somewhat gradual transition in caliber to
fairly collapsed distal small bowel. There are no findings to suggest
internal hernia. There is no mesenteric swelling, twisting, or other changes.
There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. The intra-abdominal
aorta and its major branches are normal in appearance.
PELVIS: The sigmoid colon and rectum are normal in appearance. The distal
ureters and bladder are normal. The uterus is unremarkable. There is no
pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is no free fluid in the pelvis.
BONE WINDOWS: No focal lytic or sclerotic osseous lesion suspicious for
infection or malignancy is seen.
IMPRESSION:
1. Slight bowel wall thickening and enhancement in the proximal jejunum
followed by a segment of mildly dilated bowel, which is fecalized. This is
followed by a non-abrupt transition zone and a region of collapsed small
bowel. These findings could be secondary to an inflammatory process such as
gastroenteritis or could represent intermittent, partial, or resolving small
bowel obstruction, although dilatation is not striking. Correlation with
physical findings and clinical presentation are recommended. There are no
findings to suggest internal hernia or mesenteric involvement.
2. Multifocal chronic scar formation in the bilateral kidneys.
Radiology Report

constipation. You had a CT scan of your abdomen that showed
significant stool, but no other concerning process. You were
treated with laxatives and your symptoms improved.
You should continue to take laxatives at home as needed and make
sure to drink plenty of fluid and include fiber in your diet to
prevent this constipation from happening again in the future.
You spoke with the nutrition team to help with your diet. Please
discuss setting up a nutrition follow up appointment with your
doctor.
You appear to have a lot of stress in your life which may be
contributing to your abdominal pain and constipation. You felt
much better after talking to a social worker, so we recommend
that you see a social worker or other therapist after returning
home. Please follow up as scheduled with your new primary care
provider and note the changes to your medications on the next

TEE ___ (*preliminary*)
Conclusions
PRE BYPASS The left atrium is dilated. No spontaneous echo
contrast or thrombus is seen in the body of the left atrium/left
atrial appendage or the body of the right atrium/right atrial
appendage. 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 is severely
dilated. Overall left ventricular systolic function is
moderately to severely depressed with moderate global
hypokinesis and a suggestion of more severe hypokinesis in the
mid and distal anterior wall. (LVEF= 30 %). [Intrinsic left
ventricular systolic function is likely more depressed given the
severity of valvular regurgitation.] The riight ventricle
displays severe hypokinesis of the mid and distal free wall. The
ascending aorta is mildly dilated. There are simple atheroma in
the ascending aorta. There are simple atheroma in the aortic
arch. There are focal calcifications in the aortic arch. There
are simple atheroma in the descending thoracic aorta. A
bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis is present. The aortic valve
prosthesis leaflets appear to move normally. The transaortic
gradient is normal for this prosthesis. There is mild aortic
valve stenosis (valve area 1.9cm2) as is expected. Though
expected, no aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are moderately thickened. A mitral valve annuloplasty
ring is present. The annuloplasty ring has dehisced from the
anterior mitral annulus. Severe (4+) mitral regurgitation is
seen through the middle of the valve as well. The tricuspid
valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no pericardial
effusion. Dr. ___ was notified in person of the
results in the operating room at the time of the study.
Post Bypass
The left ventricu;ar function is 35-40%.The mechanical mitral
valve is well seated with no paravalvular leak.The transvalvular
gradients peak of 6mm Hg and mean of 3 mmHg The rest of the exam
is unchanged.

History of Present Illness:
___ male with DM type II and HTN presenting with
hypotension, anemia, LBBB in setting of elevated troponin, and
right upper lobe opacity. Pt reports that his biggest
underlying complaint for several months has been right shoulder
pain for which he has been seeing his PCP. He has undergone
steroid injections and physical therapy with minimal relief. He
has felt increasing short of breath with physical therapy
sessions. He also noted frequent diarrhea, general malaise, and
poor appetite for at least 3 weeks. He believes he has had a
twenty lb weight loss over the course of several months. He has
also had subjective fevers/chills, night sweats, and urinary
frequency. He went to see a gastroenterologist on ___ for
his diarrhea. There he was noted to be hyoptensive with BPs in
systolic ___ and Hct was 21. He was referred to ___
___. At the ED, guaiac was reportedly negative. He
believes he had a colonoscopy in ___ that showed one polyp and
has not noticed black or bloody stools. EKG revealed LBBB
without any prior for comparison. Calcium was elevated to 11.7
(albumin 2.7). WBC 19.2. Hct 21. Blood sugars ___. Troponin I
was elevated to 1.9. Cardiology was consulted who felt that
this was likely demand ischemia from anemia. Pt denies chest
pain. He also had urinary retention; foley was placed with 1L
urine output. He was given aspirin and transfused 1 unit PRBC
prior to transfer to ___ ED for further evaluation.
At ___ ED, initial vitals were 97 76 104/60 17 100%RA. CXR
revealed opacification in right upper lobe. He received
levofloxacin 750mg iv for possible CAP. He reports subjective
fevers/chills but denies cough. He recently quit smoking in
___ and states that he sometimes has phlegm. Cardiology was
again consulted who performed bedside TTE showing symmetric LVH
with EF approximately 50% and some suggestion of inferoseptal
and inferior wall hypokinesis. Cardiology felt that he likely
had stable CAD and diastolic dysfunction and may have developed
a demand-related NSTEMI in setting of anemia. He was also noted
to have a pericardial effusion with no evidence of tamponade.
From here, he was transferred to the medical intensive care
unit.
In the MICU, he received a CT Chest/Abd/Pelvis which revealed a
large mass in the RUL from hilum to chest wall and eroding into
the ___ and third ribs, concerning for malignancy. He received
another 1 ___ and was transfered to the floor.

___ by telephone at 1:05 a.m. on ___ at the time of discovery of these
findings.
Radiology Report
CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ man with right upper lobe lung mass with
shortness of breath and right shoulder pain and diarrhea.
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images from the thoracic outlet to the pubic
symphysis were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness with oral and 100 mL
Omnipaque intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were displayed
with 5-mm slice thickness.
CT CHEST: No nodules are seen in the thyroid gland. The thoracic aorta is
normal in caliber with mild atherosclerotic calcifications. The pulmonary
artery is borderline enlarged with the right main pulmonary artery measuring
2.8 cm, which may suggest underlying pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Contrast bolus timing is not optimized to evaluate for pulmonary embolism, but
there is no large central PE. No pathologically enlarged axillary or
mediastinal lymph nodes are identified. No left hilar lymph node enlargement.
The heart and pericardium are normal aside from mild coronary artery
calcifications. No pleural effusion is seen.
Within the right upper lobe, there is an 11.1 x 9.0 x 9.4 cm heterogeneously
enhancing mass with central hypodensity, which may represent necrosis. The
mass extends from the right superior hilum to the right chest wall with bony
destruction of the right second and third ribs. No right infrahilar lymph node
enlargement is seen. The right upper lobe bronchus is completely occluded by
the mass with occlusion of the right upper lobe pulmonary arteries. The right
middle and lower lobe bronchi are patent. Left airways are patent to the
subsegmental levels. There is left apical pleural parenchymal scarring. A
6-mm subpleural lesion in the right lower lobe (2:42) is seen. There is mild
emphysema bilaterally with mild dependent atelectasis at the left lung base.
CT ABDOMEN: The liver is normal without focal liver lesion identified. There
is no intra- or extra-hepatic bile duct dilation. The gallbladder is
distended without radiopaque stones. The spleen, pancreas, and right adrenal
gland are normal. A 1.8 x 2.0 cm left adrenal nodule (35 ___ is incompletely
characterized on this single phase study. The kidneys enhance symmetrically
and excrete contrast promptly without hydronephrosis. A 1.8-cm hypodensity in
the right renal superior pole (2:69) has intermediate density (22HU). A 4.6 x
4.2 cm simple cyst is seen in the left renal inferior pole.
The small and large bowel are normal in course and caliber without
obstruction. There is no free air. The aorta is of normal caliber throughout
with dense atherosclerotic calcifications at its inferior portion extending
into the iliac arteries. The main portal vein, splenic vein, and SMV are
patent. No pathologically enlarged mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes
are identified. Diffuse mesenteric haziness with subcutaneous edema are likely
anasarca.
CT PELVIS: The rectum is normal. Diverticula are seen in the sigmoid colon
without inflammatory changes. The bladder is partially decompressed with a
Foley catheter in place with a thick wall. A bladder diverticulum with air is
seen at the right aspect of the bladder (2:120). The prostate is enlarged with
protrusion of the median lobe into the bladder base and prostatic
calcifications. There is no free fluid and no pelvic or inguinal
lymphadenopathy.
BONE WINDOWS: Osseous destruction of the right second and third ribs is due
to the large right upper lobe cancer. No other lesion suspicious for
infection or malignancy is seen. No definite evidence of spinal metastases as
clinically queried. The visualized portion of the right shoulder is
unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large right upper lobe mass extending from the right hilum to the right
chest wall with destructive involvement of the second and third right ribs.
The right upper lobe bronchus is completely occluded.
2. 6 mm subpleural nodule in the right lower lobe may represent a satellite
lesion. Attention on follow up.
3. Indeterminate left adrenal nodule, incompletely characterized on this
study. This may represent a metastatic lesion. If no prior imaging is
available characterizing this lesion, this could be further evaluated by
adrenal protocol CT or MRI if clinically indicated.
4. No acute process in the abdomen or pelvis to explain patient's chronic
diarrhea.
5. 1.8-cm right renal superior pole hypodensity with intermediate density
(22HU) could be further evaluated by renal ultrasound.
6. Mild emphysema. Mild pulmonary artery enlargement suggests underlying
pulmonary arterial hypertension.
7. Prostatic enlargement with circumferential bladder wall thickening
suggests outflow obstruction.
8. No definite evidence of spinal metastases as clinically queried, although
MRI is more sensitive.
9. The imaged portion of the right shoulder is unremarkable.

STUDY: Skeletal survey ___.
CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ male with large lung mass, likely malignant.
Patient has hypercalcemia and has lytic lesions.
FINDINGS: Comparison is made to the CT torso study performed on the same day.
LATERAL SKULL: There are no focal lytic or blastic lesions.
THORACIC/LUMBAR SPINE: There is increased opacity involving the right upper
chest consistent with known large lung lesion. Scalloping of the fourth rib
on the right side is likely related to the underlying mass. There are no
compression deformities of the thoracic vertebral bodies. The intervertebral
disc spaces are preserved. The cervical spine demonstrates degenerative
changes with loss of intervertebral disc height and spurring worse at C4-C5.
Imaging of the lumbar spine demonstrates five non-rib-bearing lumbar-type
vertebral bodies. There is contrast material seen within the colon consistent
with the recent CT. No large destructive lesions are seen within the
vertebral bodies. There are degenerative changes with loss of intervertebral
disc height at L5/S1.
PELVIS AND FEMURS: Sacroiliac joints are within normal limits. There are
mild-to-moderate degenerative changes of both hip joints with spur in the
superolateral acetabula. Vascular calcifications are seen bilaterally.

ULTRASOUND INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURE DATED ___
INDICATION: ___ man with right upper lobe mass, anemia, and
hypercalcemia. Biopsy of lung mass in the right upper lobe.
COMPARISON: Comparison is made to previous CT dated ___.
PHYSICIANS: Dr. ___ and Dr. ___ performed the
procedure. Dr. ___ attending radiologist, was present throughout the
procedure.
SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of
fentanyl 25 mcg and Versed 0.5 mg throughout the total intraservice time of 20
minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously
monitored.
PROCEDURE: Following a detailed discussion of the risks, benefits, and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained. The
patient was transported to the ultrasound suite and placed in a supine
position. Initial preprocedure ultrasound was performed for purposes of
lesion localization and skin point localization prior to biopsy. An
appropriate skin point was obtained within the right axilla. A preprocedural
timeout was performed using unique patient identifiers as per ___ protocol.
The skin overlying the right axilla was prepped and draped in usual sterile
fashion. Approximately 6 mL of 1% lidocaine was infiltrated into the skin,
subcutaneous tissues, and to the lesion for local anesthesia. An 18-gauge
core biopsy needle was advanced into the lesion and two 18-gauge core biopsy
samples were obtained. On-site cytology confirmed sample adequacy. The
patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate complications.
The patient was transferred back to the floor in stable condition. POE orders
were entered online.

History of Present Illness:
Hospital Medicine Admission Note
Time patient seen and examined today: 930 AM
CC: Left groin and leg pain
HPI(4): Ms. ___ is a ___ female with a past medical
history of chronic compression fractures presents with left
groin
and leg pain ___ the setting of increasingly frequent falls.
Patient is a vague historian and blends a lot of information,
often tangential to old history. However, she is generally
oriented and aware of HPI. Husband at bedside provides a more
clear history and timeline.
Patient has had increasing falls. Her acute pain started about 1
week ago after sliding off the side of her bed. She fell
directly
on her buttock and fell to the side. She has had other falls and
has hit her head. No reports of loss of consciousness. She has
no
prodrome to these episodes and seems like these are mechanical.
She specifically denies acute chest pain, palpitations,
shortness
of breath, diaphoresis, or abdominal pain. The episode 1 week
ago
off her bed, she attributes to wearing slippery shorts. Patient
is on chronic fentanyl and hydromorphone for back pain, but her
pain was so severe she could not ambulate (or move for that
matter) and husband brought her to the hospital. Pain has been
increasing over the last few days. Patient's pain started as
moderate and ___ the left groin. Now she describes it as severe
sharp pain, radiating all the way to the foot on the left side.
She has some numbness and tingling of the toes on the left. She
has chronic intermittent urinary incontinence without change.
The patient went to ___ ER and reportedly had
imaging
done. She reports they sent her home with outpatient follow up
with her primary orthopedic surgeon.
The patient has chronic intermittent shortness of breath and
cough related to tracheobronchomalacia and extensive surgical
history. She also endorses recent URI (2 weeks ago) treated with
5 days of levofloxacin. She believes she had a UTI at that time.
She endorses recurrent UTI. She states she is completing a
complicated vaginal yeast infection with a 3rd dose (of 3)
fluconazole tomorrow morning.
ROS: Pertinent positives and negatives as noted ___ the HPI. All
other systems were reviewed and are negative.

TTE
CONCLUSION:
The left atrial volume index is normal. There is mild symmetric
left ventricular hypertrophy with a normal
cavity size. There is mild regional left ventricular systolic
dysfunction with apical akinesis and severe
hypokinesis of the distal septum and anterior walls (see
schematic) and preserved/normal contractility of the
remaining segments. The apex is aneurysmal with a moderate 1.0cm
mobile left ventricular THROMBUS.
Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal. The
visually estimated left ventricular ejection
fraction is 45%. Left ventricular cardiac index is low normal
(2.0-2.5 L/min/m2). There is no resting left
ventricular outflow tract gradient. Tissue Doppler suggests a
normal left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP less
than 12mmHg). Normal right ventricular cavity size 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. The aortic arch diameter is normal
with a normal descending aorta diameter. The
aortic valve leaflets (?#) appear structurally normal. There is
no aortic valve stenosis. There is no aortic
regurgitation. The mitral valve leaflets appear structurally
normal with no mitral valve prolapse. There is trivial
mitral regurgitation. The pulmonic valve leaflets are not well
seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets appear
structurally normal. There is physiologic tricuspid
regurgitation. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic
pressure is borderline elevated. There is a trivial pericardial
effusion.
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with apical
akinesis/aneurysm and THROMBUS. No valvular pathology or
pathologic flow identified. Borderline
elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
Compared with the prior TTE (images reviewed) of ___ , an
apical thrombus is now seen (prior
study was without echo contrast) and the estimated pulmonary
artery systolic pressure is now lower.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Based on the echocardiographic findings
and ___ ACC/AHA recommendations,
antibiotic prophylaxis is NOT recommended.

COMPARISON: Reference lumbar spine dated ___.
FINDINGS:
For the purposes of numbering, the lowest rib bearing vertebral body was
designated the T12 level. Following this convention, the L1 vertebral body
demonstrates left sided rudimentary rib (see 02:34), and there is transitional
anatomy with partial lumbarization of S1 (602:39).
There is levoscoliosis of the lumbar spine. 3 mm retrolisthesis of L1 on L2
is unchanged. The visualized osseous structures are osteopenic.There is no
prevertebral soft tissue swelling. No definite acute fractures are identified.
Vertebral augmentation cement is re-demonstrated in T12, L1 and L4 in a
similar distribution. Height loss of T12 and L1 is similar. Retropulsion of
T12 and L1 posterior endplates into the canal, as well as some epidural cement
leakage is also unchanged (02:35). There is mild canal narrowing at L1 due to
the cement and retropulsion.
Allowing for difference in technique, grossly stable multilevel lumbar
spondylosis is noted, including loss of intervertebral disc height, vacuum
disc phenomena, disc bulges, disc osteophytes, and facet joint hypertrophy.
There is at least moderate neural foraminal narrowing on the left at L5-S1 due
to osteophytes. Overall, degenerative changes are similar to ___.
OTHER:
Subpleural fibrotic changes are noted at both lung bases. Bilateral renal
cysts are partially imaged. Severe aortoiliac calcification is present.
Within the limits of this noncontrast study there is no paravertebral or
paraspinal mass identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. Study limited by diffuse osteopenia.
2. Transitional anatomy as described.
3. Within limits of study, no acute fracture or traumatic subluxation is
identified.
4. Grossly stable multilevel vertebral augmentation, and a similar
distribution to the study of ___, including some epidural cement
at L1.
5. T12 and L1 stable chronic compression deformities.
6. Grossly stable multilevel degenerative changes are similar to ___ prior
exam, allowing for difference in technique. Please note that lumbar spine MRI
is more sensitive for the evaluation of vertebral canal neural foraminal
narrowing.
7. Additional findings as described.

INDICATION: ___ year old woman with tracheobronchomalacia, fall, found to have
siadh and pulmonary nodules// assess nodules, r/o cancer
TECHNIQUE: MDCT of the chest was obtained from thoracic inlet to upper
abdomen. Axial images were reviewed in conjunction with coronal and sagittal
reformats
COMPARISON: ___
FINDINGS:
Pulmonary artery is mildly dilated, 3.3 cm. Aorta is normal in diameter.
Coronary calcifications are extensive. There is left ventricular aneurysm
containing small, 11 x 8 x 15 mm thrombus, series 5, image 52. It appearance
might be concerning for acute on chronic etiology.
Multiple calcified mediastinal and noncalcified mediastinal and hilar lymph
nodes are unchanged might represent sarcoidosis as previously suggested.
Esophagus is patulous, similar or progressed since previous examination.
Airways are patent to the subsegmental level bilaterally. Image portion of
the upper abdomen demonstrate pneumobilia, unchanged as well as dilatation of
the pancreatic duct, series 2, image 55, reason unclear. Previously nodular
appearance of the findings in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe
now has a air filled appearance and most likely represent a cystic
bronchiectasis and substantially less likely large cavitated nodule. The
overall ___ are 3 x 2 cm, series 4, image 91. Similar appearance is
also noted in the basal lateral segment of the right lower lobe (4:165) and
posterior segment of the left lower lobe (4:131), most likely representing
similar etiology.
Multiple pulmonary nodules are demonstrated scattered throughout the lungs,
the majority of them is stable but some are new, series 4, image 165, series
4, image 157..
Multiple liver renal cysts are bilateral.
There are no lytic or sclerotic lesions worrisome for infection or neoplasm.

basal lateral segment of the right lower lobe and posterior segment of the
left lower lobe, most likely representing currently air filled bronchiectasis,
cystic and less likely cavitated nodules
Multiple pre-existing and some new pulmonary nodules in conjunction with
mediastinal calcified lymphadenopathy might represent either ongoing
sarcoidosis or combination of sarcoidosis in a typical mycobacteria.
Dilated biliary and pancreatic ducts, reason unclear, correlation with MRCP is
to be considered.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear ___ was a pleasure caring for you.
You were hospitalized with leg pain after your fall. There is
thankfully no fracture and your pain is slowly improving.
___ addition, you were found to have low sodium due to a
condition called "SIADH" or syndrome of inappropriate
antidiuretic hormone. SIADH is likely caused by your pain and
maybe your lung issues. This improved with fluid restriction,
and we recommend you continue to limit yourself to 1.5L of free
water daily. This will hopefully be temporary, but your doctors
___ when you can stop restricting.
We also found that you had lesions ___ your lungs ("cavitary
lesions"), the cause of which is not completely clear but which
may be from infection of mycobacteria. Tests are pending and you
will follow up with the lung doctors here to decide what if any
management will be necessary.
We also found you had a clot ___ your heart with an aneurysm ___
the heart. For this we started you on a blood thinner. You are
currently taking 2 blood thinners (Lovenox injections and
warfarin) until the warfarin kicks ___, after which you will stop
taking the Lovenox and just take the warfarin. You will be on
the warfarin for at least 3 months and will have follow up with
your cardiologist to consider what if any further
diagnosis/management will be necessary.
We found that you had slight widening of some of the biliary
tubes around your liver. This is likely not a problem, but at
some point ___ the near future you will need to have a test
called an "MRCP". We have informed your doctors about this.
We have increased some of your pain and anxiety medications, but
as we discussed, these increase your risk of fall and other
adverse outcomes, so we recommend you work with your doctors to
reduce these sedating medications as soon as able. |

characterize on this examination. There is no hydronephrosis. There is no
nephrolithiasis. Symmetric perinephric stranding is seen.
GASTROINTESTINAL: The stomach is unremarkable. Several loops of prominent
small bowel are seen in the mid and lower abdomen, reaching up to 2.7 cm, not
significantly different from the prior examination. These contain air-fluid
levels. Contrast is seen flowing from the more prominent loops into more
collapsed loops, making high-grade obstruction unlikely. Scattered colonic
diverticular noted without evidence of acute diverticulitis. The rectum is
unremarkable. The appendix is not definitively visualized.
PELVIS: The urinary bladder is distended. There is no free fluid in the
pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The reproductive organs are unremarkable.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT L-SPINE W/ CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old man with recent L3-L5 laminectomy, p/w fever, bloody
drainage at site, possible new neurologic deficits. Has pacemaker from ___
not MRI compatible. // Is there evidence of infection? epidural abscess?
epidural hematoma?
TECHNIQUE: CT of the lumbar spine was performed after the administration of
intravenous contrast. Sagittal and coronal reconstructions were prepared.
DOSE: DLP 1020.40 mGycm; CTDI 31.30mGy
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
The bones are diffusely demineralized. The patient has had a prior L3-5
laminectomy. There is a 3.1 x 1.6 cm fluid collection in the laminectomy site
between the L2 and L3 spinous processes, likely postoperative (501:31). More
inferiorly in the surgical bed is a locule of air that is also may be
postsurgical (3:65). The volume of air is somewhat more than expected this
long after the procedure, unless there has been further manipulation in the
surgical site, or a drain was more recently removed. There is a fracture with
callus formation of the L3 spinous process (02:48). The vertebral bodies are
normal in height and alignment.
There are mild disc bulges at L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1. Obscuration of the
epidural fat may simply be post-operative. The thecal sac is thickened and
the right neural foraminal fat is not visible at L4-5 and L5-S1.
IMPRESSION:
1. Subcutaneous fluid collection at L2-3 and locules of air may be
post-operative as discussed above, but correlate with recent procedures. CT
has low sensitivity for infection. Within this limitation, there are no
findings suggesting infection.
2. Healing fracture of the L3 spinous process.

EXAMINATION: CT C-spine with contrast.
INDICATION: ___ year old man with recent L3-L5 laminectomy, p/w fever, bloody
drainage at site, possible new neurologic deficits. Has pacemaker from ___
not MRI compatible. Planning on 8am CT with pre-medication tonight // Is
there evidence of infection? epidural abscess? epidural hematoma? Lumbar
laminectomy with fever and drainage at surgical site. New neurologic defects.
Patient cannot have an MRI.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT data were acquired through the cervical spine with
intravenous contrast. Data were reconstructed using bone and soft tissue
algorithms and images were displayed in multiple planes.
DOSE: DLP: 762.34 mGy-cm
CTDIvol: 32.65 mGy
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There is no cervical spine fracture or malalignment. Evaluation of the
intrathecal structures is limited. Vertebral body and disc heights are
preserved at all levels. However, the bones are diffusely demineralized.
There is no spinal canal narrowing. Pre and paravertebral soft tissues are
normal. Visualized portions of the aerodigestive tract are patent. The
visualized lung apices are clear. Note is made of an ossified ligamentum
flavum in the upper thoracic spine. Visualized portions of the skull base
show no abnormalities. The major cervical neck vessels are patent. A stent is
noted within the left internal carotid artery.
IMPRESSION:
No cervical spine fracture or malalignment
NOTIFICATION: No fracture or visible fluid collection in the cervical spine.

not MRI compatible. Planning on 8am CT with pre-medication tonight // Is
there evidence of infection? epidural abscess? epidural hematoma? Recent
laminectomy with fever and inability to have an MRI.
TECHNIQUE: CT of the thoracic spine was performed after the administration of
IV contrast. Sagittal and coronal reconstructions were prepared.
DOSE: DLP 1198.94 mGy-cm; CTDI 31.47mGy
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
The thoracic vertebral bodies are demineralized, but normal in height and
alignment. Evaluation of the intrathecal contents is limited with CT. There is
an old fracture of the posterior left third rib (2:33). There is no high-grade
canal stenosis . The visualized lung fields and soft tissues are noteworthy
only for an aortic valve replacement and pacer leads.
IMPRESSION:
1. No findings in the thoracic spine to explain patient's fever.
2. Old left posterior 3rd rib fracture.

overlying the access site.
MEDICATIONS: Lidocaine.
CONTRAST: 0 ml of Optiray contrast.
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 00:22 min, 7 mGy
PROCEDURE: 1. Single lumen PICC placement through the basilic vein on the
right.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Using sterile technique and local anesthesia, the basilic
vein on the right was punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a
micropuncture set. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before
intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. A peel-away sheath was then
placed over a guidewire. The guidewire was then advanced into the superior
vena cava using fluoroscopic guidance. A single lumen PIC line measuring 39 cm
in length was then placed through the peel-away sheath with its tip positioned
in the distal 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.
FINDINGS:
1. The accessed vein was patent and compressible.
2. Basilicvein approach single lumen right PICC with tip in the distal SVC.
IMPRESSION:
Successful placement of a right 39 cm basilic approach single lumen PICC with
tip in the distal SVC. The line is ready to use.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP)
INDICATION: ___ year old man with CHF, dyspnea after blood transfusion //
Evaluate for edema, worsening pleural effusion
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
All there is alveolar opacity throughout much of the right lung, most
pronounced in the mid and lower zones, with apparent air bronchograms and
maturation of a right costophrenic angle and without aeration of right
hemidiaphragm and its extreme lateral edge. There is increased retrocardiac
density, with obscuration left hemidiaphragm and probable air bronchograms,
consistent with left lower lobe collapse and consolidation. There is relative
sparing of the left upper and mid zones. Mild upper zone redistribution is
noted on the left.
IMPRESSION:
Opacities, which are seen predominantly in the right mid and lower zones and,
densely, in the left lower lobe. While this could represent asymmetric
pulmonary edema, the possibility of a superimposed infectious consolidation
cannot be excluded.
Upper zone redistribution on the left is noted. On the right, the vessels are
obscured by surrounding opacities.
Possible small bilateral pleural effusions.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP)
INDICATION: ___ year old man with cirrhosis, GI bleed, edema, complaining of
chest pain // volume overload
COMPARISON: Chest x-ray examination from ___
FINDINGS:
Again seen is cardiomegaly as well as prominence of the superior mediastinum.
This appears more pronounced than on the prior examination, but is also
accentuated by lordotic positioning.
There is upper zone redistribution with alveolar opacities at both lung bases,
including retrocardiac opacity that obscures the left hemidiaphragm. A tiny
left effusion would be difficult to exclude. The degree of opacity at the
right base is very slightly improved.
IMPRESSION:
Cardiomediastinal silhouette appears larger, but is likely accentuated by
lordotic positioning.
Findings compatible with pulmonary edema, including bibasilar alveolar
opacities. Possible minimal interval improvement at the right base. As
before, the presence of superimposed infectious consolidation at the lung

FINDINGS:
Right PICC terminates in the region of the the cavoatrial junction, possibly
overlying the upper right atrium.
Bibasilar opacities are similar to before which may reflect atelectasis,
however pneumonia is difficult to exclude. There is near complete obscuration
of the left hemidiaphragm. Small left pleural effusion is similar to before.
There is no large right pleural effusion. There is no pneumothorax. Lung
slightly volume is low the film is obtained in lordotic position. The cardiac
silhouette is probably enlarged, but somewhat exaggerated by these technical
factors. Mildly enlarged cardiac silhouette is exaggerated by the low lung
volumes.
There is mild upper zone redistribution and mild vascular plethora improved

11. Post TIPS right heart catheterization with pressure measurements (per
study protocol)
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed
supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___
protocol. The neck and abdomen were prepped and draped in the usual sterile
fashion.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right internal jugular vein
was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Images of
ultrasound access were stored on PACS. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed
into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. A small incision was made
at the needle entry site. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath.
The Nitinol wire was removed and a ___ wire was advanced distally into
the IVC.
The micropuncture sheath was then removed and a TIPS sheath was advanced over
the wire into the right atrium. The wire was removed and a ___ catheter
was advanced and used to perform a pre TIPS right heart catheterization per
study protocol with pressure measurements obtained of the right atrium, right
ventricle, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary artery wedge pressure, as well as
cardiac output.
Next, the ___ catheter was removed, and the right hepatic vein was
selected using a combination of the ___ wire and an MPA catheter.
Appropriate position was confirmed with contrast injection and fluoroscopy in
AP and lateral views. Following this, the TIPS cannula was advanced over the
wire into the right hepatic vein, and the wire was exchanged for ___
needle. Several passes were made with the ___ needle anteriorly to
attempt selection of the right portal vein from the right hepatic vein. These
were unsuccessful. The TIPS cannula was repositioned into the middle hepatic
vein, the angled sheath was turned posteriorly, and the needle was then
advanced through liver parenchyma and the needle was withdrawn over its
sheath. The sheath was slowly withdrawn while gentle suction was applied.
Upon blood return, injection of contrast confirmed intraportal position and a
Glidewire was introduced into the catheter to pass into the portal vein. The
glidewire were initially passed into the intrahepatic portal veins, but was
directed towards the splenic vein using ___ 1 glide cath. The wire was
removed and injection of contrast confirmed intra portal position. An Amplatz
was advanced into the splenic vein and the TIPS sheath was advanced into the
portal vein.
A straight flush catheter was advanced into the proximal splenic vein,
pressure measurement was obtained, and a portal venogram was performed,
findings below. Based on results of this portal venogram, decision was made
to perform variceal sclerosis and embolization as well as placement of a TIPS.
An angled glidecath was advanced into the posterior gastric vein over a
Glidewire. Injection of contrast confirmed position. The glide cath was
exchanged over ___ wire for an occlusion balloon, which was inflated in
the posterior gastric vein. A venogram was performed of the posterior gastric
vein, findings below. Sclerosis of the posterior gastric vein and
gastroesophageal varices was performed using 10 cc STS foam (4 cc 3% STS, 2 cc
Lipiodol, 4 cc air mixture), which was allowed to indwell for 10 min.
Following this, venogram of the posterior gastric vein demonstrated reduced
but persistent filling of the gastroesophageal varices. Additional sclerosis
was performed using 10 cc STS foam (2:1:3 3% STS : Lipiodol : air). Following
this, coil embolization was performed of the posterior gastric vein using four
8 mm x 3 cm Hilal coils and two 8 mm x 5 cm Hilal coil. Upon withdrawal of
the occlusion balloon, migration of one of the 8 mm x 5 cm Hilal coils was
noted. This coil was successfully retrieved using a 7 ___ Ensnare device.
Next, a repeat portal venogram was performed from the proximal splenic vein,
demonstrating persistent patency of the posterior gastric vein. The occlusion
balloon was readvanced over a wire into the posterior gastric vein and further
sclerosis was performed using 10 cc of ethanol, which was allowed to indwell
for 10 min. Following this, the occlusion balloon was exchanged for a ___ Fr
RDC guidecath, which was advanced over ___ wire into the posterior gastric
vein, and embolization was performed of the posterior gastric vein using a 12
mm Amplatzer plug.
Next, attention was turned to embolization of the left gastric vein. The
___ wire was advanced into the left gastric vein using the RDC guidecath,
which was exchanged for an occlusion balloon. A venogram was performed of the
left gastric vein, findings below. The balloon was inflated and sclerosis was
performed of the left gastric vein using ethanol. Following this, the
occlusion balloon was exchanged for an RDC guidecath and embolization of the
left gastric vein was performed using a 10 mm Amplatzer plug.
Next, attention was turned to placement of a TIPS stent. An Amplatz wire was
advanced into the proximal splenic vein. The TIPS sheath was advanced using
its dilator into the main portal vein. A 10 mm x 6 cm x 2 cm Viatorr stent
was advanced into appropriate position and deployed. Following stent
deployment, the stent was dilated using a 7 mm balloon.
The straight flush catheter was advanced over the wire into the proximal
splenic vein and the wire was removed. Repeat proximal splenic vein and right
atrium pressure measurements were performed. Portal venograms were then
performed from the proximal splenic vein and the mid splenic vein, findings
below. The TIPS stent was extended towards hepatic confluence using a 12 mm x
4 cm Luminex stent, which was then dilated using a 7 mm balloon.
The wire was removed and a Swan-Ganz catheter was advanced and used to perform
a post TIPS right heart catheterization per study protocol with pressure
measurements obtained of the right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery,
and pulmonary artery wedge pressure, as well as cardiac output.
The sheath was then removed from the right internal jugular vein site and
pressure held for 10 minutes to achieve hemostasis. Sterile dressings were
applied.
The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate
post-procedure complications. The patient was transferred to the ICU in stable
condition.
FINDINGS:
1. Pre-TIPS right atrial pressure of 19 mmHg and portal pressure measurement
of 33 mmHg, resulting in portosystemic gradient of 14 mmHg.
2. Pre-TIPS right heart catheterization with cardiac output of 8.4 and
pressures as follows: Right atrium 19, right ventricle 24, pulmonary artery
31, pulmonary artery wedge pressure 22.
3. Initial portal venogram demonstrating patent portal vasculature with
retrograde filling of the coronary vein, posterior gastric vein, and inferior
mesenteric vein. Massive gastroesophageal varices are seen to be supplied by
the coronary vein and posterior gastric vein. Portosystemic shunting is noted
via inferior phrenic veins and the left gonadal vein.
4. Sclerosis and embolization performed of the posterior gastric vein and
coronary vein.
5. Successful creation of an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt using 10 mm x 6
mm x 2 cm Viatorr stent and 12 mm x 4 cm Luminex stent, both underdilated to 7
mm.
6. Post-TIPS portal venogram showing significantly decreased filling of
gastroesophageal varices with complete cessation of flow in the left gastric
vein and near complete cessation of flow in the posterior gastric vein.
Patent TIPS stent with wall to wall flow.
7. Post TIPS right atrial pressure of 26 and portal pressure of 32, resulting
in a portosystemic gradient of 6 mmHg.
8. Post TIPS right heart catheterization with cardiac output of 10 and
pressures as follows: Right atrium 19, right ventricle 30, pulmonary artery
35, pulmonary wedge pressure 27 .
IMPRESSION:
Successful right internal jugular access with transjugular intrahepatic
portosystemic shunt placement and variceal sclerosis/embolization with
decrease in porto-systemic pressure gradient from 14 mmHg to 6 mmHg.

WHY WERE YOU ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL?
- You were admitted to ___ because you were feeling fatigued
and short of breath when you laid flat on your back.
WHAT WAS DONE FOR YOU IN THE HOSPITAL?
- You were treated with a medicine called Lasix, which was given
to you through your vein to help remove the extra fluid in your
body that was making it hard for you to breath. You were then
switched to an oral version of Lasix that you should take every
day to prevent more fluid from building up.
- You were started on a new medicine called spironolactone that
will protect your heart. You will take a 12.5mg tablet of this
medicine once a day. Your home lisinopril 5mg daily was
increased to 10mg daily.
- You were having some abdominal pain, so you had an ultrasound
of your stomach that showed you had gallstones. There is nothing
to do for this right now.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN YOU GO HOME?
- You should continue taking all your medicines, as prescribed.
As we discussed, you should consider taking your Lasix pill in
the morning so you won't have to get up several times in the
middle of the night to urinate.
- You should follow up with your primary care doctor and
cardiologist.
- You should weigh yourself every morning using the same scale
and call your cardiologist if your weight increases by more than
3 lbs. in one day or 5lbs. in two days. Your discharge weight
is: 199.96 lb.
- You should drink less than 2 liters of fluid per day and avoid
eating salty foods, such as deli meats and canned soups. You
should consume less than 2 grams of salt per day.
- You should stop smoking. This is one of the most important
things you can do to protect your heart from further damage.
It was a pleasure taking care of you, and we wish you all the
best!

level of pain: 2
level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___. You came in with
7 days of constipation, loss of appetite, generalized weakness,
cough, and sudden onset of chest pain. While ___ were here, we
ran some tests including EKG, Troponins, and chest X-ray in
order to investigate cardiac causes of your pain. These tests
were all negative. You were found to have some upper right
quadrant abdominal pain on exam and some of your liver enzymes
associated with gallbladder injury were elevated. We did several
studies to investigate this further including an ultrasound and
a HIDA scan. The ultrasound showed that the gallbladder was
distended, there were gallstones and some biliary sludge
present, as well as gallbladder wall thickening. The HIDA scan
showed normal empting of the gallbladder. We had the surgical
team examine you to determine if emergent surgery was necessary.
Because you continued to have an elevated white blood cell
count and pain, you were taken to the operating room where you
had your gallbladder removed. You are slowly recovering from
your surgery and you are preparing for discharge home with the
following instructions:
Do not drive until you have stopped taking pain medicine and
feel you could respond in an emergency.
You may climb stairs.
You may go outside, but avoid traveling long distances until you
see your surgeon at your next visit.
Don't lift more than ___ lbs for 6 weeks. (This is about the
weight of a briefcase or a bag of groceries.) This applies to
lifting children, but they may sit on your lap.)
You may start some light exercise when you feel comfortable.
You will need to stay out of bathtubs or swimming pools for a
time while your incision is healing. Ask your doctor when you
can resume tub baths or swimming.
Heavy exercise may be started after 6 weeks, but use common
sense and go slowly at first.
You may resume sexual activity unless your doctor has told you
otherwise.
HOW YOU MAY FEEL:
You may feel weak or "washed out" for 6 weeks. You might want to
nap often. Simple tasks may exhaust you.
You may have a sore throat because of a tube that was in your
throat during surgery.
You might have trouble concentrating or difficulty sleeping. You
might feel somewhat depressed.
You could have a poor appetite for a while. Food may seem
unappealing.
All of these feelings and reactions are normal and should go
away in a short time. If they do not, tell your surgeon.
YOUR INCISION:
Your incision may be slightly red aroudn the stitches or
staples. This is normal.
You may gently wash away dried material around your incision.
Do not remove steri-strips for 2 weeks. (These are the thin
paper strips that might be on your incision.) But if they fall
off before that that's okay).
It is normal to feel a firm ridge along the incision. This will
go away.
Avoid direct sun exposure to the incision area.
Do not use any ointments on the incision unless you were told
otherwise.
You may see a small amount of clear or light red fluid staining
your dressing r clothes. If the staining is severe, please call
your surgeon.
You may shower. As noted above, ask your doctor when you may
resume tub baths or swimming.
Ove the next ___ months, your incision will fade and become
less prominent.
YOUR BOWELS:
Constipation is a common side effect of medicine such as
Percocet or codeine. If needed, you may take a stool softener
(such as Colace, one capsule) or gentle laxative (such as milk
of magnesia, 1 tbs) twice a day. You can get both of these
medicines without a prescription.
If you go 48 hours without a bowel movement, or have pain moving
the bowels, call your surgeon.
After some operations, diarrhea can occur. If you get diarrhea,
don't take anti-diarrhea medicines. Drink plenty of fluitds and
see if it goes away. If it does not go away, or is severe and
you feel ill, please call your surgeon.
PAIN MANAGEMENT:
It is normal to feel some discomfort/pain following abdominal
surgery. This pain is often described as "soreness".
Your pain should get better day by day. If you find the pain is
getting worse instead of better, please contact your surgeon.
You will receive a prescription from your surgeon for pain
medicine to take by mouth. It is important to take this medicine
as directied. Do not take it more frequently than prescribed. Do
not take more medicine at one time than prescribed.
Your pain medicine will work better if you take it before your
pain gets too severe.
Talk with your surgeon about how long you will need to take
prescription pain medicine. Please don't take any other pain
medicine, including non-prescription pain medicine, unless your
surgeon has said its okay.
IF you are experiencing no pain, it is okay to skip a dose of
pain medicine.
Remember to use your "cough pillow" for splinting when you cough
or when you are doing your deep breathing exercises.
If you experience any of the folloiwng, please contact your
surgeon:
- sharp pain or any severe pain that lasts several hours
- pain that is getting worse over time
- pain accompanied by fever of more than 101
- a drastic change in nature or quality of your pain
MEDICATIONS:
Take all the medicines you were on before the operation just as
you did before, unless you have been told differently.
In some cases you will have a prescription for antibiotics or
other medication.
If you have any questions about what medicine to take or not to
take, please call your surgeon.
DANGER SIGNS:
Please call your surgeon if you develop:
- worsening abdominal pain
- sharp or severe pain that lasts several hours
- temperature of 101 degrees or higher
- severe diarrhea
- vomiting
- redness around the incision that is spreading
- increased swelling around the incision
- excessive bruising around the incision
- cloudy fluid coming from the wound
- bright red blood or foul smelling discharge coming from the
wound
- an increase in drainage from the wound |

IMAGING
=======
MRI BRAIN (___)
Axial T2 and MP-RAGE sequences are suboptimal secondary to
patient motion.
There is no intra or extra-axial mass, acute hemorrhage or
infarct. No
abnormal enhancement is noted. Sulci, ventricles and cisterns
are within
expected limits for the patient's age. The dural venous sinuses
are patent.
The major intracranial flow voids are preserved.
Although the subtle abnormalities may not be detected secondary
to patient
motion artifact, there is no clear evidence of gray matter
heterotopia and the
bilateral mesial temporal cortices are unremarkable.
Air-fluid level is seen in the right maxillary sinus. Partial
opacification of
the ethmoid air cells is noted. The orbits are unremarkable. The
mastoid air
cells are essentially clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. The examination is suboptimal secondary to patient motion
artifact.
2. Allowing for this limitation, there is no evidence of
intracranial mass,
acute hemorrhage or infarct.
3. No gross evidence of gray matter heterotopia or abnormalities
of the mesial
temporal cortex.
4. If remains high clinical concern, dedicated seizure protocol
MRI with
contrast may be performed.
5. Air-fluid level in the right maxillary sinus. This may be
seen in acute
inflammatory process such as acute sinusitis. Clinical
correlation is
recommended.
CT FACIAL BONES ___ @ ___
- CT head was without pathology
- CT facial bones showed "Nondisplaced fractures of the right
orbital floor. Right maxillary wall fractures and hematoma
within the right maxillary sinus"
EEG (___)
===
ABNORMALITY #1: During hyperventilation mild generalized theta
slowing is seen
but this resolves within 90 seconds post-HV.
BACKGROUND: Waking background is characterized by a 10 Hz
posterior dominant
rhythm, which attenuates symmetrically with eye opening.
HYPERVENTILATION: See Abnormality #1.
INTERMITTENT PHOTIC STIMULATION: Stepped photic stimulation is
not performed.
SLEEP: During drowsiness, the background slows to central theta
activity,
frontal beta activity becomes more prominent, and the alpha
rhythm attenuates
and becomes intermittent. There is no evidence of stage 2 sleep.
CARDIAC MONITOR: A single EKG channel shows a generally regular
rhythm with an
average rate of 60-70 bpm.
IMPRESSION: This is a mildly abnormal awake and drowsy EEG given
mild
generalized slowing during hyperventilation, which is a
nonspecific finding.
There are no epileptiform discharges or electrographic seizures.

___ Cardiac Echo
The estimated right atrial pressure is ___ mmHg. 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%). There is considerable
beat-to-beat variability of the left ventricular ejection
fraction due to an irregular rhythm/premature beats. Images were
not amenable to quantitatively assess LV function. Right
ventricular function is normal. The aortic valve is not well
seen. There is no aortic valve stenosis. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. The pulmonary artery systolic
pressure could not be determined. There is a small to moderate
sized pericardial effusion (1.1-1.3 cm adjacent to the right
heart chambers). There are no echocardiographic signs of
tamponade (no chamber collapse, IVC plethora; respiratory
inflows not assessed).
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Estimated LVEF is 50-55%.
Valves are suboptimally visualized. A small to moderate sized
effusion is seen without echocardiographic evidence of
hemdynamic compromise.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___,
tecnically limited images on both exams limits comparison.
However, LV function appears better than on prior study. The
size of the effusion is not appreciably changed.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ male with chest pain, hypoxia and elevated troponin.
Evaluation for pulmonary embolism and right heart strain. Further history
denotes the patient has a known history of non-small cell lung cancer, as well
as a tender nodule or lymph node above the left clavicle.
COMPARISON: Comparison is made to multiple prior studies, including most
recent from ___, dating back to ___.
TECHNIQUE: Axial MDCT images were obtained through the thorax after the
dynamic administration of Omnipaque intravenous contrast material.
Reformatted coronal and sagittal images were also reviewed.
DLP: 584.9 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS: There is no evidence of filling defect within the main, right, left,
lobar, segmental or subsegmental pulmonary arteries. The main and right
pulmonary arteries are of normal caliber.
There is redemonstration of mural outpouching along the undersurface of the
aortic arch (2:54), compatible with known pseudoaneurysm, unchanged since
___. There is no evidence of intramural hematoma or aortic dissection.
Extensive collateralization of vessels along the left anterior and posterior
chest wall, as well as in the paravertebral regions has progressed since prior
studies, likely owing to focal narrowing of the left brachiocephalic vein
(2:26), which may be partially occluded, although intravenous contrast is
identified throughout its course. A moderate right pleural effusion has
increased in size since the prior study, and a small pericardial effusion
appears relatively stable. The overall heart size is unchanged. The
esophagus is unremarkable.
Extensive post-treatment changes along the bilateral paramediastinal regions,
particularly in the right upper lobe, at the site of previously treated lung
mass appear overall similar in comparison to the prior study. No new
pulmonary mass or concerning nodules are identified. Stable scattered
pulmonary nodules, some of which are ground-glass, and other solid measure
less than 4 mm, and are unchanged compared to the prior study (2:54, 2:39). A
right upper paratracheal lymph node measures 2.1 x 2.1 cm, slightly decreased
since the prior study when it measured 2.7 x 2.5 cm (2:36).
Moderate centrilobular background emphysema is overall unchanged, and areas of
mucus plugging in the left lower lobe airways appear similar compared to prior
studies.
A soft tissue endobronchial nodule in the left lower lobe bronchus (2:84)
measures approximately 8 mm, and is similar in appearance compared to numerous
prior studies, possibly a mucus plug; however, attention on followup imaging
is recommended to exclude endobronchial malignancy.
No significant mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy is noted. No
supraclavicular lymphadenopathy is noted on the right. A 2.8 x 2.0 cm soft
tissue nodule in the left supraclavicular fat pad is concerning for metastasis
(2:11).
Incidental note is made of aberrant right subclavian artery, which is not
dilated. A small hiatal hernia is present.
Although this study is not designed for evaluation of subdiaphragmatic
structures, there is no focal hepatic lesion, and a cystic lesion arising from
the superior pole of the left kidney is unchanged. No lytic or blastic lesion
suspicious for malignancy is identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism.
2. Unchanged right hilar and paramediastinal post-treatment changes.
3. Slight interval decrease in size of right upper paratracheal mass compared
to the prior study.
4. Mucoid impaction in the left lower lobe airways, with an 8-mm endoluminal
filling defect in the left lower lobe bronchus which could be a chronic mucus

preserved, and the basal cisterns appear patent. There is no shift of the
normally midline structures.
The cranial and facial soft tissues are unremarkable. The orbits are normal
in appearance. There is no evidence of fracture. Mucosal thickening in the
ethmoid air cells is noted, otherwise, the visualized paranasal sinuses,
mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are grossly clear.

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: LIVER OR GALLBLADDER US (SINGLE ORGAN) PORT
INDICATION: Metastatic pancreatic cancer and fever. Assess for biliary
dilation.
TECHNIQUE: Grey scale and color Doppler ultrasound images of the right upper
quadrant were obtained.
COMPARISON: T-Tube cholangiogram from ___. MRI of the abdomen and
pelvis from ___. Right upper quadrant ultrasound from ___.
FINDINGS:
LIVER: The hepatic parenchyma appears within normal limits.The contour of the
liver is smooth. There are several ill-defined hypoechoic masses in the
liver, which are compatible with the known metastases. These are better
evaluated on the recent MRI. The main portal vein is patent with hepatopetal
flow. There is no ascites.
BILE DUCTS: There is no intrahepatic biliary dilation. A common bile duct
stent is in place, obscuring evaluation of the common bile duct. This is
similar to the prior exam. Pneumobilia is present, suggesting the stent is
patent.
GALLBLADDER: Since the prior exam, the cholecystostomy tube has been removed.
The gallbladder appears collapsed and thick walled. There are some
curvilinear areas of fluid around the gallbladder, but no discrete drainable
fluid collection.
PANCREAS: There is an unchanged hypodense mass in the head of the pancreas,
better assessed on the prior MRI. There is pancreatic duct dilation.
KIDNEYS: Limited views of the right kidney demonstrate no hydronephrosis or
large mass.
RETROPERITONEUM: The visualized portions of aorta and IVC are within normal
limits.
Small right basal pleural effusion with mild atelectasis is noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. No intrahepatic biliary duct dilation. Unchanged appearance of the common
bile duct stent, with pneumobilia suggesting the stent is patent.
2. Collapsed gallbladder with wall thickening, which is nonspecific. There
is a small amount of curvilinear foci of fluid around the gallbladder but no
discrete drainable fluid collection. Residual inflammatory change in this
region is not excluded.
3. Pancreatic head mass and liver metastases, which were better characterized
on the prior MRI.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Fevers of uncertain etiology. Evaluate for pneumonia.
TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral views of the chest.
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___. CT of the chest from ___.
FINDINGS:
The lung volumes are low and linear opacities at the bases most likely
represent atelectasis. Otherwise there is little change. There is no focal
consolidation to suggest pneumonia. There is no pulmonary edema. The small
subpleural nodule seen on the prior CT of the chest are not well visualized on
today's exam. There are small bilateral pleural effusions. No pneumothorax is
identified. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. A metallic biliary
stent is present in the right upper quadrant.
IMPRESSION:
Small bilateral pleural effusions and bibasilar atelectasis. No definite
pneumonia.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRCP
INDICATION: ___ year old man with hx recurrent MDR pseudomonas, recurrent
fever after perc chole tube removal
TECHNIQUE: T1 and T2 weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen were acquired
within a 1.5 T magnet, including 3D dynamic sequences obtained prior to,
during, and following the administration of 6 cc of Gadavist intravenous
contrast. The patient also received oral contrast of 1 cc of Gadavist diluted
in 50 cc of water.
COMPARISON: The abdominal CT dating ___. MRCP dating ___
and ___.
FINDINGS:
There is been slight interval increase in size of bilateral pleural effusions,
left greater than right. Mild adjacent airspace opacity is noted at both lung
bases. There also nodular foci of enhancement previously obscured by airspace
opacity such as within the subpleural, anterior right lung base (10:15).
These may relate to residual consolidation, although metastases should be
considered.
Innumerable hepatic lesions are again seen scattered throughout the liver
parenchyma. These are T2 hyperintense with indistinct and hazy margins. Each
demonstrates markedly restricted diffusion, and T1 hypointensity. Each is
hypoenhancing compared with the surrounding parenchyma. During the arterial
phase of imaging there is transient parenchymal hyperenhancement of the left
lobe, accounted for by asymmetric left portal vein narrowing, unchanged from
prior (1403: 73).
The gallbladder continues to be decompressed status post recent removal of the
percutaneous cholecystostomy tube. There is residual gallbladder wall
thickening and mucosal hyperemia. The cystic duct is dilated, similar to
prior, appearing truncated at the level of the metallic stent within the
common bile duct. Maximum diameter of the cystic duct is 1.2 cm (11:3).
There is re- demonstration of a large pancreatic head mass with approximate
axial ___ of 2.1 x 3.7 cm. The upstream pancreatic parenchyma is
atrophied with main duct dilation to 5 mm. This mass abuts the anterior aspect
of the distal common bile duct, which contains a metallic stent. The distal
proper hepatic artery and proximal common hepatic artery course along the
superior margin of the tumor, and gastroduodenal artery traverses the tumor.
There is marked focal narrowing of the portal vein/SMV confluence which
appears to remain patent.
Lymphadenopathy is seen within the porta hepatis and gastrohepatic ligament,
unchanged from prior.
The spleen, adrenal glands and kidneys are unremarkable.
There is a trace amount of abdominal ascites, not significantly changed from
prior
Note is made of dilated vessels within the right axilla.
Arterial vascular anatomy is notable for a replaced left hepatic artery.
No focal osseous lesion of concern is identified.
IMPRESSION:
No significant intraabdominal change status post removal of percutaneous
cholecystostomy tube. No evidence of recurrent acute cholecystitis or
collection.
Pancreatic head tumor with local vascular involvement, and diffuse hepatic and
nodal metastases, unchanged from recent priors.
Slight increase in bilateral pleural effusions. Subpleural parenchymal
nodules are visualized in regions of prior consolidation. These could
represent residual consolidation or metastases.

___ Imaging PORT PLACEMENT ___
Successful placement of a double lumen chest power Port-a-cath
via the right internal jugular venous approach. The tip of the
catheter terminates in the right atrium. The catheter is ready
for use.
___ Imaging MR ARM W&W/O CONTRAST R
In the distal right upper extremity, there is a predominantly
solid, heterogeneously enhancing mass with mixed cystic
components currently measuring 13.1 x 11.3 x 16.4 cm. It is
similar in size to the prior CT from 2 days prior. However,
there
has been marked enlargement in size of the mass since ___ when it measured 10.0 x 6.5 x 9.5 cm. Some of the cystic
components demonstrate fluid fluid levels with areas that are T1
hyperintense which is new from the study from ___
likely representing components of hemorrhage within the mass.
There is mass effect on the adjacent musculature. However, no
significant signal abnormality or enhancement is noted within
this musculature to suggest invasion. Nonspecific subcutaneous
edema is noted the region of the elbow that is partially
visualized
___ Imaging BILAT LOWER EXT VEINS
No evidence of deep venous thrombosis in the right or left lower
extremity veins.
___ Imaging BILAT UP EXT VEINS US
1. Patent deep veins of the bilateral upper extremities without
evidence of deep vein thrombosis identified.
2. Bilateral supraclavicular soft tissue edema without focal
abnormalities.
___ Cardiovascular ECHO
Normal left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and
regional/global systolic function. No definite pathologic
valvular flow identified.
___ Imaging CTA UPPER EXT W&W/O C &
Interval increase in size of a highly vascular right upper arm
mass. Multiple presumed necrotic cystic spaces within the mass
contain hematocrit levels compatible with prior hemorrhage - one
with a couple locules of subcutaneous emphysema suggesting
recent
laceration/abrasion. No evidence of extravasation of
intravascular contrast material. There are preserved muscle and
fat planes between the mass and the brachial artery and vein.
___HEST W/CONTRAST
- The only suggestion malignancy in the chest is a pair of deep
right axillary subcentimeter peripherally enhancing lymph
nodes.
Alternatively these could be benign. There are no pulmonary
nodules or any intrathoracic adenopathy.
- Proximal LAD atherosclerotic calcification could be
hemodynamically significant.
___ Tissue: SOFT TISSUE, CORE BIOPSY FOR TUMOR
High grade pleomorphic sarcoma
___ Imaging HUMERUS (AP & LAT) RIGH
- Large soft tissue mass is seen in the lower portion of the
right upper arm adjacent to the right humerus. No obvious soft
tissue calcification is identified.
- No definite bone erosion or periostitis. Although there is a
segment of slightly ill-defined cortex along the lateral aspect
of the distal left humeral metadiaphysis, this is unlikely to
reflect bone erosion by the mass, as there was no direct
abutment of the soft tissue mass against humerus in this area on
the outside scanned-in MRI from ___.
- Otherwise, the right humerus is within normal limits.

enhancing, predominantly solid mass with mixed cystic components currently
measuring 13.1 x 11.3 x 16.4 cm. It is similar in size to the recent prior CT.
However, there has been marked enlargement in size of the mass since ___ when it measured 10.0 x 6.5 x 9.5 cm. Some of the cystic
components demonstrate fluid-fluid levels with areas that are T1 hyperintense
which is new since ___ likely representing components of hemorrhage
and/or proteinaceous content within the mass.
There is mass effect on the adjacent musculature. However, no significant
signal abnormality or enhancement is noted within this musculature to suggest
invasion. Nonspecific subcutaneous edema is noted the region of the elbow that
is partially visualized
Evaluation of the bones demonstrates heterogeneous marrow signal that remains
higher signal intensity on T1 weighted images when compared to the adjacent
skeletal muscle compatible with red marrow changes.
IMPRESSION:
Since ___, there has been marked increase in size of the large,
predominantly solid mass in the anterior soft tissues at the level of the
distal humerus compatible biopsy-proven high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma.

and has reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings.
ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of
50 mcg of fentanyl and 1 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service
time of 55 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were
continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine
was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site.
MEDICATIONS: 1 g IV Ancef.
CONTRAST: 0 ml of Optiray contrast.
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 2.0 min, 8 mGy
PROCEDURE
1. Right internal jugular approach chest double lumen Port-a-cath placement
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed
supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___
protocol. The upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right internal jugular vein
was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent
ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which
confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right
atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a
micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a short ___ wire was
advanced to make appropriate measurements for catheter length. An Amplatz
wire was then passed distally into the IVC.
Next, attention was turned towards creation of a subcutaneous pocket over the
upper anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local
anesthesia using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a 4.0 cm transverse
incision was made and a subcutaneous pocket was created by using blunt
dissection. The double lumen port was then connected to the catheter. The
catheter was tunneled from the subcutaneous pocket towards the venotomy site
from where it was brought out using a tunneling device. The port was then
connected to the catheter and checks were made for any leakage by accessing
the diaphragm using a non-coring ___ needle. No leaks were found.
The port was then placed in the subcutaneous pocket and secured with ___
prolene sutures on either side. The venotomy tract was dilated using the
introducer of the peel-away sheath supplied. Following this, the peel-away
sheath was placed over the Amplatz wire through which the port was threaded
into the right side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium. The sheath
was then peeled away.
The subcutaneous pocket was closed in layers with ___ interrupted and ___
subcuticular continuous Vicryl sutures. Steri-strips were used to close the
venotomy incision site. Steri-Strips were applied over the sutures. Final spot
fluoroscopic image demonstrating good alignment of the catheter and no
kinking. The tip is in the right atrium.
The po
Rt was accessed using non coring ___ needles and could be aspirated and
flushed easily. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the
procedure well without immediate complication. The port was left accessed as
requested.
FINDINGS:
Patent right internal jugular vein. Final fluoroscopic image showing port with
catheter tip terminating in the right atrium.
IMPRESSION:
Successful placement of a double lumen chest power Port-a-cath via the right
internal jugular venous approach. The tip of the catheter terminates in the
right atrium. The catheter is ready for use.

level of acuity: 3.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
It was a pleasure to care for you here at ___.
As you know, you were hospitilized for severe abdominal pain. We
are unsure of the cause of your abdominal pain. Obstruction of
your gallbladder can sometimes cause the type of pain your were
having. However, all of your labs were normal and a HIDA scan,
which is an imaging test used to look to see if your gallbladder
is obstructed, showed no gallbladder obstruction. We also
performed an ultrasound of your gallbladder which was equivocal,
but HIDA scan is a much better test to look for obstruction of
your gallbladder.
It is possible that your abdominal pain is being caused by
gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) or peptic ulcer disease.
We ordered an H. pylori test, which is currently pending, so you
will need to contact the hospital in 48 hours for these results.
We started you on famotidine, which is a medication that will
block acid secretion in your stomach and may help with your
symptoms.
You are being discharged because you are clinically stable, but
you should follow up with your primary care doctor. You should
also follow up in the ___ clinic. The information
needed in order to make an appointment is included in this
document. Please return to the hospital if you are experiencing
any symptoms that are concerning, including worsening or
persistent abdominal pain, blood in stool or black stool,
fevers, chills, nausea/vomiting, or any other symptoms that
concern you. |

TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were obtained through the abdomen and pelvis without
administration of IV contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images in coronal and
sagittal axes were generated and reviewed.
FINDINGS: The bases of the lungs are clear.
CT ABDOMEN: The evaluation of the intra-abdominal structures is limited by the
lack of IV contrast. The liver appears unremarkable without evidence of focal
lesions concerning for malignancy. There is no evidence of intrahepatic
biliary ductal dilatation. The gallbladder is normal without evidence of wall
thickening or stones. The spleen appears homogenous and normal in size. The
adrenal glands bilaterally are normal. The pancreas is normal without
evidence of focal lesions or peripancreatic stranding. The left kidney
contains a new left lower pole caliceal stone measuring 5 mm; however, there
is no hydronephrosis.
There is severe right kidney hydroureteronephrosis with 3 discrete stones in
the right distal ureter. The largest calculus measures 1.1 cm. There is mild
right perinephric stranding.
The stomach, duodenum and small bowel are unremarkable without evidence of
obstruction or wall thickening. The colon is normal. The appendix is
visualized and is unremarkable. There is no intra-abdominal free air. No
retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy is identified.
CT PELVIS: There is an enlarged, post-partum uterus. There is no pelvic or
inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is no evidence of pelvic free fluid.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No lytic or blastic lesions concerning for malignancy are
identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. Severe right hydroureteronephrosis with 3 stones in the right distal
ureter, largest measuring 1.1 cm.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with kidney stones and right-sided
hydroureteronephrosis.
COMPARISON: Same day CT abdomen
OPERATORS: Dr. ___ (attending) and Dr. ___ (fellow). The
attending was present and supervising throughout the entire procedure.
ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of
fentanyl and Versed throughout the total intra-service time of 40 min. The
patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. A total dose of
125 mcg of fentanyl and 2 mg of Versed were used. 1% local lidocaine was also
used subcutaneously.
FINDINGS:
The procedure was discussed in detail with the patient. The risks and
benefits were emphasized. Informed written consent was obtained.
When the patient arrived in the angiography suite they were placed prone on
the procedure table. A pre-procedure ultrasound imaged the kidney and lower
costal margin. The region was prepped and draped in usual sterile fashion. A
preprocedural time out was performed per ___ protocol.
Under sonographic guidance a posterior mid pole calyx was identified within
the right kidney. A 21 gauge cook needle was then advanced into the
collecting system. Clear urine was obtained. Under fluoroscopic guidance an
0.018 Nitinol wire was advanced into the renal pelvis. The needle was then
exchanged for an Accustick system. The wire was removed and clear urine
drained from the catheter. A sample was sent to microbiology. A small volume
of contrast was administered into the collecting system demonstrating severe
right -sided hydronephrosis and a moderately dilated right ureter.
A dedicated antegrade nephrostogram was not performed given urosepsis.
A ___ wire was advanced through the Accustick sheath and coiled within the
renal pelvis. The Accustick sheath was removed and 8 and 9 ___ dilators
were used to open the tract over the Amplatz wire. This was followed by
successful placement of an 8 ___ nephrostomy tube with the pigtail locked
within the renal pelvis. Nephrostogram confirmed the location of the
nephrostomy tube.
The catheter was secured to the skin using a suture and flexi track. The
catheter was placed to external bag drainage and bandaged according to
protocol. The patient left the department in stable condition. No
complications.
IMPRESSION:
Severe right sided hydronephrosis.
Successful placement of an 8 ___ percutaneous right-sided nephrostomy tube.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with obstructing renal stone status post right
nephrostomy placed on ___. Now status post ureteroscopy, laser
lithotripsy and nephroureteral stent placement. Nephrostomy removal
requested.
COMPARISON: ___.
PHYSICIAN: Dr. ___ (fellow) and Dr. ___ (attending), present
and supervising throughout.
FLUOROSCOPY TIME: 2.1 minutes.
CONTRAST: 10 mL Optiray 320.
PROCEDURE: Right nephrostogram.
PROCEDURE DETAIL: After explanation of the procedure, the patient was brought
to the angiography suite and placed prone on the imaging table. A
preprocedure timeout was performed. The right flank was prepped with
chlorhexidine.
Initial scout fluoroscopic image demonstrates an indwelling right nephrostomy
tube with a slightly tortuous course, a double J stent and a calculus in the
lower calyx. Approximately 10 mL of contrast was injected under fluoroscopic
visualization via the indwelling nephrostomy catheter. Contrast did not pass
beyond the mid ureter. The catheter was flushed and secured to the skin with a
0-silk suture and Stat-Lock device. The patient tolerated the procedure well
without immediate complication.
IMPRESSION: Right nephrostomy catheter left in situ given a small stone in
the lower calyx and no passage of contrast beyond the mid ureter. The tube
was capped. Findings and recommendations discussed between Dr. ___ Dr.

gravity drainage. Please monitor and record urine output from
the PCN tube.
Catheter flushing for troubleshooting only: If there are
excessive blood clots or debris or thick urine within the
connecting tubing, this can also be flushed as needed to clear
from the stopcock into the drainage bag.
Change dressing daily. Gently cleanse around the skin entry site
of the catheter with povidone iodine or dilute hydrogen
peroxide. Dry and apply sterile gauze dressing. Dressing should
be changed daily for the first three days and then Q3days and
prn saturation.
Catheter security: a) Every shift, check to be sure the
catheter, the connecting tubing and the drainage bag are
securely attached to the patient and are not kinked. b) If the
catheter appears to be pulling, please notify Interventional
Radiology. c) If the catheter pulls out, please notify

It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___
___. You were admitted due to shortness of breath.
Lab test revealed that you have iron deficiency anemia. The most
common cause of which is blood loss. This is most likely due to
chronic urinary blood loss however gastrointestinal blood loss
is possible as well.
You were transfused red blood cells and your numbers were stable
after this. Your primary care doctor may want to do a
colonoscopy or a bladder test after discharge. You were also
evaluated by physical therapy who recommended rehab, which you
did not want to do. You will go home with physical therapy
instead.
You also had some R jaw pain with chewing, most likely from
irritation. There were no signs of infection. You were
discharged with some pain medications as needed. Please follow
up with your PCP and dentist if the pain persists.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
Why was I admitted?
You were admitted because your blood pressure was low and you
were found to have an infection in your lung called pneumonia.
We were was also concerned that you had bleeding in your belly.
What was done while I was here?
You were treated with antibiotics for your pneumonia. We
watched your bleeding from your belly very closely and looked
down your throat with a camera. You have no active bleeding but
are prone to bleeding from your underlying liver disease. Your
liver disease is thought to be due to alcohol. You were
monitored closely for withdrawal from alcohol and given
medication to prevent this.
In addition, we discovered that Your oxygen becomes low at night
and you are diagnosed with sleep apnea. Therefore, we tried to
have you sleep with a CPAP machine. Your oxygen also becomes low
when you walk; this is probably due to your resolving pneumonia
and your liver disease.
What should I do now?
You should take your medications as instructed. It is very
important that you never drink alcohol again to avoid worsening
your liver disease. If you continue to drink alcohol, you will
be at very high risk of dying from liver disease or problems
caused by liver disease. Make sure you seek support in
maintaining sobriety through help from you social workers and
doctors. You can try a group like AA if you think it would help
you stop drinking.
You will be discharged with home oxygen. You can use this when
you are walking and your oxygen level becomes low. A nurse ___
come to your home and help to measure your oxygen levels to see
how much you need.
Because you have sleep apnea, you will need to wear oxygen at
night at 4L per minute. You will need to see the sleep medicine
doctors after leaving the hospital to get a formal sleep study
so that you can obtain a CPAP machine. Once you get a CPAP
machine, you must use it every night.
You should attend your doctor appointments as below.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ history of chronic pneumobilia of
unclear etiology, seizure disorder, GERD, gout, presenting with
worsening abdominal pain to ___, found to be febrile with CT A/P
showing pneumobilia with cholelithiaisis, RUQUS without
definitive evidence of cholecystitis transferred here for ERCP
evaluation.
Patient states that he has had several months of epigastric and
RUQ abdominal pain that is intermittent, worse with PO intake. 2
days prior he had acute worsening epigastric abdominal pain
worse
at night when lying down. Pain is located on bilateral sides,
epigastrium, and back. Associated with several days fevers and
chills. Also with nausea and 2 episodes of non-bloody emesis.
With very poor PO intake due to pain and nausea over last week.
Endorsing dry cough, no diarrhea, no burning on urination or
pain
on urination.
At ___ initial VS 98.2 P 72 BP 160/90 RR 22 O2 99% RA. Found to
have WBC 12.6. CT A/P with IV contrast showing mildly dilated
and
thickening of GB wall with air in GB and biliary tree presumably
reflecting prior sphincterotomy present in ___. Had RUQUS
showing gallstones, pneumobilia in intrahepatic ducts, cBD, and
gall bladder. Was given CTX 1gm, morphine, and protonix and
transferred for ERCP evaluation.
In the ED,
Initial Vitals: T 99 HR 74 BP 154/64 RR 16 O2 98%RA
During ED course, was febrile to 103 with worsening tachycardia
to 121 and hypotension to 79/49. WBC 4, lactate was 8. Given
worsening septic shock with presumed intra-abdominal source was
started on vanc/zosyn and got 4L NS. Had R IJ placed and was
started on levophed 0.15 prior to transfer to MICU. Had repeat
RUQUS showing sonographic findings equivocal for possible
cholecystitis. With sludge and gallstones, however with minimal
gallbladder wall thickening. ___ reat CT A/P at OSH showing no
evidence of perforated duodenal diverticulum. CBD with air
however without dilatation no obstructing mass or calculus.
Exam:
Gen: Comfortable, No Acute Distress
HEENT: NC/AT. EOMI.
Neck: No swelling. Trachea is midline. No JVD
Cor: RRR. No m/r/g.
Pulm: CTAB, Nonlabored respirations.
Abd: Mild epigastric tenderness.
Ext: No edema, cyanosis, or clubbing.
Skin: No rashes. No skin breakdown
Neuro: AAOx3. Gross sensorimotor intact.
Psych: Normal mentation.
Heme: No petechia. No ecchymosis.
Labs:
- WBC 4, Hb 16.5, PLT 146

- Lactate 8 --> 6 --> 2.7
- ALT 25, AST 24, ALP 93, T. bili 0.5, lipase 18
Imaging:
CXR: No acute intrathoracic abnormality.
RUQUS:
1. Sonographic findings are equivocal for possible
cholecystitis.
The gallbladder is filled with sludge and gallstones, however
there is minimal gallbladder wall thickening, and the
gallbladder
is not distended. Further
evaluation with HIDA scan may be performed if clinically
indicated.
2. Pneumobilia as seen on recent outside hospital CT abdomen
pelvis.
CT A/P WO Contrast OSH films:
1. There is no evidence of a perforated duodenal diverticulum.
Distortion and hyperenhancement of the wall of a short segment
of
the duodenum in its second portion in the periampullary region
is
likely related to chronic ulcer disease or recent passage of
sludge/gallstones, especially given the presence of unexplained
pneumobilia.
2. Air within the gallbladder and pneumobilia noted. The CBD
also
demonstrates presence of air within it, however tapers normally
towards the ampulla without visualization of an obstructing mass
or calculus at the ampulla.
3. No other acute process seen in the abdomen or pelvis to
explain patient's symptoms.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Additional evaluation for cause of
pneumobilia
and evaluation of the second portion of the duodenum by ERCP is
recommended.
Consults: Both ACS and ERCP consulted in ED. Per ERCP, no
indication for ERCP at this time. Per ACS, given duodenal
ulceration and pnuemobilia, concern for possible duodenal
perforation. In discussion with GI, decision initially made to
order UGIS. However after further discussion with radiology, OSH
CT WO contrast did not show evidence of duodenal ulceration.
Decision was made per ACS recommendations ultimately to repeat
CT
A/P with PO contrast to definitively rule out duodenal
perforation given prior CT was without PO contrast.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRCP
INDICATION: ___ year s/p lap chole, POD 2, increased abdominal RUQ pain,//
concern for bile leak, retained stone?
TECHNIQUE: T1- and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen were
acquired in a 1.5 T magnet.
Intravenous contrast: 10 mL Eovist.
Oral contrast: Not administered.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis ___
FINDINGS:
Lower Thorax: Limited evaluation of the lung bases shows trace right pleural
effusion. There is bibasilar subsegmental atelectasis.
Liver: There is no significant drop in signal on opposed phase imaging to
suggest hepatic steatosis. No focal hepatic lesions are identified. There is
a surgical drain, extending from the right lower abdomen towards the inferior
surface of the liver.
Biliary: Since the prior CT performed on ___, the patient has
undergone interval cholecystectomy. Within the gallbladder fossa, there is an
area of heterogeneous signal intensity measuring 3.0 x 2.1 cm (22:24). It is
largely hyperintense on T2 weighted imaging. There is no appreciable
postcontrast enhancement within this region. Findings are suggestive of a
small amount of fluid, with inflammation of the surrounding hepatic parenchyma
as evidence by heterogeneous arterial hyperenhancement (14:44). Developing
phlegmon/infection cannot be excluded.
On the delayed hepatobiliary phase, there is expected excretion through the
common bile duct, without evidence of a biliary leak. Filling defect in the
anti dependent portion of the CBD is consistent with air (22:28). There is no
evidence of choledocholithiasis. CBD measures up to 1 cm, which is not
significantly changed from the preoperative study.

Chief Complaint:
non functioning J tube and redness at site
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
___
Jejunostomy tube replacement
History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ woman with T3N0M0 poorly
differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus s/p
neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy followed by minimally
invasive
esophagectomy with Dr. ___ ___, now with local
recurrence/lymph node metastasis undergoing salvage
chemoradiation therapy. She underwent a laparoscopic feeding
jejunostomy tube placement on ___ with Dr. ___. She
tolerated this without complications and went home the same day.
She used her J-tube for feeding with no issues last night; she
has been cycling her tube feeds. When she showered this morning,
she dressed the J-tube site as usual, but noticed that the tube
may have appeared loose although all the sutures were in place.
She then noted when she tried to flush the tube later on, the
water came out through the J-tube site. She then called into the
office and was sent to the ED.
Of note, she has noticed increasing irritation/redness around
the
J-tube site, as well as surrounding the sutures. She has not had
any temperatures at home, but has felt some chills. She
continues
with chemoRT and has been tolerating that well with some nausea.
She is still able to eat soft foods with careful chewing as she
does have some dysphagia, and as previously mentioned, cycles
her
tube feeds at night. She moves her bowel regularly with the help
of miralax. She is scheduled for her next radiation treatment
this morning at 8:45AM on ___.

level of pain: nan
level of acuity: nan | Mr. ___-
It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___
___. You were admitted to the hospital after
transfer from an outside institution for ruptured abdominal
aortic aneurysm. You underwent emergent repair which required
placement of a graft in you aorta. You also required an
incision made into your abdomen to release the blood that
collected after the rupture.
Please follow the recommendations below to ensure a speedy and
uneventful recovery.
Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery
Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair Discharge
Instructions
PLEASE NOTE: After endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), it is very
important to have regular appointments (every ___ months) for
the rest of your life. These appointments will include a CT
(CAT) scan and/or ultrasound of your graft. If you miss an
appointment, please call to reschedule.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Bruising, tenderness, and a sensation of fullness at the groin
puncture sites (or incisions) is normal and will go away in
one-two weeks
CARE OF THE GROIN PUNCTURE SITES:
It is normal to have mild swelling, a small bruise, or small
amounts of drainage at the groin puncture sites. In two weeks,
you may feel a small, painless, pea sized knot at the puncture
sites. This too is normal. Male patients may notice some
swelling in the scrotum. The swelling will get better over
one-two weeks.
Look at the area daily to see if there are any changes. Be
sure to report signs of infection. These include: increasing
redness; worsening pain; new or increasing drainage, or drainage
that is white, yellow, or green; or fever of 101.5 or more. (If
you have taken aspirin, Tylenol, or other fever reducing
medicine, wait at least ___ hours after taking it before you
check your temperature in order to get an accurate reading.)
FOR SUDDEN, SEVERE BLEEDING OR SWELLING (Groin puncture site or
incision)
If you have sudden, severe bleeding or swelling at either of
the groin puncture sites:
-Lie down, keep leg straight and apply (or have someone apply)
firm pressure to area for ___ minutes with a gauze pad or
clean cloth.
-Once bleeding has stopped, call your surgeon to report what
happened.
-If bleeding does not stop, call ___ for transfer to closest
Emergency Room.
You may shower 48 hours after surgery. Let the soapy water
run over the puncture sites, then rinse and pat dry. Do not rub
these sites and do not apply cream, lotion, ointment or powder.
Wear loose-fitting pants and clothing as this will be less
irritating to the groin puncture sites.
MEDICATIONS
Take aspirin daily. Aspirin helps prevent blood clots that
could form in your repaired artery.
It is very important that you never stop taking aspirin or
other blood thinning medicines-even for a short while- unless
the surgeon who repaired your aneurysm tells you it is okay to
stop. Do not stop taking them, even if another doctor or nurse
tells you to, without getting an okay from the surgeon who first
prescribed them.
You will be given prescriptions for any new medication started
during your hospital stay.
Before you go home, your nurse ___ give you information about
new medication and will review all the medications you should
take at home. Be sure to ask any questions you may have. If
something you normally take or may take is not on the list you
receive from the nurse, please ask if it is okay to take it.
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Most patients do not have much pain following placement of the
stent alone. You had an abdominal incision in addition to this,
so recovery may take longer. Your puncture sites may be a
little sore. This will improve daily. If it is getting worse,
please let us know.
You will be given instructions about taking pain medicine if
you need it.
ACTIVITY
You must limit activity to protect the puncture sites in your
groin. For ONE WEEK:
-Do not drive
-Do not swim, take a tub bath or go in a Jacuzzi or hot tub
-Do not lift, push, pull or carry anything heavier than five
pounds
-Do not do any exercise or activity that causes you to hold your
breath or bear down with your abdominal muscles.
-Do not resume sexual activity
Discuss with your surgeon when you may return to other regular
activities, including work. If needed, we will give you a
letter for your workplace.
It is normal to feel weak and tired. This can last six-eight
weeks, but should get better day by day. You may want to have
help around the house during this time.
___ push yourself too hard during your recovery. Rest when
you feel tired. Gradually return to normal activities over the
next month.
We encourage you to walk regularly. Walking, especially
outdoors in good weather is the best exercise for circulation.
Walk short distances at first, even in the house, then do a
little more each day.
It is okay to climb stairs. You may need to climb them slowly
and pause after every few steps.
BOWEL AND BLADDER FUNCTION
You should be able to pass urine without difficulty. Call you
doctor if you have any problems urinating, such as burning,
pain, bleeding, going too often, or having trouble urinating or
starting the flow of urine. Call if you have a decrease in the
amount of urine.
You may experience some constipation after surgery because of
pain medicine and changes in activity. Increasing fluids and
fiber in your diet and staying active can help. To relief
constipation, you may talk a mild laxative. Please take to
your pharmacist for advice about what to take.
SMOKING
If you smoke, it is very important that you STOP. Research
shows smoking makes vascular disease worse. This could increase
the chance of a blockage in your new graft. Talk to your
primary care physician about ways to quit smoking. |

C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7, including myelomalacia within the
spinal cord. Because of the ongoing severe stenosis, the
nature of his symptoms, and the severity of the symptoms, he
elected to undergo surgical treatment, with the goal of
halting the progression of his spinal cord injury and
myelopathy.
Prior to surgery I explained in detail to the patient the
possible risks of surgery which included the risk of
nerve injury, persistent and or worsening pain, spinal fluid
leak, infection or meningitis, excessive bleeding, paralysis,
death, blindness, sexual dysfunction, retrograde ejaculation,
blood vessel injury, injury to neighboring organs, need for
further surgery, bowel and bladder dysfunction, instability, and
autonomic nervous system dysfunction as well as unforeseen
medical and surgical complications. An understanding that in
general spinal surgery is more predictive in improving extremity
discomfort than axial spine pain and arresting the progression
of
spinal cord dysfunction rather than improving it was stressed.
The risks of junctional degeneration, bone graft donor
morbidity,
the differences in efficacy between local bone graft,
autologous iliac crest bone graft and allograft, the FDA status
of the instrumentation, the possible need for further surgery,
the risk of nonhealing and instrumentation failure, and chronic
pain were also explained.
The patient was taken to the Operating Room and after
identification of the patient and the operative site,
administration of antibiotics, and completion of anesthesia, the
patient was prepped and draped in the prone position on
laminectomy rolls. During this time and the entire operation,
care was taken to maintain appropriate perfusion pressures
during
anesthesia. All bony protuberances and soft tissues were well
padded in the standard fashion. Pre- and intra-operatively
prophylactic antibiotics were administered according to the
appropriate timing schedule. A Foley catheter was placed.
Sequential compressive boots were applied and maintained
throughout the procedure. A time out was completed before
beginning the surgical procedure.
Posterior Spinal Exposure:
An incision was made in the skin over the intended surgical
levels and dissection was carried down through the subcutaneous
tissue down to the level of the deep fascia. The deep fascia was
divided and elevated off the posterior elements in a
subperiosteal manner. An intra-operative radiograph was taken
to
confirm the appropriate spinal level.
Cervical lateral mass screw placement:
The anatomic landmarks were identified for lateral mass and
pedicular fixation. A pilot hole was initiated in the correct
anatomic location with a 2 mm burr. Lateral mass fixation was
performed at the C3 to C6 levels. Lateral mass screw
trajectory was drilled in an upward and outward direction
according to the modified Magerl technique. Each of the holes
was tapped if necessary and palpated with a small ball tipped
feeler probe to insure proper integrity of the bony tunnel.
Pedicle fixation was performed at C7 by directly palpating the
borders of the pedicle following a laminoforaminotomy to allow
proper placement and trajectory of the pedicle screw. The
pedicular holes were tapped if necessary and palpated to ensure
integrity of the pedicle screw path. Appropriate length screws
were then selected and placed into the properly prepared bone
holes. In all cases, satisfactory purchase of the screws was
noted.
Spinal rods were then contoured and applied to the spinal
anchors
followed by the appropriate locking vector forces.
Intraoperative
imaging confirmed the appropriate placement of the spinal
anchors
and alignment of the spinal fixation.
Laminectomy C3, C4, C5, C6:
Using sub-periosteal dissection, the laminas of the C3 to C7
vertebrae were exposed. The cervical laminas of C3 to C6 were
secured with towel clips for stabilization. The interspinous
ligament was carefully removed between the laminectomy levels
and
the bordering caudal and cranial spinous processes. A high-speed
drill was then used to create two lateral gutters at
the laminar border. The outer bony cortex and inner cancellous
bone was removed down to the level of the inner cortical bone. A
small curette and ___ ___ was then used to remove this
layer
of bone allowing exposure of the ligamentum flavum and dural
sac.
A ___ ___ rongeur was then used to detach the remaining
intervening ligaments. By carefully elevating the lamina through
the attached towel clips, the spinous processes and lamina were
removed as one unit. A ___ rongeur was then used to widen the
laminectomy as necessary. Foraminotomies were next performed at
each level of decompression to ensure absence of foraminal
compression. Complete hemostasis was obtained in the lateral
recesses with bipolar cautery and hemostatic agents. The dura
was seen to expand and dural pulsations were evident.
Posterolateral fusion C3 to C7 with bone grafting:
The remaining posterior elements of the C3 to C7
vertebral bodies were gently decorticarted with a high speed
drill to expose bleeding trabecular bone. Autograft prepared
from the laminectomy harvest was packed within the decorticated
facet joints as well as allograft was packed over the
decorticated posterior elements.
After the wound was thoroughly irrigated with antibiotic
impregnated fluid and all bleeding was stopped, closure was
completed with interrupted 0 Vicryl suture ligatures in the
fascia, ___ Vicryl suture ligatures in the subcutaneous tissues
and a running ___ Monocryl suture ligature in the subcuticular
layer. The drain was left in the wound exiting through the
wound
closure site which was a small Hemovac.
All sponge, needle and instrument counts are correct at the
end of the case. The patient tolerated the anesthesia and
the procedure well and is brought to the postanesthesia care
unit in stable condition.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Cervical fusion.
FINDINGS: Images from the operating suite show posterior fusion spanning what
appears to be C3 through C7. Further information can be gathered from the
operative report.
Radiology Report
PORTABLE CHEST X-RAY, ___
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: Tip of endotracheal tube terminates 9 cm above the carina and could
be advanced approximately 4 to 5 centimeters for standard positioning. Tip of
nasogastric tube terminates in proximal stomach with side port above GE
junction and could also be advanced.
Exam is otherwise remarkable for a large mass-like area of opacification above
the right hilum with adjacent surgical sutures, as well as right upper lobe
volume loss and asymmetrical right apical thickening. Although similar to
recent radiographs, this is a change from baseline radiograph of ___. Surgical sutures are also present in the left mid lung.
Further evaluation with dedicated chest CT is suggested when the patient's
clinical status permits, in order to assess for possible lung malignancy. Dr.
___ was successfully paged to discuss these findings at 8:15 a.m. on
___ at time of discovery.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: Duplex Doppler evaluation of the extracranial carotid arteries.
TECHNIQUE: Grayscale, color and spectral Doppler were used to evaluate the
extracranial carotid arteries.
HISTORY: ___ male with history of lung cancer and syncope. Request
is to evaluate for carotid atherosclerosis.
FINDINGS:
RIGHT SIDE:
There is mild heterogenous plaque involving the right ICA.
Peak systolic velocities in the proximal, mid and distal ICA are 68 cm/sec, 62
cm/sec and 54 cm/sec respectively. Peak systolic velocities in the right
common and external carotid arteries are 67 cm/sec and 110 cm/sec
respectively. Peak systolic antegrade velocities in the right vertebral
artery of 62 cm/sec are recorded. This yields a right-sided internal to
common carotid ratio of 1.0, predictive of less than 40% stenosis.
LEFT SIDE: Again, there is mild heterogenous plaque involving the left
internal carotid artery ostium. Peak systolic velocities in the left
proximal, mid and distal ICA are 53 cm/sec, 60 cm/sec and 48 cm/sec. Left
common and external carotid artery peak systolic velocities of 54 cm/sec and
101 cm/sec are recorded. Again, there is normal antegrade flow in the left
vertebral artery with a peak systolic velocity of 79 cm/sec. This yields a
left-sided internal to common carotid ratio of 1.1, again predictive of less
than 40% stenosis.
IMPRESSION: Mild heterogenous plaque bilaterally. Flow velocities are
indicative of less than 40% stenosis.

Cardiac catheterization (___):
- Hemodynamics: Mild-moderate elevated left-sided filling
pressures (LVEDP ___ mmHg)
- Coronary angiography: right dominant
- LMCA: Large vessel with distal plaque (30%) extending into
the LAD origin.
- LAD: Mild luminal irregularities. The origin has a 30%
lesion (an extension of the distal LM plaque) and the mid
segment is tortuous with ___ plaque at the takeoff of the
diseased high D1. The high D1 is a large bifurcating vessel
(functionally ramus) with 90% ostial lesion. The LAD gives
several small distal diagonal branches that are patent.
- LCX: Retroflexed with mild luminal irregularities and focal
30% mid vessel lesion. The "high" OM1 a small diameter but

boluses were administered. ___ XB LAD 3.5 guide provided good
support throughout the case. Crossed with Prowater with ease and
predilated with 2.0x12 mm RX Sprinter balloon. We then decided
to pass another wire into the LAD given the presence of disease
at the diag takeoff. At this point, a 2.75x12 mm Resolute
drug-eluting stent was deployed at 9 ATM with complete balloon
expansion. Final angiography showed excellent result with 0%
residual stenosis and no angiographically-apparent impingement
on the LAD whatsoever.

IMAGING:
___ CT Chest:
1. Nonspecific ill-defined perigastric fat stranding posterior
to the left liver lobe at the level of the GE junction appears
unchanged from ___. Again, this may reflect
gastritis. Proximally the esophagus appears unremarkable.
2. Relative regional hypodensity of the left hepatic lobe is
unchanged, and may reflect sequela of prior radiation treatment.
Multiple hepatic hypodensities measuring up to 1.3 cm are
stable, and likely represents cyst or biliary hamartomas.
3. Vertebral plana of T9 and lytic lesion in the inferior
endplate of T8 again seen.
___ MRI T spine:
Multiple osseous lesions, likely secondary to multiple myeloma.
2. Pathologic fracture at T9 leading to vertebra plana and
associated spinal
canal and neural foramen stenosis causing impingement of T10
nerve root.
3. Postradiation changes involving T6- T11 vertebral bodies with
fatty infiltration.
US APPENDIX ___
Dilated 11 mm, noncompressible appendix in the right lower
quadrant. In the correct clinical setting, findings suggest
appendicitis.
CT ABD/PELVIS ___
1. Fat stranding at the level of the GE junction likely
reflects gastritis seen on the EGD from the outside hospital.
This could also be non-specific change from prior radiation
therapy. The stomach itself is not well distended, limiting
evaluation.
2. The appendix is dilated to 10 mm, although without adjacent
fat stranding or fluid collection. Oral contrast fills the
cecum, but not the appendix. While outside hospital images are
not available for review, based on the outside hospital report,
today's appearance of the appendix is presumed to be similar to
the scan from 3 days prior.
3. Known multifocal lytic lesions of T8, L4, and the left iliac
bone, compatible with known history of multiple myeloma. Near
complete collapse of the T9 vertebral body was also identified
on the prior study.
MRI T-SPINE ___. Multiple osseous lesions, likely secondary to multiple
myeloma.
2. Pathologic fracture at T9 leading to vertebra plana and
associated spinal
canal and neural foramen stenosis causing impingement of T10
nerve root.
3. Postradiation changes involving T6- T11 vertebral bodies with
fatty
infiltration.
CT CHEST ___. Nonspecific ill-defined perigastric fat stranding posterior
to the left liver lobe at the level of the GE junction appears
unchanged from ___. Again, this may reflect
gastritis but appears to be within the radiation treatment
field. Proximally the esophagus appears unremarkable.
2. Relative regional hypodensity of the left hepatic lobe is
unchanged, and likely reflects sequela of radiation treatment.
Multiple hepatic
hypodensities measuring up to 1.3 cm are stable, and likely
represents cyst or biliary hamartomas.
3. Vertebral plana of T9 and lytic lesion in the inferior
endplate of T8
again seen
OSH IMAGING
CT ABD/PELVIS ___
1. Apparent appendiceal wall thickening with an appendiceal
diameter of up to 8 mm. No evidence of periappendiceal
stranding, abscess, or fluid collection. These findings are new
when compared to the PET/CT of ___ and could be seen in
chronic inflammation of the appendix but equivocal for acute
appendicitis. If the patient has continue pain or develops sign
of infection, consider a repeat abdominal CT to reassess.
2. Distal and sigmoid colon diverticulosis. No evidence of
enteritis or colitis.
3. Multifocal lucent lytic lesions involving T8, T9, L4, and
left
iliac bone, unchanged from a PET/CT study of ___,
___ PET
Impression: Moderately hypermetabolic lytic lesion in the T9
vertebra, known to represent a plasma cell neoplasm. Lucent 1.2
cm lesion in the right L4 vertebral body and a 0.3 cm focus in
the left iliac crest are suspicious but do not demonstrate
striking hypermetabolism, possibly due to their small size.
Mottled, mildly increased hypermetabolism is present in the
lumbar vertebrae and in the proximal more so than distal femurs
without corresponding lytic lesions is of uncertain significance
but could represent low grade disease or hyperplastic marrow.
___ MRI spine:
1) ___ compression fracture of T9.
2) Nondisplaced vertical fracture through the right lamina of
T9-T10.
3) Focal ____ at T8-T9 which is superimposed on the posterior

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT ABD AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with concern for appy on US, abd pain in RUQ. Evaluate for
appendicitis.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were acquired through the abdomen and pelvis
following intravenous contrast administration with split bolus technique. IV
Contrast: 130 mL Omnipaque.
Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS.
Oral contrast was administered.
DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 671 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Only the report of the outside hospital CT abdomen pelvis from ___ is available. No images from this study are available for
comparison.
FINDINGS:
LOWER CHEST: There is mild bibasilar dependent atelectasis, but no pleural
effusions.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: A 1.4 cm and 0.9 cm left hepatic lobe hypodensities were
described on the outside hospital as stable, likely hepatic cysts. Multiple
other right hepatic lobe subcentimeter hypodensities are too small to
characterize, but are also unchanged. Relative regional hypodensity of the
left hepatic lobe is likely due to differential perfusion, as described on the
prior study. There is no evidence of new focal lesions. There is no evidence
of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is
surgically absent.
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. A small accessory spleen is identified (2:22).
ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape.
URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram.
There is no evidence of focal renal lesions or hydronephrosis. There is no
perinephric abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: There is nonspecific ill-defined perigastric fat stranding
posterior to the left liver lobe at the level of the GE junction (___),
which may reflect gastritis seen on EGD from the outside hospital. The
stomach itself is not well distended, therefore limiting evaluation. Small
bowel loops demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness, and enhancement
throughout. Diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon is noted, without evidence of
wall thickening and fat stranding. There is appendiceal wall thickening to
approximately 1.0 cm (02:59), although without periappendiceal stranding or
fluid collection. Oral contrast fills the cecum, but not the appendix.
PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is no
free fluid in the pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Prostate is enlarged, with small calcifications, likely
due to prior inflammation.
LYMPH NODES: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There
is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy.
VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Mild atherosclerotic disease
is noted.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: Near complete collapse of the T9 vertebral body, as
described on the prior study, is identified. Known lytic lesions at the
inferior T8 and L4 vertebral bodies, and left iliac bone, are also seen.
Retrolisthesis of L5 on S1 is also present, with endplate sclerosis and vacuum
disc phenomenon at that level. Small amount of fat seen in the bilateral
inguinal canals.
IMPRESSION:
1. Fat stranding at the level of the GE junction likely reflects gastritis
seen on the EGD from the outside hospital. This could also be non-specific
change from prior radiation therapy. The stomach itself is not well
distended, limiting evaluation.
2. The appendix is dilated to 10 mm, although without adjacent fat stranding
or fluid collection. Oral contrast fills the cecum, but not the appendix.
While outside hospital images are not available for review, based on the
outside hospital report, today's appearance of the appendix is presumed to be
similar to the scan from 3 days prior.
3. Known multifocal lytic lesions of T8, L4, and the left iliac bone,
compatible with known history of multiple myeloma. Near complete collapse of
the T9 vertebral body was also identified on the prior study.
NOTIFICATION: The above findings were communicated in person by Dr. ___
to Dr. ___ resident) at 06:55 on ___.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old man with MM s/p XRT to T9 in ___, p/w 1 week
worsening epigastric pain in setting of 2 months epigastric pain // Any
changes from MM or radiation to explain acute on chronic epigastric pain?
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical scanning of the chest was performed without
intravenous contrast agent reconstructed as contiguous 5- and 1.25-mm thick
axial, 2.5-mm thick coronal and parasagittal, and 8 x 8 mm MIPs axial images.
DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 205 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis dated ___.
FINDINGS:
MEDIASTINUM: The imaged thyroid is normal. There is no supraclavicular,
axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. Partially calcified small
mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes are present. The aorta and pulmonary
arteries are normal in size. There is a bovine aortic arch (normal variant,
common origin of the innominate artery and left common carotid). The heart
size is normal and there is no pericardial effusion.
PLEURA: There is no pneumothorax. There is no pleural effusion.
LUNGS: The airways are patent. There is discoid lingular atelectasis and
lingular and mild right middle lobe atelectasis. A punctate pulmonary nodule
is seen in the right lower lobe (5:159).
BONES: There is vertebral plana of the T9 vertebral body. Unchanged
appearance of lytic lesion at the inferior T8 vertebral body. Healed left
lateral fifth and sixth rib fractures.
UPPER ABDOMEN: This study is not tailored to evaluate the abdomen. Relative
regional hypodensity of the left hepatic lobe is unchanged, and likely
reflects sequela of radiation treatment. Multiple hepatic hypodensities
measuring up to 1.3 cm appear unchanged, and likely represent cysts or biliary
hamartomas. Note is made of a small accessory spleen. Nonspecific
ill-defined perigastric fat stranding posterior to the left liver lobe at the
level of the GE junction appears unchanged from a CT abdomen pelvis dated ___. Proximally the esophagus is unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Nonspecific ill-defined perigastric fat stranding posterior to the left
liver lobe at the level of the GE junction appears unchanged from ___. Again, this may reflect gastritis but appears to be within the
radiation treatment field. Proximally the esophagus appears unremarkable.
2. Relative regional hypodensity of the left hepatic lobe is unchanged, and
likely reflects sequela of radiation treatment. Multiple hepatic
hypodensities measuring up to 1.3 cm are stable, and likely represents cyst or
biliary hamartomas.
3. Vertebral plana of T9 and lytic lesion in the inferior endplate of T8
again seen.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR ___ ANDW/O CONTRAST ___ MR SPINE
INDICATION: ___ year old man with newly diagnosed MM, s/p XRT to ___, w/
epigastric pain x 2 months, worsening epigastric pain x 1 week // Any signs
of MM or radiation changes that could explain epigastric pain that radiates in
T9 distribution?
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique,
followed by axial T2 imaging. This was followed by sagittal and axial T1
images obtained after the uneventful intravenous administration of 8 mL of
Gadavist contrast agent.
COMPARISON: CT thoracic spine from ___. CT abdomen and pelvis
from ___.
FINDINGS:
There is vertebra plana at T9, unchanged compared to the prior CT from ___ with associated focal kyphosis of the thoracic spine. This is
likely secondary to the vertebral body involvement with multiple myeloma and
superimposed pathologic fracture. There is associated retropulsion of the
fracture fragments posteriorly into the spinal canal causing severe spinal
canal stenosis and indentation of the ventral aspect of the spinal cord as
seen on image 7:11. There is associated severe narrowing of the left and
moderate narrowing of the right T9-T10 neural foramen with impingement of the
T10 nerve roots at this level. No focal cord signal abnormality is however
seen.
There are multiple other lytic lesions involving the visualized thoracic
spine, likely secondary to the involvement by multiple myeloma including a
lesion along the inferior end plate of T8, a lesion along the posterior aspect
of T1 vertebrae measuring approximately 0.9 x 1.2 cm and a lesion along the
superior endplate of T12 vertebrae.
There is fatty marrow signal involving T6 to the 11 vertebral bodies, likely
postradiation in etiology.
No cord signal abnormality is seen. No enhancing epidural soft tissue mass is
seen.
The remaining thoracic spine appears unremarkable. Neural foramen and spinal
canal are patent at all other levels.
The visualized retroperitoneal, paraspinal and paravertebral soft tissues
appear unremarkable. The visualized lung parenchyma appears clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. Multiple osseous lesions, likely secondary to multiple myeloma.
2. Pathologic fracture at T9 leading to vertebra plana and associated spinal
canal and neural foramen stenosis causing impingement of T10 nerve root.
3. Postradiation changes involving T6- T11 vertebral bodies with fatty
infiltration.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD
INDICATION: ___ year old man with known right parietotemporal infarct
diagnosed last week at ___, on interval CT has linear hyperdensity.
Question of subarachnoid hemorrhage or laminar necrosis.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of 9 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: CT head without contrast dated ___ from ___
___.
FINDINGS:
Examination is minimally limited by motion artifact.
There is an evolving large subacute infarct involving the right parietal lobe,
temporal lobe, and posterior insula with extensive gyriform low signal on
gradient echo images and gyriform T1 hyperintensity, compatible with
hemorrhagic conversion plus/minus pseudolaminar necrosis. There is
superimposed gyriform contrast enhancement, as expected in a subacute infarct.
Mild partial effacement of the atrium of the right lateral ventricle is
similar to ___. No significant shift of midline structures.
There is also a smaller area of blood products and T1 hyperintensity in the
anterior temporal lobe, with gyriform contrast enhancement, but no evidence
for slow diffusion, compatible with hemorrhagic transformation of a subacute
infarct which is older than 10 days.
Within the posterior inferior right cerebellar hemisphere, there are multiple
foci of slow diffusion and patchy contrast enhancement, without evidence for
blood products, compatible with subacute infarctions. No significant
associated mass effect.
There is a punctate focus of slow diffusion with small, but slightly more
extensive area of gyriform contrast enhancement in the right posterior frontal
lobe, images 6:21 and 13:129, consistent with subacute infarction. Punctate
low signal on gradient echo image 10:20 in this area suggest petechial
hemorrhage.
Nonspecific, non masslike T2 hyperintensity in the bilateral central pons is
nonspecific but compatible with sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic
disease in this age group. Where not affected by the infarctions, the
ventricles and sulci appear age appropriate in size. Basal cisterns are not
compressed.
Right intracranial vertebral artery flow void is poorly seen, which is likely
secondary to its small caliber, as it demonstrates contrast opacification on
postcontrast MP RAGE images. The dural venous sinuses are patent on
postcontrast MP RAGE images.
There is mild mucosal thickening in the right ethmoid and frontal sinuses.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large subacute infarct involving the right parietal lobe, temporal lobe,
and posterior insula, with hemorrhagic transformation, plus/minus
pseudolaminar necrosis.
2. Additional smaller right anterior lobe infarct with hemorrhagic
transformation plus/minus pseudolaminar necrosis, also subacute, which appears
to be older than 10 days.
3. Patchy small subacute infarctions in the right posterior inferior
cerebellar hemisphere.
4. Small focus of cortical subacute infarction in the right posterior frontal
lobe.
5. Contrast enhancement associated with above described subacute infarctions
is likely physiologic, but follow-up imaging is recommended to ascertain
resolution.
6. The above described infarctions of varying ages in multiple vascular
territories suggest embolic etiology.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Follow up MRI with and without contrast in approximately 6
weeks to confirm expected resolution of contrast enhancement.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT ABD AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with recent surg for vent hernia repair on ___,
sbo, with return of symptoms of SBO+PO contrast
TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were obtained from the lung bases to the pubic
symphysis after the administration of intravenous contrast. Axial images were
interpreted in conjunction with coronal and sagittal reformats. Oral contrast
was administered.
DLP: 943 mGy-cm
COMPARISON: Comparison is made to abdomen and pelvic CT from ___.
FINDINGS:
CHEST: The visualized lung bases are clear. The heart is normal in size and
there is no evidence of pericardial effusion.
ABDOMEN:
The liver enhances homogeneously and is without focal lesions. The portal
venous system is patent. Mild intrahepatic biliary ductal dilation is
unchanged. The gallbladder is surgically absent..
The spleen and adrenal glands are unremarkable. The pancreas enhances
homogenously and is without focal lesions.
Focal defects in the cortex of the of right and left kidneys likely from prior
scarring. Subcentimeter hypodensity in the left kidney is too small to
characterize but likely represents a cyst. There is no hydronephrosis. The
ureters are normal in caliber and course to the bladder.
Oral contrast extends through the proximal small bowel. The stomach and
proximal small bowel are normal in caliber without wall thickening.
A mesh from prior ventral hernia repair is seen spanning the midline of the
lower abdomen. In the soft tissues anterior to the mesh there is a 8.4 x2.9 x
5.5 cm (transverse by AP by cc) collection with surrounding stranding (series
2:75). There are a few foci of air within the soft tissues. Just posterior to
the mesh within the intra-abdominal cavity is an additional fluid collection
with a hyperenhancing border crossing the midline and measuring approximately
13.0 x 2.4 cm (transverse by AP). There is no evidence of rim enhancement.
Posterior to this collection there are multiple fluid filled loops of
edematous and mildly dilated small bowel (series 2, image 76). There is no
evidence of intra-abdominal free air. The large bowel is primarily
fluid-filled and is without wall thickening.
The abdominal aorta and its major branches are patent . The aorta and iliac
branches are normal in course and caliber. There is no retroperitoneal or
mesenteric lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria.
PELVIS:
The bladder is well distended and normal. There is no pelvic side-wall or
inguinal lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. No free pelvic fluid is
identified.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No focal lytic or sclerotic lesion concerning for
malignancy.
IMPRESSION:
1. Intra-abdominal fluid collection posterior to the surgical mesh measuring
13.0 x 2.4 cm, concerning for a developing abscess. Markedly edematous, mildly
dilated loops small bowel posterior to this collection are probably reactive
(vs enteritis or ischemia.)
2. Soft tissue fluid collection within the anterior abdominal wall soft
tissues with surrounding stranding, is likely postsurgical although a
superimposed infection is not excluded.
3. Fluid-filled large bowel without evidence of thickening.

CHEST (PA & LAT) Study Date of ___
FINDINGS: The heart is normal in size. The mediastinal and hilar
contours
appear within normal limits. There is a persistent patchy left
basilar opacity. Given the lack of change, the appearance may be
chronic. More
generally, there is mild interstitial prominence, perhaps due to
slight fluid overload or congestion, but not specific; other
possibilities include atypical infection, airway inflammation,
or possibly interstitial lung disease.
IMPRESSION: Mild suspected background interstitial abnormality
and unchanged focal left infrahilar opacity, accordingly
suggestive of longer chronicity. Clinical correlation is
recommended. If shortness of breath were to continue and the
possibility of an underlying interstitial process is of
potential clinical concern, dedicated chest CT could be
considered.
.
CT ABD & PELVIS WITH CONTRAST Study Date of ___
CT ABDOMEN: There are no pleural effusions. The lung bases
appear clear.
The liver is nodular consistent with fibrosis. The caudate and
left lateral segments are markedly enlarged. The entire left
lobe is shrunken with predominantly central areas of relative
hypodensity suggesting fibrosis. Because monophasic technique
was used, screening for hepatocellular carcinoma is limited, but
there are no suspicious focal lesions identified. The spleen is
moderately enlarged, measuring up to 17.3 cm in length.
Esophageal, paraesophageal and short gastric varices are
apparent. The gallbladder shows mild wall thickening which can
be seen in cirrhosis but it does not appear distended. The
adrenal glands, pancreas and adrenal glands appear within normal
limits.
Along the anterior abdominal wall there is a fat-containing
paraumbilical
hernia with omental contents. Its neck is wide, measuring up to
nearly 26 mm in diameter; the sac measures up to 49 mm in
diameter. There is congestive change suggested by high
attenuation in the fat as well as a small amount of peripheral
fluid, which are findings that can be seen with incarceration
but which are highly nonspecific particularly in the setting of
generalized cirrhosis and ascites with portal hypertension.
The stomach, small and large bowel appear within normal limits.
The appendix appears normal.
CT PELVIS: Moderate-to-large ascites layers in the pelvis.
Streak artifact
from bilateral hip replacements makes evaluation of lower pelvic
structures such as the prostate and seminal vesicles and lower
part of the bladder difficult, but no definite abnormality is
identified. The bladder is poorly delineated and probably mostly
empty. There are patchy vascular
calcifications without any aneurysm. There are slightly
prominent celiac and periportal lymph nodes but none enlarged by
size criteria. The main portal vein and its major branches
appear patent, although segmental branches of the portal vein
are markedly attenuated in keeping with portal hypertension.
BONE WINDOWS: There are no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions.
Mild
degenerative changes are present along the lower lumbar facets.
Patient is
status post right hip hemiarthroplasty and left total hip
replacement.
IMPRESSION:
1. Cirrhosis with findings consistent with portal hypertension
including
splenomegaly and varices.
2. Moderate-to-large quantity of ascites.
3. Fat-containing ventral hernia with a fairly wide neck.
Although there is
increased attenuation of fat as well as a small quantity of
peripheral fluid,
which can be seen with incarceration, findings are highly
nonspecific in this
setting.

Radiology Report
CT OF THE ABDOMEN AND PELVIS
HISTORY: Cirrhosis complicated by ascites and varices, presenting with fever
and abdominal pain. Question incarcerated hernia or other nidus for
infection.
COMPARISONS: An ultrasound is available from ___ which showed
chronic fibrotic liver disease with ascites and splenomegaly. No prior CT
imaging is available.
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the abdomen and pelvis were obtained
with oral and intravenous contrast. Sagittal and coronal reformations were
also performed.
Shortly after the study, a preliminary interpretation was provided by Dr.
___:
"1. Cirrhosis with splenomegaly to 17.3 cm in portosystemic collaterals,
suggesting portal hypertension. Main portal vein, SMV and splenic veins are
patent.
2. Moderate large ascites. Superinfection in the ascitic fluid cannot be
excluded on this study. No rim-enhancing fluid collection identified.
3. Small ventral hernia with a 2.6-cm neck containing omentum and mesenteric
vessels. A small amount of free fluid is seen within it, but is nonspecific
in the setting of ascites. It does not contain small or large bowel loops.
Correlate clinically.
4. No other infectious nidus seen."
FINDINGS:

brain met felt to be causing intractable nausea/vomiting who
started fraction 1 of 5 of whole brain radiation therapy today
___ now presenting with chief complaint of nausea, vomiting
and
headache.
Pt has been admitted previously for nausea/vomiting and right
chest/back pain; pain has improved with previous course of chest
RT and she is now down to using po dilaudid only once daily. Has
also had prior admission before this decrease for opiate related
constipation which per pt is no longer an issue. Most recently
tapered post-op steroid dose and has been tolerating food and

she
initiated WBRT today (___). She went home after RT, fell
asleep

IMAGING
=======
TTE (___): FOCUSED STUDY/LIMITED VIEWS. The estimated right
atrial pressure is at least 15 mmHg. Regional left ventricular
wall motion is normal. Left ventricular systolic function is
hyperdynamic (EF>75%). Right ventricular chamber size and free
wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly
thickened. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There
is no mitral valve prolapse. There is a moderate sized
pericardial effusion. The effusion appears circumferential.
There are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. Compared with
the prior study (images reviewed) of ___, the pericardial
effusion is larger. The heart rate is faster and the rhythm
appears to be atrial fibrillation .
CXR (___): Dense left basilar opacity likely combination of
effusion with atelectasis noting superimposed infection would be
possible.
Enlarged cardiac silhouette potentially due to combination of
cardiomegaly and/or pericardial effusion. Pulmonary vascular
congestion. Enteric tube off the inferior field of view.
TTE (___): The estimated cardiac index is normal
(>=2.5L/min/m2). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The number of aortic valve leaflets cannot be
determined. Trace 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 a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. There are
no echocardiographic signs of tamponade.
IMPRESSION:
1) Trivial to very small pericardial effusion mostly located of
the basal inferolateral wall without signs of tamponade
physiology.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___,
the pericardial effusion is much smaller.
TTE (___): The estimated right atrial pressure is ___ mmHg.
Left ventricular wall thickness, cavity size, and global
systolic function are normal (LVEF>55%). The right ventricle is
mildly dilated with low normal free wall motion. The aortic
valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is
not present. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral
regurgitation. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial
effusion. There are no echocardiographic signs of tamponade. A
prominent left pleural effusion is present.
IMPRESSION: Trivial pericardial effusion.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___,
the findings are similar.
CXR (___):
IMPRESSION:
In comparison with the study of ___, the tip of the right IJ
catheter
again extends to the level of the carina in the upper to mid
SVC.
Cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable and there again is mild
vascular
congestion. Increased opacification at the left base with
obscuration of the
hemidiaphragm is consistent with pleural fluid and volume loss
in the left
lower lobe.
No evidence of acute focal pneumonia.
CXR (___):
IMPRESSION:
No pneumothorax is identified. Persisting small left pleural
effusion with
subjacent atelectasis.
CT ABD PELVIS (___):
IMPRESSION:
1. The 2 more lateral catheters in the left upper abdomen appear
in good
position. Given the thick consistency of the left upper
abdominal collection,
up sizing and repositioning the left most lateral drain can be
considered.
Another potential way of drainage would be through endoscopic
placement of a
drain through the stomach, for which gastroenterology service
consultation
would be considered to determine feasibility.
2. The most medial drain can be removed as it does not terminate
in any
collection.
3. Minimal decrease in size of left upper abdominal gas
containing collection.

GASTROINTESTINAL: Esophageal tube terminates within the third part of the
duodenum. No dilated loops of small bowel. Scattered colonic diverticulosis
without diverticulitis.
PERITONEUM: Re-demonstration of moderate-size left upper abdominal collection
containing thick material mixed with gas with interval decrease in size
measuring 14.4 x 6.8 x 9.3 cm compared to 17.6 x 7 x 11.4 cm. There has been
interval placement of a third pigtail catheter. 3 pigtail catheters present
in the left upper abdomen: Most central terminates between the liver on the
lesser curvature of the stomach (is not located within any collection) can be
removed. Lateral to it is a catheter that terminates within the left upper
abdominal collection (appears in good position) and the third most lateral
catheter, drained the most central collection (posterior to the stomach) and
coils into the left upper abdominal collection. The latter 2 catheters are in
good position. The third catheter had notable leakage around the tube. This
tube can be upsized.
Given the thick nature of the material of this collection another
consideration would be placing a drainage catheter through the stomach into
the collection endoscopically.
Posteriorly along the left diaphragmatic crus there is re-demonstration of rim
enhancing loculated collections with interval decrease in size measuring 5.2 x
3 cm compared to 7 x 3.9 cm.

IMPRESSION:
1. The 2 more lateral catheters in the left upper abdomen appear in good
position. Given the thick consistency of the left upper abdominal collection,
up sizing and repositioning the left most lateral drain can be considered.
Another potential way of drainage would be through endoscopic placement of a
drain through the stomach, for which gastroenterology service consultation
would be considered to determine feasibility.
2. The most medial drain can be removed as it does not terminate in any
collection.
3. Minimal decrease in size of left upper abdominal gas containing collection.
Up sizing the left most lateral catheter can be considered as well as
repositioning it more cranially and posteriorly.
4. Decreased size left diaphragmatic crus collections with no drains in place.
5. Decreased left side pleural fluid.

minutes during which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously
monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse.
FINDINGS:
The left upper quadrant 12 ___ drainage catheter was exchanged and a
similar ___ catheter was repositioned into a deeper portion of the
collection and approximately 30 mL of purulent fluid was aspirated. The
abscess cavity was irrigated till clear fluid return was noted.
The midline drainage catheter was not removed because of persistent purulent
fluid within the JP drain connected to this catheter.
IMPRESSION:
1. Successful CT-guided repositioning of a 12 ___ pigtail catheter into the
left upper quadrant collection. 30 mL of purulent fluid was aspirated. The
cavity was irrigated till clear fluid return noted. Postprocedure images
demonstrated a small residual collection in the most dependent portion of this
collection which as the patient moves around should be drained via the
existing position of the pigtail.
2. The midline 12 ___ drainage catheter was not removed as a small amount
of purulent fluid was noted within the JP drain connected to this catheter.
3. The patient with stood the procedure well and was transferred back to the

Radiology Report
EXAM: Chest, frontal and lateral views.
CLINICAL INFORMATION: ___ female with history of pneumonia with
increased shortness of breath.
___.
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained. A
right-sided PICC is seen, distal aspect not well appreciated, but likely
terminating in the region of the mid-SVC. In the interval since the prior
study, there has been development of consolidation in the left lower lobe and
extending into the lingula. The blunting of the left costophrenic angle is
concerning for a small pleural effusion. Subtle right basal opacity is
similar to possibly minimally improved as compared to the prior study. In the
interval since the prior study, the hila appears slightly more prominent.
Barium is seen in the partially visualized colon in the upper abdomen from
recent prior barium study.
IMPRESSION: Lingular and left lower lobe consolidation worrisome for
pneumonia, new since the prior study. New small left pleural effusion.
Subtle right basal opacity similar compared to prior. Recommend followup to
resolution.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with laparoscopic gastric band, now with
aspiration pneumonia, status post loosening of the band.
COMPARISON: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Fluoroscopic images of the gastric band were obtained before and
after oral administration of thin barium. The ingredients of the thin barium
suspension were reviewed and the suspension administered does not contain
polyethylene glycol.
FINDINGS: Scout image demonstrates residual contrast within the colon.
Contrast passes freely through the gastric band without evidence for hold-up,
leak, or malpositioning.
IMPRESSION: Normal position of the gastric band with patent stoma.
Radiology Report
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY OF THE THORAX.
INDICATION: Recurrent pneumonia.
COMPARISON: Outside hospital CT from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Volumetric CT acquisitions over the entire thorax in inspiration,
no administration of intravenous contrast material, multiplanar
reconstructions.
FINDINGS: The examination is compared to ___.
No incidental thyroid findings. A right PICC line is in place. No
supraclavicular, infraclavicular, or axillary lymphadenopathy. All
mediastinal lymph nodes, most of which have a fatty hilus, are normal in size.
The largest mediastinal lymph node is in precarinal location and has a maximum
diameter of 9 mm. No enlarged lymph nodes along the aorta and the esophagus.
The heart is borderline in size. There are relatively severe coronary
calcifications and mild aortic valve calcifications. A small pericardial
effusion is present.
The large mediastinal vessels have normal diameters, the descending aorta
shows moderate calcifications. A small hiatal hernia is present, status post
gastric banding. Contrast material in the colon. No other noticeable
pathologies in the upper abdomen.
Moderate degenerative vertebral disease but no evidence of compression
fractures or true lytic lesions. Normal appearance of the sternum. No rib
fractures.
Evaluation of the lung parenchyma is limited by moderate respiratory motion
artifacts.
A small left pleural effusion is present, the extent of the effusion is
comparable to the previous CT examination. On the right, no pleural effusion
is present but bilaterally, minimal pleural irregularities are noted (for
example on series 4, image 162 and series 4, image 133).
Overall, the lung attenuation continues to be inhomogeneous but overall
increased, with minimally increased diameters of the interstitial structures,
notably in the lung apices, where minimally thickened interlobular septa
increase the visibility of secondary pulmonary lobules (4, 47).
The areas of parenchymal abnormalities in the lingula and the left lower lobe
are almost unchanged in extent and severity. The areas of abnormality consist
of a very mixed pattern, including predominantly peribronchial consolidations,
ground-glass opacities, areas of linear atelectasis, and nodular components.
The medial aspects of the abnormalities have atelectatic parts, adjacent to
the left heart border, leading to mild volume reduction of the left
hemithorax. The airways are patent. There is no focal airway narrowing or
endobronchial lesion visible. The airways, however, generally show mild
irregularities of their walls and mild generalized thickening.
Predominating in the right upper lobe, emphysema of moderate extent is seen.
Several non-characteristic nodular lesions in the right lung show a tendency
to decrease in size as compared to the previous examination (for example on
series 4, image 66 and series 4, image 71). The biggest lesion is a 5-mm
right upper lobe ground-glass nodule (series 4, 70). Areas of atelectasis at
the right lung base are overall unchanged.
No other changes are identified.
IMPRESSION: Extensive predominantly lingular and left lower lobe parenchymal
opacity that suggests chronic infection and is accompanied by a small pleural
effusion. No morphological reason for these changes can be identified,
notably there is no evidence of focal airway narrowing or airway obstruction.
Mild chronic airways disease and moderate right upper lobe predominant
pulmonary emphysema, with several mostly ground-glass nodules (the biggest of
which measures 5 mm in diameter and is located in the right upper lobe) that
should be followed in approximately three months.
Unchanged areas of atelectasis at the right lung base.
Mild pericardial effusion, moderate-to-severe coronary calcifications. Mild
aortic valve calcifications. Right PICC line. No mediastinal adenopathy.
Status post gastric banding, mild hiatal hernia.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Status post gastric banding with persistent hypoxia and pulmonary
infiltrates. Evaluate for upper esophageal aspiration.
FINDINGS: A single view of the chest shows a persistent consolidation of the
left base, unchanged from the prior radiographs. A linear opacity at the
right base is likely atelectasis. With thin barium, multiple swallows were
performed. There is a small amount of penetration, best evaluted on the
lateral views, but no evidence of aspiration. Esophageal motility is normal.
There is no holdup of contrast at the GE junction or the gastric band.
Contrast flowed freely into the stomach.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of aspiration. Small amount of penetration.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with persistent hypoxia, unable to get V/Q or
CT scan for PE. Evaluate for evidence of DVT.
COMPARISON: None available.
TECHNIQUE: Grayscale, color Doppler, and spectral analysis of the venous
systems of both lower extremities was performed.
FINDINGS: There is normal compression and augmentation of the common femoral
veins, superficial femoral, popliteal, peroneals, and posterior tibial veins
bilaterally. There is a normal phasicity of the common femoral veins
bilaterally as well.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep vein thrombosis in either the right or the
left lower extremity.

It was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospitalization
at ___. You were admitted because of your shortness of breath
and recurrent pneumonia, which we treated with the same
antibiotics you had been getting at home. While you were here,
the bariatric surgery team was involved and removed fluid from
your lap band, which improved your symptoms and will help
decrease your risk of other pneumonias. You will remain on a
bariatric diet for 3 weeks, when you will follow up with the
bariatric team as below. While you were here, we were unable to
take you off oxygen without your oxygen levels decreasing.
Because of this, we did an ECHO (ultrasound) of your heart which
revealed high blood pressure in the arteries in your lungs
(pulmonary artery hypertension). You will need to follow up with
the lung doctors (___) as below. You then had a right
heart catheterization which showed that one of your valves is
leaky; you will need to follow up with the heart doctors
(___) as below.
In terms of your medications:
You should CONTINUE taking all your other medications as you had
been doing prior to being hospitalized. In terms of your home
oxygen, please use your pulse oximeter while you are at home. We
would like your pulse oxygen to remain above 92%. While you do
not feel short of breath when your oxygen saturation is low,
please continue taking your albuterol inhaler as needed and keep
your oxygen on. |

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: DX TIB/FIB AND ANKLE/FOOT
INDICATION: ___ woman status post fall with left distal femur
fracture, tenderness to left ankle and midfoot. Evaluate for fracture
TECHNIQUE: Left Tibia-fibula, two views
Left ankle, three views
Left foot, three views
COMPARISON: Knee and tibia fibula radiographs ___
FINDINGS:
Left tibia-fibula: There is a partially visualized total knee arthroplasty.
No fractures or dislocations.
Left ankle: No fractures or dislocations. Ankle mortise is congruent.
Left foot: There are degenerative changes throughout midfoot and the first
MTP and IP joints. There is prominent calcification along the plantar fascia.
The bones are diffusely demineralized. There are vascular calcifications.
IMPRESSION:
No fracture or dislocation.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with fall, L thigh pain // please evaluate
periprostetic fracture of distal femur
TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images of the left thigh was obtained without IV
contrast.
DOSE: No IV contrast administered.
COMPARISON: Left femur radiograph dated ___.
FINDINGS:
There is a comminuted longitudinally oriented fracture of the distal femoral
shaft with mild anterior displacement and dorsal angulation of the distal
fragment. The fracture extends distally to lie immediately proximal to the
lateral proximal edge of the femoral prosthesis component (3:144). The
intramedullary rod is intact without displacement or loosening. It courses
from posterior to anterior such that the distal tip lies along the anterior
portion of the distal femoral medullary cavity.
There is a fissure like fenestration in the anterior cortex of the proximal
femur (series 3, 47), which could represent a nondisplaced fracture, possibly
an insufficiency fracture insufficiency fracture.
The previously seen femoral mid diaphyseal insufficiency fracture is healing
with bridging callus formation and a less conspicuous fracture line.
The left knee total arthroplasty appears intact without hardware loosening or
failure.
Partially visualized left pelvis shows a small lucency in the anterior
acetabulum (04:25) which is unlikely to be a fracture since there is no
associated joint effusion or fat fluid level. Degenerative changes of the
right hip are noted. There is vacuum phenomenon in the SI joint.
The leg muscles are intact with mild diffuse atrophy, not uncommon in someone
of this age. There is small joint effusion in the knee. There is mild
vascular calcification. The partially visualized pelvis demonstrates
diverticulosis without obvious diverticulitis. There is a Foley catheter in
the bladder, with a small amount of air in the bladder. The bladder is
decompressed. No free pelvic fluid or enlarged left iliac nodes are
identified. Scattered vascular calcifications noted. Left buttock and
cracked and granuloma noted in the subcutaneous fat.
IMPRESSION:
1. Comminuted longitudinally oriented oblique fracture of the distal femoral
shaft with mild anterior displacement and dorsal angulation of the distal
fragment.
2. Small fissure-like fenestration in the anterior cortex of the proximal
femur could represent a nondisplaced incomplete fracture, likely an early
insufficiency fracture.
3. Interval healing of the known insufficiency fracture of the mid femoral
diaphysis. Faint residual linear lucency is noted.
4. Intact intramedullary rod and total knee arthroplasty. No hardware
loosening identified.
5. Linear lucency at the posterior edge of the anterior acetabular column is
noted, without other findings to suggest acetabular fracture.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: FEMUR (AP AND LAT) LEFT IN O.R.
INDICATION: LEFT FEMUR FX.ORIF

fluoroscopy time of 94 seconds. The images demonstrate the distal femoral
shaft fracture and placement of distal interlocking screws. For additional
details, please see operative report.
IMPRESSION:
As above.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: Cirrhosis with massive GI bleed of unknown etiology. Evaluation
of the liver vasculature.
TECHNIQUE: Grayscale, color, and pulse wave Doppler of the liver.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS: The liver is coarse and nodular in echotexture, consistent with
known cirrhosis. However, no focal liver lesion is identified. The main,
left, and right portal veins are patent with hepatopetal flow. The main
hepatic artery is patent with sharp systolic upstroke and antegrade diastolic
flow. The hepatic veins are patent with antegrade flow and normal waveforms.
Several stones are noted in the gallbladder. However, there is no wall
thickening or pericholecystic fluid. There is no intra- or extra-hepatic
biliary ductal dilatation and the common bile duct measures 4 mm. The spleen
is enlarged, measuring 18.9 cm. The visualized pancreas is normal. The tail
is not seen, likely due to overlying bowel gas. There is no ascites.
IMPRESSION:
1. Cirrhosis. No focal liver lesion.
2. Patent hepatic vasculature.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
It was a pleasure taking care of you at the ___
___. You were admitted for your dark
stools, fatigue, and anemia due to bleeding in your
gastrointestinal tract. We followed your blood counts closely
and had the liver doctors ___.
As you know, you were at increased risk for bleeding because of
the aspirin and Plavix you are taking for your recent stent,
which you must continue for the time-being (discuss this with
your cardiologist).
While here, you had a esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and
colonoscopy to identify sources of bleeding, which did not show
any area concerning for acute bleeding though there were large
esophageal varices (which is a complication of liver disease).
In order to keep your blood counts up, we gave you 6 units of
blood. Your blood counts were stable the last 2 days of your
hospital stay with non-bloody stools, both of which are
reassuring that you are no longer bleeding.
Unfortunately you will stay at continued risk of bleeding
because of the medications you are taking for your stent, and
therefore you must remain cautious for any sources of bleeding.
With signs of bleeding or increasing weakness, you should seek
medical care. |

CXR ___: IMPRESSION: Subtle opacity in the left lower lung is
concerning for atelectasis versus an early pneumonia.
CXR ___: IMPRESSION: Left lower lobe opacity appears minimally
improved from the prior examination however subtle streaky
opacities at the base of the left lung still persistent could
reflect atelectasis or infection in the appropriate setting.
EKG: New bIgeminy from premature atrial contractions @ 88, no ST
elevations or depressions. No T wave inversions.
TTE ___ (ON PRIOR ADMISSION):
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and
regional/global systolic function (LVEF>65%). The estimated
cardiac index is normal (>=2.5L/min/m2). Right ventricular

History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ F h/o subdural hemorrhage on ___ (resolving
on interval CT) now p/w worsening n/v, weakness. On ___, pt fell
with head strike and CT imaging revealed an 8 mm R subdural
hemorrhage w/ 5 mm of leftward shift. Interval CT since that
time has shown improvement.
Last night the patient woke up with severe headache around 2am,
she took APAP but headache did not resolve. By 4am she made the
decision to come to the ED. Per report she also vomiting 3x
times prior to admission. ROS otherwise negative for changes in
vision, tinnitus, neck pain, focal numbness or weakness. Pt had
a mild headache in the AM that was frontal, but neither sudden
nor maximal in onset. Since the AM, her HA has resolved. Patient
is on aspirin (holding since initial fall at the recommendation
of her outpatient doctors), but no other anticoagulation. Pt
took 4 mg Zofran at home before coming to the ED.
In the ED, initial vitals: 98.9 156/65 71 18 99% RA
- Labs: CBC 6.4/9.4/29.1/295, Cr 0.6, K 4.1, Lactate 1.7, INR
1.0, UA negative.
- CXR showed no acute cardiopulmonary process, CT revealed no
new hemorrhage, and there was "increased thickness of the right
hemispheric subdural hematoma with increased effacement and mass
effect of the right lateral ventricle and worsening midline
shift to the left measuring up to 8 mm, previously 4 mm."
However, neurosurg saw pt and felt that she was neurologically
intact and stable for admission to medicine for optimization of
her BP management.
- Received:
___ 12:09 IV Ondansetron 4 mg ___
___ 12:36 IVF NS ___ Started
___ 13:06 IVF NS 500 mL ___ Stopped (___)
___ 16:15 PO Acetaminophen 1000 mg ___

- In the ED, she received Zofran, tylenol, and labetalol.
- Vitals prior to transfer: 72, 123/49, 16, 100%RA
Upon arrival to the floor, pt complaining of right sided head
pain recurring. She denies vision changes, chest pain, sob,
abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting. Her daughter is at the
bedside and helps with the history. She adds that her mother is
also overall much weaker than prior without clear explantation.
Her headaches seem to be coorelated with increases in her blood
pressure. She was given a prescription for labetolol 200mg BID
after her last hiospitalization. Before she takes this
medication her SBP is 170s and after her SBP drops to as low as
80. One episodes resulted in presyncope, requiring then to place
her in ___ before she awoke. Daughter is a ___ and
is concerned about her blood pressure regimen. Prior to
admission for her initial fall she was super active and is the

COMPARISON: CT head ___
FINDINGS:
CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST:
Re-identified is acute on chronic right hemispheric subdural hematoma
measuring approximately 9 mm in greatest thickness exerting mass effect on the
adjacent brain, resulting in approximately 7 mm leftward midline shift,
unchanged from prior examination. The predominantly hypodense component
overlies the right frontal lobe. The hyperdense component overlies the right
temporal lobe. Hyperdense subdural hematoma extends along the right tentorium
(03:16) and posterior interhemispheric falx. Again seen is hyperdensity in
the region of the left cerebellar hemisphere (03:13, 12), which may represent
additional subdural hematoma, although the possibility of intraparenchymal
hemorrhage is difficult to entirely exclude.
Otherwise, there is no evidence of new hemorrhage. There is no acute
territorial infarction. Extensive atherosclerotic vascular calcifications of
the bilateral vertebral arteries are seen. The paranasal sinuses and
bilateral mastoid air cells appear clear. There is small amount of cerumen
within left external auditory canal.
CTA HEAD:
There is mild luminal narrowing of P1 segment of the left posterior cerebral
artery (7:332, 652:1). There are vascular calcifications of the V4 segments
of the bilateral vertebral arteries with mild narrowing of distal V4 segment
of the left vertebral artery. Otherwise, the intracranial vasculature appears
patent without stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm. There is hypoplastic A1
segment of the right anterior cerebral artery, likely a congenital variation.
There is fetal origin of the right posterior cerebral artery. The dural
venous sinuses appear patent.
CTA NECK:
There is atherosclerotic disease at the bilateral carotid bifurcations and
proximal internal carotid arteries resulting in approximately ___ right and
50-60% left internal carotid artery stenosis by NASCET criteria. There is
mild narrowing at the origin of the right common carotid artery. The left
common carotid artery appears patent. There is mild narrowing at the origin
of the left vertebral artery due to vascular calcification. The right
vertebral artery appears patent.
OTHER:
The thyroid gland appears unremarkable. There is subcentimeter mediastinal
lymph nodes without evidence of lymphadenopathy per size criteria. There is
ectasia of the ascending aorta measuring 3.6 cm. There are multiple calcified
right upper lobe pulmonary nodules. There is biapical opacities. Additional
parenchymal opacities are seen within the right upper lung (07:53 and 6) with
adjacent small calcific foci streak artifact related to dental hardware
obscures visualization of adjacent structures.
Right lateral clavicular fracture is re-identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. Stable bilateral subdural hematomas as described above with stable 7 mm
leftward midline shift.
2. No evidence of new hemorrhage or acute territorial infarction.
3. Mild luminal narrowing of the P1 segment of the left posterior cerebral
artery.
4. Atherosclerotic vascular calcifications of the bilateral vertebral arteries
with mild narrowing of the distal left V4 segment.

It was a pleasure to be part of your care.
You were admitted to the hospital because you were having
headaches, vomiting and erratic blood pressure at home.
We were concerned that your recent brain bleeding having
worsened. You received repeat head imaging which was evaluated
by neurosurgery and they determined that no intervention was
necessary.
Your blood pressure remained quite variable during this
admission. We adjusted your blood pressure medications to try to
maintain your systolic blood pressure between 110 and 160.
Please check your blood pressure at home and HOLD your labetalol
dose if your systolic blood pressure is <120.
If your blood pressure is dropping lower than systolic of 100 at
home or rising higher than systolic 160 at home then please call
your doctor. If you are falling down at home or your systolic
blood pressure is greater than 180 please return to the
hospital. Additionally, if your headaches worsen or you develop
new weakness or changes in sensation, please seek medical
attention immediately. Of note, your headaches or feeling of
head "pressure" will take over several weeks to resolve. Please
take Tylenol for your headache. Occasional doses of ibuprofen
(<400mg) are ok, but this should not be taken daily as it has
some risk of bleeding.

Radiology Report
CERVICAL SPINE SERIES, ___ AT 13:16
CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ with recent fall, question fracture.
AP and lateral views of the cervical spine are submitted without comparisons.
The prevertebral soft tissues are unremarkable. The C1 through C7 vertebral
bodies are visualized and there is no evidence of malalignment. There are
mild-moderate degenerative changes in the cervical spine, most marked at the
C4/C5 and C6/C7 levels where there is intervertebral disc space narrowing and
osteophytes. There are prominent facet degenerative changes of the mid
cervical spine as well. Some irregularity of the C2 spinous process is seen
but this is felt to be either related to old trauma or represent ligamentous
calcification. There is also calcification in the left lateral soft tissues
on the frontal projection, which may be carotid in etiology. The visualized
lung apices are unremarkable. If the patient has a mechanism where cervical
spine fracture is of clinical concern, further imaging with a dedicated
cervical spine CT may be helpful.
IMPRESSION:
1. Mild-to-moderate degenerative changes involving the cervical spine with no
evidence of malalignment or displaced fracture. However, as only two views of
the cervical spine were acquired, if the mechanism of injury is concerning for
cervical spine fracture, further imaging with a dedicated CT may be helpful.

You came into the hospital because you were having fevers and
chills and feeling very tired. We started you on broad spectrum
antibiotics. You had multiple tests to look for infection
including chest xray, right foot xray, abdominal CT scan, blood
and sputum cultures which showed no evidence of infection. We
had the podiatry team come evaluate your right lower extremity
wound who felt it was not infected and recommended that you
follow-up with your podiatrist when you leave the hospital. Your
fever was most likely from a viral illness. You improved and
your antibiotics were stopped because we couldn't find any
source of infection, after which you continued to feel well. You
were evaluated by physical therapy who felt you need physical
therapy at home to help improve your transfers and safety at
home.
Weigh yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD
INDICATION: Pipeline embolization of left posterior cerebral artery aneurysm.
Assess for stent thrombosis, infarct or edema around aneurysm.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal 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 as well as sagittal T1.
Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal
orientations.
COMPARISON: Outside hospital MR head ___. CTA head ___.
CT head ___.
FINDINGS:
There is susceptibility artifact from a pipeline stent within left posterior
cerebral artery for embolization of a previously noted left PCA aneurysm.
There is a 1.4 x 1.3 cm left posterior cerebral artery aneurysm with areas of
intrinsic T1 hyperintensity and susceptibility artifact denoting clot
formation. Peripheral enhancement around the aneurysm, likely represents
vessel wall enhancement. In stent thrombosis cannot be assessed on the
included sequences, however enhancement is noted in the P2 segment of the
posterior cerebral artery, just distal to the stent.
There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, masses, mass effect, midline shift
or infarction. The ventricles and sulci are normal in caliber and
configuration. Few, scattered areas of bifrontal subcortical white matter
T2/FLAIR hyperintensity are nonspecific, likely representative of chronic
small vessel ischemic disease. There is no abnormal enhancement after
contrast administration. The dural venous sinuses are patent on MP rage
images. The principal intracranial vascular flow voids are preserved.
The paranasal sinuses are grossly clear. The orbits are grossly unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Pipeline stent embolization of a 1.4 x 1.3 cm left posterior cerebral
artery aneurysm demonstrating internal clot and probable peripheral vascular
wall enhancement, without definite evidence of residual flow to the aneurysm.
Though in stent thrombosis cannot be excluded on the basis of this
examination, there is no secondary evidence for in stent thrombosis. No edema
is seen around the aneurysm.
2. No hemorrhage, infarct, or enhancing mass.
RECOMMENDATION(S): If dedicated assessment for in stent thrombosis is
desired, MRA of the head with and without gadolinium can be obtained, or
alternatively CTA of the head.

Chief Complaint:
near-syncopal event
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
___ male with CLL on ibrutinib, CAD/HLD with NSTEMI in
___, nonischemic cardiomyopathy, CKD stage III, depression,
presenting with presyncope and fall
with humeral fracture, with elevated troponin in the emergency
room.
He describes a recent history over about ___ year of postural
lightheadedness (says dizziness but clarifies the room is not
but
that he feels off-balance), and several falls. He reports his
last major fall prior to tonight was ___ when he stood
up
suddenly and was rushing to get the door - fell backwards as
soon
as he opened it. Have had other falls onto his knees. Reports a
negative w/u and had an unremarkable cardiac event monitor
around
that time. He also had his cath (described below) then.
Prior to present admission, he got home and noticed it was quite
hot in the house. He disrobed and turned on the AC and was
planning to lay down until it had turned on, but was worried he
would fall asleep so he stood up suddenly; he felt lightheaded
when he got to the cabinet and took the medicine, but as he
reached for water he blacked out (but did not lose
consciousness)
and fell backwards; he was aware of what was happening and did
not strike his head but fell on his left arm and immediately
noticed it was damaged.
He had no chest pain, pressure, palpitations, dyspnea, or other
symptoms with the event.
When I spoke with patient, he said he did not have LOC. His
Flomax was recently increased to BID which he says has helped a
lot. He notices his lightheadness only after standing up
abruptly. After the fall, he developed left shoulder pain which
he says is sharp intermittent and worsened with movement without
radiation.

profound fatigue, shortness of breath and dizziness. She is
unable to ambulate safely at home due to lightheadedness.
The patient contacted her PCP ___ (HCA) on ___ to report
hoarseness x 3 weeks without any associated symptoms of URI. At
the time she also reported increasing dizziness and a recent
fall on ___ at which time she hit her leg and fell on her
coccyx. She started using her walker consistently due to
dyspnea on exertion.
For the last two days she has had worsening dyspnea and
increased orthopnea. She has had increased home O2 requirement
from 2 to 4 L NC. Her chronic cough is unchanged,
non-productive. She denies fever, chills, sweats. She does
endorse weight loss of 20 pounds in the last 3 months, possibly
partially due to poor appetite. She denies any worsening ___
edema, but does note some unilateral leg tenderness in her left
calf. She has had vague chest discomfort with deep inspiration.
No hemoptysis. She called her PCP office again today given
concern for dyspnea and being unable to ambulate safely at home
___ lightheadedness; she was referred to the ED.
Of note, the patient was admitted to this facility in ___

and tigecycline due to an extensive history of reactions to abx
including quinolones and penicillins. She was switched to
aztreonam and doxy for 10 day course. She was discharged on RA.
At that time, a left atrial clot was noted and she was started
on Lovenox anti-coagulation. Repeat CTA chest in ___ was
negative for PE, thus her Lovenox was stopped. This CT also

in ___ and a left mastectomy in ___, and she had no
postmastectomy radiation therapy.
After her initial diagnosis of lung cancer in ___, she
underwent a left upper lobectomy for stage IA non-small cell
carcinoma of the lung; she had no postoperative adjuvant
radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
- ___: developed cough
- ___: CT chest showed a 1.9 x 1.2 cm right upper lobe lung
mass, which was suspicious for carcinoma. PET-CT on ___
showed a 1.3 x 1.1 cm right upper lobe lung lesion with an SUV
of 11.7; there were no FDG avid mediastinal or hilar lymph
nodes, and there were no liver, adrenal, or bone metastases.
Ms. ___ was evaluated by Dr. ___ consideration
of treatment of what appeared to be a right upper lobe lung
cancer. Since she was not a good candidate for surgical
treatment (DLCO was 41% of predicted), she underwent CT guided
biopsy that showed mucinous lung adenocarcinoma, acinar pattern,
moderately differentiated, and subsequently underwent CK
radiation to the lesion.
- CyberKnife SBRT to the right upper lobe lung adenocarcinoma to
a dose of 55 Gy given in five fractions of 11 Gy each completed
on ___.
- ___ repeat chest CT showed progression of the mass-like
consolidation around the fiducial marker and new multiple right
lung nodules is either cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
(perphaps triggered by radiation therapy) or unusually
aggressive recurrent lung cancer. Repeat imaging and PET
scanning planned as outpatient with follow-up appt in ___.

It was a pleasure caring for you at ___
___. You came to the hospital with shortness of
breath, fatigue, and dizziness. We were concerned for pneumonia
and treated you with IV antibiotics. A CT of your chest showed
no sign of pneumonia, so antibiotics were stopped. You had a
bronchoscopy to better understand what is causing your symptoms.
The results of these tests will be available by next week. This
is likely progression of your underlying lung cancer.
During your stay you had difficulty with anxiety. We recommend
that you use your medications to help control this problem,
which can make your breathing harder. Please discuss your
anxiety with your therapist.
While you were in the hospital, we noticed several short periods
of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. You were
previously on a medication called atenolol which we switched to
a similar medication metoprolol, which will better help to
control your heart rate. This irregular heartbeat can put you at
risk of forming blood clots, which increases your risk of
stroke. You had a blood clot in your heart in ___ for
which you were treated with Lovenox. To avoid forming similar
clots, you decided to start taking a blood thinning medication
called coumadin (warfarin). This medication requires regular
monitoring that can be done by the Rehab facility. Dr ___
___ help manage this medication after you leave the facility.
Thank you for allowing us to participate in your care. |

HISTORY OF PRESENTING ILLNESS: Ms. ___ is a ___ year old woman,
with past history of ulcerative colitis s/p colectomy with ileal
pouch anal anastomosis, c/b pouchitis (on Vedolizumab,
budesonide), primary sclerosing cholangitis, GERD, Bipolar
Disorder, and PTSD, who is presenting today for evaluation of
abdominal pain.
Patient reports that she has been having increased right lower
quadrant pain since the end of ___. Patient reports that this
has been worsened specifically over the past week, with
bloating, flank pain, and breast pain on the right side, as well
as nausea/vomiting. She has also been experiencing some
increased urinary retention, without dysuria, and has been
trying to manage the pain at home. Patient initially thought
this was similar to pouchitis that she has had previously, and
was hospitalized for this but did not have any relief. Given
that the pain was not improving, and patient was having
worsening symptoms with inability to tolerate significant PO
intake, patient was seen in the ED. Notably, patient has been
evaluated about 2 weeks ago by her GYN for peritoneal inclusion
cysts, and underwent ultrasound on ___, which was remarkable
for continued chronic 11 cm periotoneal inclusion cyst, without
significant change, extended into the left hemipelvis and
insinuates around the urinary bladder. Patient reports that she
has had this drained by ___ in the past to help relieve symptoms.
She describes that she feels "full of fluid", no other symptoms.
She states that over the past week, she has been not able to
tolerate PO intake, feels nauseated most of the day. She has not
been able to tolerate PO intake, with pain in the lower
quadrant, and she has been vomiting all night.
Notably, patient was recently hospitalized from ___.
At that time, patient was having BRPBR, nausea, worsening
abdominal pain, and concerning for pouchitis. Patient had flex
sigmoidoscopy and MRE at that time, and prescribed 10%
hydrocortisone into pouch. Patient was continued on home
budesonide, added hydrocortisone foam, and vedolizumab and
probiotic and home reglan. Since, then patient had her last
Vedolizumab infusion on ___. She also was seeing her OB/GYN
for fertility in the setting of ovarian cysts and recurrent
peritoneal inclusions cysts. At that visit, reviewed complex
adnexal cyst potentially representing a hemmhoragic ovarian
cyst, and was planning to have repeat ultrasound of the pelvis.
She underwent this on ___, and showed a right ovary noted to
be surrounded by adhesions and fluid reflecting a peritoneal
inclusion cyst, measuring up to 11 cm largest in diameter, and
not significantly changed from prior MRI. The right peritoneal
inclusion cysts extends into the left hemipelvis and insinuates
around the urinary bladder.
Patient has also had previous drainages by ___, with prior
placement of an US Pigtail catheter in ___, and with
peritoneal inclusion cysts she usually has discomfort, urinary
retention, loose stools and dyspaurenia.

IMAGING:
___ Imaging PELVIS, NON-OBSTETRIC: 4 cm right adnexal
hypoechoic cystic structure, unclear, possibly representing
previously drained right lower quadrant cyst. If further
delineation is desired, MRI would provide further assessment.
Small amount of free fluid may be minimally complex, difficult
to discern whether truly free-fluid or if represents previously
described residual peritoneal inclusion cyst.
___ Imaging PERC IMAGE GUID FLUID C;
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 5 ___ ___ needle
was inserted into the cyst. Approximately 150 cc of clear
straw-colored fluid was aspirated.
The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate
post-procedural complications.
SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering
divided doses of 3.5 mg Versed and 100 mcg fentanyl throughout
the total intra-service time of 43 minutes during which
patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by
an independent trained radiology nurse.
FINDINGS: Limited postprocedural ultrasound demonstrates near
complete resolution of the right lower quadrant cyst.
IMPRESSION: Successful US-guided aspiration of a right lower
quadrant cyst with 150 cc of clear straw colored fluid removed.
___ Imaging PELVIS, NON-OBSTETRIC:
The uterus is anteverted and measures 6.7 x 4.0 x 4.8 cm. The
endometrium is
homogenous and measures 15 mm. Stable 2.2 cm posterior
subserosal fibroid.
The left ovary is again surrounded by a small amount of
loculated fluid reflecting a peritoneal inclusion cyst,
previously drained. The right ovary is also noted to be
surrounded by adhesions and fluid reflecting a peritoneal
inclusion cyst, measuring up to 11 cm in largest diameter, not
significantly changed from prior MRI (up to 11 cm). This right
peritoneal inclusion cyst again extends into the left hemipelvis
and insinuates around the urinary bladder. The ovaries are
otherwise unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: No significant change in right peritoneal inclusion
cyst extending into the left hemipelvis and measuring up to 11
cm.
Fibroid uterus.
___ Imaging MR ENTEROGRAPHY ___: Status post total
colectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis with mild pouchitis.
There is no abscess, fistula, or stricture. There are bilateral
fluid-filled tubular structures which likely represent
hydrosalpinx. There is also a moderate amount of free-fluid in
the pelvis which conforms to the peritoneal reflections, likely
due to a peritoneal inclusion cyst.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: ULTRASOUND-GUIDED ASPIRATION
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with known cyst// Drainage of cyst
COMPARISON: Prior ultrasound dated ___
PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided drainage of a right lower quadrant cyst.
OPERATORS: Dr. ___, radiology fellow and Dr. ___, attending
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 5 ___ ___ needle was inserted
into the cyst. Approximately 150 cc of clear straw-colored fluid was
aspirated.
The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate post-procedural
complications.
SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of
3.5 mg Versed and 100 mcg fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of
43 minutes during which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously
monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse.
FINDINGS:
Limited postprocedural ultrasound demonstrates near complete resolution of the
right lower quadrant cyst.
IMPRESSION:
Successful US-guided aspiration of a right lower quadrant cyst with 150 cc of
clear straw colored fluid removed.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: PELVIS, NON-OBSTETRIC
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with history of inclusion peritoneal cyst now
s/p drainage.// repeat eval of cyst
TECHNIQUE: Grayscale ultrasound images of the pelvis were obtained with
transabdominal approach followed by transvaginal approach for further
delineation of uterine and ovarian anatomy.
COMPARISON: ___
FINDINGS:
The uterus measures 9.1 x 4.0 x 5.0 cm. The endometrium is homogenous and
measures 10 mm. In the right adnexa, it potentially internally associated
with the right ovary is a 4.0 x 2.2 x 1.5 cm hypoechoic cystic structure. The
ovaries are normal in size. Arterial and venous waveforms were demonstrated
over both ovaries with pulsed spectral Doppler. Some free fluid is seen,
which may be minimally complex; difficult to discern whether truly free-fluid
or previously described residual peritoneal inclusion cyst.
IMPRESSION:
4 cm right adnexal hypoechoic cystic structure, unclear, possibly representing
previously drained right lower quadrant cyst. If further delineation is
desired, MRI would provide further assessment.
Small amount of free fluid may be minimally complex, difficult to discern
whether truly free-fluid or if represents previously described residual
peritoneal inclusion cyst.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR ___
INDICATION: ___ year old man with Crohn's disease
TECHNIQUE: T1 and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen and pelvis
were acquired within a 1.5 T magnet, including 3D dynamic sequences performed
prior to, during, and following the administration of 0.1 mmol/kg of Gadavist
intravenous contrast ( cc). Oral contrast consisted of 900 mL of VoLumen.
COMPARISON: Multiple prior abdominal CTs and MRIs dating from ___, the most recent from ___.
FINDINGS:
MR ENTEROGRAPHY:
The patient is status post right hemicolectomy, with ileocolonic anastomosis
identified within the right upper quadrant.
The remaining small bowel demonstrates normal peristalsis and distensibility
throughout. There is no segmental wall thickening, hyperenhancement or edema.
No mesenteric fibrofatty proliferation or inflammatory changes noted within
the small bowel.
The study is not intended to evaluate the colon given lack of a colonic prep.
While the colon is incompletely distended, there is mild circumferential wall
thickening and mucosal hyperenhancement of the descending colon (05:33),
sigmoid and rectum. This does not result in significant surrounding edema or
hyperemia. The transverse colon is spared. No extraluminal fluid collection
or fistula is identified.
MRI OF THE ABDOMEN WITH AND WITHOUT IV CONTRAST:
Visualized portions of the liver demonstrate normal morphology and enhancement
pattern. There is low parenchymal signal on Fiesta sequences suggestive of
hepatic steatosis, although confirming and quantifying sequences are not
acquired as part of the enterography protocol. There is no focal lesion. The
patient is status post cholecystectomy. Intra and extrahepatic biliary tree is
unchanged in appearance with mild extrahepatic prominence (common hepatic duct
measuring 12 mm).
Pancreatic parenchyma maintains normal bulk, intrinsic hyperintense T1 signal
and enhancement pattern. There is no ductal abnormality.
The spleen and adrenal glands are unremarkable. There are tiny bilateral
simple renal cysts, none with concerning features. The largest is noted at the
inferior pole of the right kidney with a diameter of 14 mm.
There is no lymphadenopathy or ascites.
Arterial vascular anatomy is conventional. Venous structures are widely
patent.
Visualized osseous structures are unremarkable.
Note is made of a small fat containing periumbilical hernia.
MRI OF THE PELVIS WITH AND WITHOUT IV CONTRAST:
No free pelvic fluid or lymphadenopathy is noted.
The urinary bladder, visualized portion of the prostate gland and seminal
vesicles are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
Mild proctocolitis extending from the splenic flexure to the rectum. No
active inflammation of the small bowel or complication of transmural disease.

Chief Complaint:
Back pain, T12 osteomyelitis.
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
___: Bilateral psoas muscle abscess drainage
___: Diagnostic Spinal Angiogram
___: Corpectomy T11/12 and PSF T9 to L2, chest tube

History of Present Illness:
___ year old gentleman with h/o IVDU, recent SBO with ostomy,
chronic back pain with multiple disk herniations and recent hx
T12 osteomyelitis treated with ___ weeks vancomycin in ___, who is transferred to ___ from ___ with evidence of
progression of osteomyelitis with associated with paraspinal
abscesses.
In ___ s/p surgery for SBO, post-op course was complicated by
persistent MRSA bacteremia with a MRSA UTI. TEE and TTE did not
show endocarditis. He was treated with IV vancomycin and
gradually defervesced. An 8 week course of antibiotics was
planned as an inpatient (___ not trusted with patient's history
of recent IVDU-last reported IVDU in ___. Patient became
frustrated with hospital and left AMA after several weeks.
He felt well until ___ when he developed worsening back pain
and gradual immobility ___ to pain primarily. At ___ he was
found to have destructive T12 osteomyelitis. He was treated with
?8 weeks of IV antibiotics. After his treatment, he returned
home but has felt that his back pain and bilat ___ weakness has
been progressively worsening.
Three days PTA he had CT imaging showing severe T12
degeneration, MRI performed which showed " progression of
diskovertebral osteo, complete destruction of T12, retropulsion,
kyphotic deformity; LOH @ L1 and T11; epidural collection,
likely abscess, resulting in cord compression, ? incr signal at
T10-T11, probable bilat focal psoas abscesses and abnormal
prevertebral soft tissues; unable to tolerate additional imaging
and gad not given/con phase not performed". He was transferred
here after discussing with Dr. ___ spine surgeon. Has had
some urinary incontinence in recent days but attributed this to
being in so much pain he could not get up to go to bathroom. He
was given IV vanc at ___ ED, bcx drawn. He had
a fluctuating exam with ___ L dorsiflexion, R knee flexion and
extension, rectal tone intact. Pt thinks "possible" numbness,
has trouble specifying.
In the ED, labs were significant for CRP of 256. UA with many
bacteria. Spine/Neurosurgery was consulted who felt that he as
neurologically intact with full strength and that symptoms were
likely from pain. They recommended MRI for possible surgical
planning. Multiple trips to MRI were attempted but aborted by
pain. Imaging revealed total destruction of T12 with bulging
epidural abscess with diskitis. Probably sudural abscess with
retrocrural extension. Bilateral opacities in lung
(atelectasis). Increased interstial edema. He was given IV
dilaudid, klonopin, Ativan, ondansetron.

SPINE CT W/O CONTRAST ___:
1. Osseous destruction and complete collapse of the T12
vertebral body, with
bulging soft tissue density material surrounding this area of
osseous
destruction. The posterior soft tissue at the T12 level is
highly concerning
for an epidural collection.
2. Additional osseous destructive changes are seen in the
inferior endplate of
the T11 vertebral body, as well as the superior endplate of the
L1 vertebral
body.
3. Peripherally enhancing centrally hypodense lobulated
collections are seen
within the bilateral psoas muscles, centered about T12,
extending caudally
into the retrocrural space. These collections are consistent
with abscesses.
4. Bibasilar consolidations in the lungs may represent
atelectasis, however
pneumonia cannot be completely excluded.
5. Increased prominence of the interstitial markings in the lung
bases is
concerning for pulmonary edema.
MRI SPINE ___:
1. Discitis/osteomyelitis with abscess formation and resultant
near-complete
destruction of the T12 vertebral body and adjacent T11-12 and
T12-L1
intervertebral discs.
2. Extension of infection posteriorly represents anterior
epidural phlegmon.
There is resultant compression and cord signal abnormality the
extending from
T11 to the conus, concerning for new/worsening cord compression.
3. No definite abscess or drainable fluid collection within the
epidural
space.
4. Extension of infection to involve the prevertebral and
bilateral paraspinal
musculature from T9-L2/3. In particular, multiloculated psoas
abscesses are
larger since prior measuring up to 3.6 cm, as above.
5. Possible focus of osteomyelitis in the posterior aspect of
the T10
vertebral body, likely secondarily involved via extension from
the adjacent
paraspinal musculature. The T10-11 intervertebral disc is
normal in
appearance.
PRE-OP CHEST X RAY ___:
Cardiomediastinal contours are normal. Nonspecific patchy and
linear
opacities at the right lung base are probably due to atelectasis
although
coexisting aspiration or developing infectious pneumonia are
possible in the
appropriate clinical settings. Known T12 lesion is seen to
better detail on ___ dedicated spine MRI study.
==OTHER RESULTS==
EKG ___:
Sinus rhythm with normal intervals and no diagnostic
abnormalities. No
previous tracing available for comparison.
PSOAS ABSCESS DRAINAGE ___:
32 mm right and 20 mm left psoas fluid collections. The
remaining foci of
collections were not completely discernible due to lack of
contrast and better
delineated on previous CT and MRI. Destruction T12 vertebral
body with moderate erosions of inferior T12 endplate
and superior L1 endplate.
Complete drainage of bilateral psoas abscesses yielding purulent
fluid. No
drainage catheters were left.
CXR ___
Cardiomediastinal contours are normal. Nonspecific patchy and
linear
opacities at the right lung base are probably due to atelectasis
although
coexisting aspiration or developing infectious pneumonia are
possible in the appropriate clinical settings. Known T12 lesion

Echo ___
No echocardiographic evidence of endocarditis or pathologic
flow. Normal biventricular cavity sizes with preserved global
and regional biventricular systolic function. Mildly dilated
ascending aorta.
The patient has a mildly dilated ascending aorta. Based on ___
ACCF/AHA Thoracic Aortic Guidelines, if not previously known or
a change, a follow-up echocardiogram is suggested in ___ year; if
previously known and stable, a follow-up echocardiogram is
suggested in ___ years.
Angio ___
Left T10-L1 segmental artery arteriogram did not show
significant supply to spinal cord. Artery of ___ was
not visualized in the above segmental vessels.
CXR ___: Small left apical pneumothorax
CT Cspine w/wo ___: Expected postoperative appearance
status post T11/___ corpectomy with extensive posterior spinal
fusion. The left pedicle screw at T11 level projects over the
left lateral recess. Clinical correlation recommended. There
is no evidence of hardware failure and the spinal alignment
appears anatomic. However, evaluation of the adjacent soft
tissues is severely limited secondary to extensive
hardware-related streak artifact.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT L-SPINE W/ CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with known severe degenereation of ___ osteo, surrounding
abscesses // Eval for bony erosion, superior extension of abscesses
TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast helical multidetector CT was performed after the
intravenous administration of 100 mL of Omnipaque contrast agent. Soft tissue
and bone algorithm images were generated. Coronal and sagittal reformations
were then constructed.
DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 1,190 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Reference MRI of the lumbar spine dated ___.
FINDINGS:
There is near complete osseous destruction and complete collapse of the T12
vertebral body as seen on recent MRI from an outside hospital consistent with
osteomyelitis. Destructive changes also involve the inferior endplate of T11
and the superior endplate of L1. There is perivertebral soft tissue
thickening with discrete rim enhancing fluid collections in the paravertebral
space extending inferiorly along the upper portion of the psoas musculature.
The largest right-sided collection measures 7.1 x 3 x 2.5 cm. The largest
left-sided collection measures 3.4 x 3.5 x 1.5 cm. There is soft tissue
thickening along the central spinal canal spanning T11 through L1 which may
represent an epidural collection. Due to destructive changes in the T11
through L1 vertebral bodies there is a mild kyphotic angulation centered at
this level.
There is compressive lower lobe atelectasis in the lower lungs with mild
septal thickening which may indicate mild pulmonary edema. Scattered
prominent retroperitoneal lymph nodes are likely reactive. The kidneys
enhance homogeneously, without hydronephrosis, definite stones, or mass
lesions. The adrenal glands are normal in size and shape. Imaged bowel is
grossly unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Vertebral osteomyelitis and diskitis at the thoracolumbar junction with
complete destruction of the T12 vertebra, also involving the inferior endplate
of T11 and the superior endplate of L1.
2. Perivertebral soft tissue thickening with probable epidural abscess. MRI
may be performed to further evaluate.
3. Perivertebral abscesses extend into the upper psoas musculature, detailed
above. These may be amenable to percutaneous drainage.
4. Opacities in the lower lungs likely represent atelectasis less likely
pneumonia. Septal thickening suggests mild interstitial pulmonary edema.
NOTIFICATION: Impression was discussed with Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ by
phone at 12:30am on ___ approximately 45 minutes after discovery.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRI THORACIC AND LUMBAR PT6 MR SPINE

images obtained after the uneventful intravenous administration of 6 mL of
Gadavist contrast agent.
COMPARISON: MRI L-spine ___.
FINDINGS:
The T12 vertebral body demonstrates near complete destruction and collapse.
Intrinsically T1 isointense and heterogeneous, mixed T2 hypo- and hyperintense
material occupies much of the T11- L1 interval, replacing the normal T12
vertebral body and T11-T12 and T12-L1 intervertebral discs, and demonstrates
heterogeneous enhancement following contrast administration (series 16, image
7 and 8). There are areas of non-enhancement internally, compatible with
mixed phlegmon and multifocal abscesses, the largest of which measures 4.3 x
2.1 x 1.7 cm (TV by CC by AP). A T1 and T2 hypointense, nonenhancing focus
posteriorly likely represents residual necrotic T12 vertebral body (series 3,
image 8).
There is bulging of the enhancing material posteriorly into the anterior
epidural space; in particular, an irregular enhancing soft tissue collection
posteriorly, anterior to the spinal cord within the epidural space, measures
6.7 cm in craniocaudal extent, concerning for anterior epidural phlegmon. A
tiny focus of non enhancement internally is millimetric in size, possibly a
developing focus of abscess, but there is no drainable fluid collection. There
is resultant mass effect on the spinal cord (see series 16, image 8 and series
7, image 31), with worsening heterogeneous T2 cord signal abnormality
extending from T11 to the conus medullaris, concerning for new/worsening cord
compression.
Again seen is involvement/extension of infection into the bilateral paraspinal
and psoas musculature. In particular, T2 hyperintense collections within the
psoas muscles are larger, currently measuring 3.3 x 2.5 cm on the right
(series 7, image 35, previously 2.5 x 1.6 cm on ___ and 3.6 x 1.6 cm on
the left (series 7, image 37, previously 1.8 x 1.7 cm). These appear
continuous with the adjacent process centered on the T12 vertebral body, and
likely reflect extension of infection and resultant psoas muscle abscesses.
Overall, the extent of paraspinal musculature involvement extends from T9 to
L2/3.
A focus of intrinsically T1 hypointense, T2 hyperintense and enhancement of
the posterior T10 vertebral body, without signal abnormality of the
intervening T10-11 intervertebral disc, may represent secondary osteomyelitis
of the posterior T10 vertebral body via extension from paraspinal musculature.
The remaining thoracolumbar vertebral bodies demonstrate normal alignment.
There are minimal multilevel posterior disc bulges within the lumbar spine
without resultant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. The remaining
thoracolumbar intervertebral discs demonstrate normal signal intensity.
IMPRESSION:
1. Discitis/osteomyelitis with abscess formation and resultant near-complete
destruction of the T12 vertebral body and adjacent T11-12 and T12-L1
intervertebral discs.
2. Extension of infection posteriorly represents anterior epidural phlegmon.
There is resultant compression and cord signal abnormality the extending from
T11 to the conus, concerning for new/worsening cord compression.
3. No definite abscess or drainable fluid collection within the epidural
space.
4. Extension of infection to involve the prevertebral and bilateral paraspinal
musculature from T9-L2/3. In particular, multiloculated psoas abscesses are
larger since prior measuring up to 3.6 cm, as above.
5. Possible focus of osteomyelitis in the posterior aspect of the T10
vertebral body, likely secondarily involved via extension from the adjacent
paraspinal musculature. The T10-11 intervertebral disc is normal in
appearance.

COMPARISON: MR thoracic spine ___, CT interventional procedure ___
FINDINGS:
There are 12 rib-bearing vertebrae.
T12 vertebral body is nearly completely destroyed, as seen previously. Small
posterior remnant of T12 vertebral body is sclerotic, with sclerosis extending
into the bilateral pedicles. There is destruction of the T11 inferior
endplate and L1 superior endplate with irregular sclerotic margins. There is
a kyphotic angulation centered at T12. The prior MRI better demonstrates the
abscess spanning the T11-T12 disc, T12 vertebral body remnant, and T12-L1
disc. The prior MRI also better demonstrates the epidural phlegmon centered
at T12 with associated spinal canal narrowing.
T1 through T10 vertebrae demonstrate normal vertebral body heights without
evidence for osseous destruction. Of note, T10 vertebral body demonstrated in
a area of marrow edema on the recent MRI.
Images through the lower cervical spine demonstrate right greater than left
central disc osteophyte complex causing moderate spinal canal stenosis at
C6-7, with left greater than right neural foraminal narrowing due to
uncovertebral osteophytes at C6-7 right C7-T1 neural foramen is mildly
narrowed by facet arthropathy.
Small Schmorl's nodes are present at multiple mid and lower thoracic levels.
Significant decrease in size of the multiloculated right psoas fluid
collection now measuring 1.5 x 1.1 cm (previously 1.9 x 1.4 cm) along its
largest component. Left psoas fluid collection also appears decreased.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ year old male well known to the
Transplant Surgery service who underwent a DDLT in ___ for
HCV cirrhosis and HCC and has a had a prolonged postoperative
course complicated by hepatic artery thrombosis with hepatic
lobe
necrosis, early mild to moderate cellular rejection, infected
biloma with recurrent bacteremia, multiple intraabdominal
collections, several ___ interventions, and a right iliacus
hematoma causing RLE compression paralysis, resolved with ___
drainage and multiple hospitalization. He was most recently
admitted ___ for failure to thrive and acute SDH
after several falls at home. He was also noted to have increased
fluid collections and underwent ___ drainage exchange of existing
left hepatic lobe drain with ___ APDL. He was continued on
pre-admission Daptomycin and Cefepime.
Today, he presented to for scheduled CT scan to evaluate his
known collections. At the appointment his Cr was elevated to
7.3. He was sent to the ED for hyperkalemia management. His
repeat K was decreased to 6.9 upon presentation. In the ED renal
transplant was consulted and they recommend he receive calcium
gluconate, insulin/dextrose, sodium bicarb, and 20 IV Lasix. His
repeat K was 6.4, however he had not the sodium bicarb and lasix
at this point. He is receiving sodium bicarb (150 in D5W) and 20
lasix then we will plan to repeat again once he has received
these medications. He reports eating a diet rich in tomatoes/red
sauce and potatoes over the last few days. He continues to have
some output from his known abscess cavity, requiring emptying
his
bag approximately every other day. He reports he had been
working
with ___ at rehab but it continues to weakness and pain in his
RLE
which he developed after he developed a right iliacus hematoma.
He denies any other symptoms including fevers, chills, cough, or
urinary symptoms.

COMPARISON: Multiple prior examinations and CT
TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ Interventional ___
performed the procedure.
ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of
50mcg of fentanyl and 1 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service
time of 9 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were
continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine
was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site.
MEDICATIONS:
CONTRAST: 10 ml of OPTIRAY contrast
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 2 min, 6 mGy
PROCEDURE:
1. Cholangiogram through existing right percutaneous transhepatic biliary
drainage access.
2. Exchange of the existing right percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage
catheter with a new 10 ___ anchor catheter.
3. Sinogram through existing left drain
4. Exchange of left drain to a 10 ___ APD L
PROCEDURE DETAILS:
Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the
procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient
was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table.
A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol.
Both tubes were injected. The ___ BD catheter was cut and ___ wire
introduced into the bowel. Then, a sheath was placed in a cholangiogram
performed. This demonstrated brisk flow of contrast into the
hepaticojejunostomy. Again this was performed different angulations, but
again brisk pearl was noted. There was no hang-up of contrast. Therefore the
decision was made to leave an anchor drain. The sheath was removed and a 10
___ anchor drain was placed. The anchor was formed in the drain secured to
the skin with a suture and StatLock.
The sinogram through the existing left-sided drain demonstrated a small
residual cavity but communication with the biliary tree. This 12 ___ drain
was downsized to a 10 ___ drain. This drain was secured to the skin with 0
silk sutures and a StatLock. This drain was attached to a bag.
FINDINGS:
Brisk flow of contrast through the hepaticojejunostomy with no holdup. Anchor
drain placed. Down size of left hepatic drain given CT findings in sinogram
findings from today.
IMPRESSION:
Drain exchanges as above.

TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ Interventional ___ and
Dr. ___ fellow performed the procedure. The
attending(s) personally supervised the trainee during any key components of
the procedure where applicable and reviewed and agrees with the findings as
reported below.
ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of
100mcg of fentanyl and 2 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service
time of 55 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were
continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1%
lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the
access site.
MEDICATIONS: 1 g IV ceftriaxone pre-procedure
CONTRAST: 20 ml of Optiray contrast
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 12.4 minute, 198 mGy
PROCEDURE:
1. Scout radiograph image of the indwelling drains
2. Antegrade cholangiogram through the indwelling anchor drain.
3. Drain check injection through the existing percutaneous drain in the
hepatic collection
4. Over the wire Pull-back cholangiogram via the right PTBD
5. Balloon angioplasty of the hepaticojejunostomy using a 6 mm Conquest
balloon
6. Post HJ plasty antegrade cholangiogram
7. New right 10 ___ biliary internal-external drainage catheter.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed
supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___
protocol. The right/mid abdomen was prepped and draped in the usual sterile
fashion.
Initial scout images showed biliary drain in the appropriate position. Both
drains were injected with dilute contrast. The images were stored on PACS.
Following the subcutaneous injection of 1% lidocaine and instillation of
lidocaine jelly into the skin site, the right catheter was cut and an Amplatz
wire was advanced through the catheter into the jejunum. Antegrade and pull
back cholangiogram was then performed with findings as outlined below.
Cholangioplasty was performed at multiple stations across the
hepaticojejunostomy in the region of the narrowing using 6 x 4 Conquest
balloons. The balloon and sheath were then removed over the wire and a 10
___ percutaneous trans hepatic biliary drainage catheter was advanced into
the jejunum. Side holes were positioned above and below the level of the
stenosis to facilitate internal drainage. The wire and inner stiffener were
removed, the catheter was flushed, the loop was formed, the catheter was
attached to a bag and sterile dressings were applied.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no immediate
post-procedure complications.
FINDINGS:
1. Scout radiograph demonstrated the existing drains to be in stable position.
2. Injection through the existing hepatic collection drain demonstrated
opacification of the biliary system, suggestive of a communication.
3. Over the wire antegrade and pull-back right cholangiograms demonstrated
narrowing at the region of the hepaticojejunostomy.
4. Antegrade cholangiogram through the right biliary access from showed
external leakage of contrast around the perihepatic drain.
5. Successful plasty using a 6 mm Conquest balloon at the region of the
hepaticojejunostomy.
6. Successful exchange of the existing right external biliary drain to a 10
___ internal-external biliary drain.
