Attending: ___.
Chief Complaint:
Syncope
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
___ yo male with h/o HTN, HLD, diabetes, moderate aortic stenosis
and ___ who presented with dizziness and an episode
where he lost consciousness.
His story begins last night, when he was eating dinner with his
daughter on his way to visit his wife in rehab. On his way, he
felt SOB and hot and diaphoretic. When they checked his blood
sugar and blood pressure at rehab, they were wnl. He then went
home, and sat down on his bed because he felt lightheaded. He
remembers his daughter saying she was going to call ___, but the
next thing he remembers, he had vomited all over himself and his
daughter says his whole body shook for 5 seconds, with his legs
going up in the air. He felt fine after this episode, although
he has no recollection of the episode itself. During this time,
he had no SOB, no CP, nausea, no palpitations. No belly pain
aside from a little bit of gas pain. He had been constipated,
but no diarrhea. He endorses not drinking much water generally,
and preferring coffee and diet coke. He denies incontinence,
tongue biting, or a post ictal state. No changes in vision,
hearing, sensation, or motor function. No palpitations.
After the aforementioned episode, the patient presented to
___, where he had a head CT and a CTA of the
chest/abdomen/pelvis. The latter showed a non-occlusive
thromboembolic lesion in the proximal SMA. He was started on a
heparin drip and the patient was transferred to ___ for
treatment for mesenteric ischemia. At ___, troponins were
within normal limits, lactate was slightly elevated at 2.3, and
glucose was within normal limits. Creatinine was high at 1.3.
The patient does endorse baseline SOB with walking, dizziness
when he stands up too quickly, and intermittent chest pain (no
radiation or associated diaphoresis/SOB) mostly associated with
walking that self resolves. No h/o palpitations. No loss of
balance. No dysuria, recent illnesses, or sick contacts. No
fevers or chills. No h/o seizures. Only previous episode that
may have been like this was when he was ~___ and was digging for
clams, and forgot where he was briefly. He does report "slowing
down" in the past few years and reports mild R leg swelling in
the setting of a recent Achilles' tendon injury.
The patient was transferred to ___ due to concern for SMA
thrombus and initially was admitted to the vascular service. The
vascular team reviewed the imaging and felt that the
presentation may have been more consistent with SMA dissection.
They recommended keeping the patient NPO and keeping heparin
gtt. The patient was transferred to the medicine service for
further workup of syncope.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: DUPLEX DOPP ABD/PEL
INDICATION: ? Small thrombus or dissection
TECHNIQUE: Gray scale, color, and spectral Doppler evaluation of the abdomen
was performed.
COMPARISON: Reference CT torso ___.
FINDINGS:
Grayscale color and spectral Doppler images were obtained of the mesenteric
arteries and veins.
The main portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow.
The superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein are both patent with appropriate
direction of flow.
The celiac artery is patent with a normal waveform and a peak systolic
velocity of 97 cm/sec.
Evaluation of the superior mesenteric artery demonstrates a visible narrowing
proximally with no hemodynamically significant stenosis (maximal velocities of
190-220 cm/sec.). There was likely a dissection at some point approximately
2-3 cm from the origin of the aorta and some bidirectional flow is identified
but no increase in velocity. Flow distally to this area is normal. The peak
systolic velocity is 220 centimeters/second which is within the normal range.
Celiac artery is also normal in appearance and velocity profile.
IMPRESSION:
No hemodynamically significant stenosis in either the superior mesenteric
artery or celiac artery. There is likely evidence of a prior dissection in
the superior mesenteric artery approximately 2-3 cm from the origin of the
aorta with demonstration of bidirectional flow. Flow is normal distally to
this area and there is no increase in velocity.

You were admitted to ___ after you had an
episode where you lost consciousness, were shaking, and vomited.
You first went to ___, where a CT of your head looked
normal but a potential blood clot in the vessels going to your
bowel was seen on a CT scan. To treat this, you were transferred
to our hospital.
When you arrived here, you felt fine, and had no abdominal pain,
chest pain, shortness of breath, or lightheadedness. However,
your labs did suggest you were dehydrated, so we started you on
fluids delivered through your vein. Meanwhile, the vascular
surgery team saw you and suggested we start you on a blood
thinner delivered through your vein. Because your blood pressure
was low initially, we did not give you your blood pressure
medications while you were in the hospital.
We also got a picture of your heart called an "Echo," which
showed that the valve through which blood flows from your heart
to your body is severely narrowed. You should follow up with
your cardiologist about this.
Finally, we got an ultrasound of the vessels in your belly,
which showed a small tear in one of the vessels. To avoid a clot
forming within this tear, we started you on a blood thinner
called XXX.... You should take this medication every day, and
follow up with our vascular surgeons in one month about any
further testing and whether you need to continue your blood
thinners. You should also start taking your aspirin every day.
When you go home, you should make sure to stay hydrated. You
should also follow up with your primary care doctor and
cardiologist.
It was a pleasure taking care of you!

TECHNIQUE: Grey scale as well as color and spectral Doppler ultrasound images
of the renal transplant were obtained.
COMPARISON: Ultrasound from ___
FINDINGS:
The right transplant renal morphology is normal. Specifically, the cortex is
of normal thickness and echogenicity, pyramids are normal, there is no
urothelial thickening, and renal sinus fat is normal.
Moderate to severe right hydronephrosis is increased from prior. The tip of
the stent is seen within the transplant pelvis and within the bladder. Again
seen is a perinephric fluid collection consistent with hematoma superior and
medially to the transplant kidney measuring approximately 11.9 x 5.1 x 2.3 cm,
previously 4.9 x 1.4 x 5 cm.
The resistive index of intrarenal arteries ranges from 0.77 to 0.84,
previously 0.77 to 0.78. The main renal artery shows a normal waveform, with
prompt systolic upstroke and continuous antegrade diastolic flow, with peak
systolic velocity of 125 centimeters/second. Vascularity is symmetric
throughout transplant. The transplant renal vein is patent and shows normal
waveform.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderate-to-severe hydronephrosis, increased from prior. A ureteral stent
is in place with proximal and distal tip seen within the renal pelvis and
within the bladder.
2. Perinephric fluid collection consistent with hematoma measuring up to 11.9
cm, previously 4.9 cm.
3. Elevated resistive indices ranging from 0.77 to 0.84, similar to prior.

elevated creatinine and new hydro of transplant kidney// Please assess for
continuing evidence of hydro in transplant kidney after placement of Foley
catheter
TECHNIQUE: Grey scale as well as color and spectral Doppler ultrasound images
of the renal transplant were obtained.
COMPARISON: Renal transplant ultrasound ___
FINDINGS:
The right iliac fossa transplant demonstrates moderate hydronephrosis which is
slightly decreased compared to prior. A ureteral stent is identified within
the renal pelvis and proximal ureter. The bladder is decompressed and the
distal tip of the stent and Foley catheter are not well visualized. The renal
cortex is of normal thickness and echogenicity, there is no urothelial
thickening, and renal sinus fat is normal. A perinephric fluid collection is
re-demonstrated measuring 11.3 x 1.2 x 6.9 cm (previously 11.9 x 2.3 x 5.1
cm).
The resistive index of intrarenal arteries ranges from 0.70 to 0.78, within
the elevated range previously 0.77-0.84. The main renal artery shows a normal
waveform, with prompt systolic upstroke and continuous antegrade diastolic
flow, with peak systolic velocity of 137 cm per second. Vascularity is
symmetric throughout transplant. The transplant renal vein is patent and shows
normal waveform.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderate hydronephrosis is re-demonstrated and slightly decreased compared
to prior ultrasound. A ureteral stent is visualized within the renal pelvis,
the distal tip is not well-visualized due to the decompressed bladder.

It was a pleasure to take care of you at ___.
WHY WAS I HERE?
You were admitted to the hospital because you had chest pain and
were found to have a very low blood count
WHAT WAS DONE WHILE YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL
- You were given blood transfusions to help improve your blood
count
- You had imaging of your heart which showed that your heart was
not pumping that well
- You had an upper endoscopy which showed that you had an ulcer
and a polyp which may have been the cause of your very low blood
count
- You had a cardiac catheterization which showed a blockage of
one of the arteries around the heart, so a stent was placed and
you were started on medications to help keep this artery open.
- You had pain and swelling in your joints and were treated with
steroids and pain medications.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I GET HOME?
1) Follow up with your Primary Care Doctor and Cardiologist
2) It is very important that you take your aspirin and plavix
every day
3) Please do not take indomethacin or any other NSAIDs
4) Weigh yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more

slipped, and denies that his symptoms were related to antecedent
illness. However, he has missed his last 2 dialysis sessions. He
reports had been getting progressively swollen, and he has been
waking from sleep short of breath. He had nausea and vomiting 2

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 CT scan table with the head
slightly tilted to the left. Limited preprocedure CTscan of the intended
biopsy area was performed. Based on the CT findings an appropriate position
for the biopsy was chosen. The site was marked.
The site was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 1% lidocaine
were administered to the subcutaneous and deep tissues for local anesthetic
effect. Under CT guidance, a 11 gauge coaxial needle was introduced into the
lesion in C3 vertebral body. An 13 gauge core biopsy device was used to
obtain two core biopsy specimens, which were sent for pathology.
The procedure was tolerated well and there were no immediate post-procedural
complications.
DOSE: Found no primary dose record and no dose record stored with the sibling
of a split exam.
!If this Fluency report was activated before the completion of the dose
transmission, please reinsert the token called CT DLP Dose to load new data.
SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of
2.5 mg Versed and 100 mcg fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of

RELEVANT IMAGING
===================
CXR ___
Moderate pulmonary vascular congestion. Redemonstrated evidence
of
interstitial lung disease.
ABD US ___
No ascites seen in the abdomen.
TTE ___
The left atrial volume index is moderately increased. The right
atrium is mildly enlarged. There is no evidence for an atrial
septal defect by 2D/color Doppler. There is normal left
ventricular wall thickness
with a normal cavity size. There is normal regional and global
left ventricular systolic function. Quantitative 3D volumetric
left ventricular ejection fraction is 60 % (normal 54-73%). Left
Ventricular cardiac index is normal (>2.5 L/min/m2). There is no
resting left ventricular outflow tract gradient. Normal right
ventricular cavity size with normal free wall motion. The aortic
sinus diameter is normal for gender with a normal ascending
aorta diameter for gender. The aortic arch diameter is normal
with a normal descending aorta diameter. There is no evidence
for an aortic arch coarctation. The aortic valve leaflets (3)
are mildly thickened. 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 an
eccentric,
anteriorly directed jet of mild to moderate [___] mitral
regurgitation (could be artifact from aortic flow - but less
likely). Due to the Coanda effect, the severity of mitral
regurgitation could be
UNDERestimated. The pulmonic valve leaflets are normal. The
tricuspid valve leaflets appear structurally normal. There is
mild [1+] tricuspid regurgitation. There is moderate pulmonary
artery
systolic hypertension. The end-diastolic PR velocity is elevated
suggesting pulmonary artery diastolic
hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal left ventricular wall thickness and
biventricular cavity sizes and regional/global biventricular
systolic function. Likely mild-moderate mitral regurgitation
with normal valve morphology. Moderate pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension.

Per chart review, patient was diagnosed with RML pneumonia in
___ and was treated with levofloxacin. Repeat CXR on ___
showed cardiomegaly and persistent lingual infiltrate which
prompted a CT scan. CT chest showed large pericardial effusion.
Pt was referred to cardiology clinic. TTE in clinic revealed a
very large concentric pericardial effusion, with flow variation
across the tricuspid valve (___) but not the mitral valve,
with early tamponade physiology and brief, mild diastolic RV
wall invagination. IVC with blunted respirophasic response,
suggestive of mildly elevated right atrial pressure and
tamponade. There was no significant pulsus paradoxus in clinic
and his blood pressure was actually elevated. Pt was admitted
for a pericardiocentesis which was done ___. 1L straw color
fluid removed during the procedure with an opening pressure was
12, down to mean of 0 after fluid was removed. An Echo was done

Conclusions
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and
regional/global systolic function (LVEF>55%). The estimated
cardiac index is normal (>=2.5L/min/m2). There is a moderate (50
mmHg peak) resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal.
The aortic root is mildly dilated at the sinus level. The aortic
valve leaflets (?#) appear structurally normal with good leaflet
excursion. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation.
There is systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve leaflets.
The pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined.
There is a small to moderate sized pericardial effusion most
prominent (1.5cm) inferolateral and lateral to the left
ventricle
and very mild (<0.5 cm) elsewhere.. There are no
echocardiographic signs of tamponade.
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Small to moderate
pericardial effusion without echocardiographic evidence for
hemodynamic compromise. Mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy with preserved regional and global biventricular
systolic function. Moderate resting LVOT obstruction/gradient.
Mildly dilated aortic sinus.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___,
the pericardial effusion is now much smaller.
Serial evaluation is suggested.
___ ECHO
Pre-tap:
Severe pericardial effusion without over signs of pericardial
tamponade.
Post-tap:
Small pericardial effusion after removal of 1 L of pericardial
fluid. Normal biventricular global systolic function
___ ECHO
Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%).
The right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with mild global
free wall hypokinesis. There is borderline pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. There is a small to moderate sized
circumferential pericardial effusion. Stranding is visualized
within the pericardial space c/w organization. No right atrial
or
right ventricular diastolic collapse is seen. There is
significant, accentuated respiratory variation in
mitral/tricuspid valve inflows, consistent with impaired
ventricular filling.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___,
the size of the pericardial effusion is similar in limited
views.
Respiratory variation in the tricuspid valve inflows are noted
(prior echo however did not interrogate this region well for
adequate comparison). The right ventricle now appears mildly
dilated with mild free wall hypokinesis (previously normal).

pinching sensation at the left AC joint. Over the next two
hours, the pain spread to involve the supraclavicular region and
left lateral chest, and was worse with deep inspiration. He also
noted numbness and heaviness of the left arm. He also felt cold.
He felt that he was mentating normally, and had no visual
changes, other weakness or numbness, HA, or facial droop. No CP
or dyspnea. He texted a friend, who recommended he come to the

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: History: ___ with left arm numbness and b/l nystagmus // r/o
ischemic lesion?
TECHNIQUE: MDCT data were acquired through the head without intravenous
contrast. Images were displayed in multiple planes.
DOSE: DLP: 892 mGy-cm
CTDI: 54 mGy
COMPARISON: Sinus CT ___
FINDINGS:
There is no hemorrhage, major vascular territorial infarction, mass, or shift
of the normally midline structures. The size and shape of the ventricles and
sulci are normal. The differentiation of grey and white matter is preserved.
A 7 mm "filling defect " in the left transverse sinus is compatible with an
arachnoid granulation.
Postsurgical changes to the paranasal sinuses reflect prior uncinectomy,
inferior ethmoidectomy and medial antrostomies, and middle turbinectomies.
There is extensive mucosal thickening of the bilateral maxillary and ethmoid
sinuses, with evidence of chronic osteitis involving the included portion of
the maxillary sinus lateral walls. The left sphenoid sinus is completely and
the right sphenoid sinus is nearly completely opacified. There are mucus
retention cysts in the bilateral frontal sinuses. The visualized mastoid air
cells and middle ear cavities are clear. There is no fracture.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial process. MRI is more sensitive for acute ischemia.
2. Bifrontal cortical atrophy, allowing for the patient's age.
3. Extensive paranasal sinus inflammatory disease, status post sinus surgery,

IMAGING
=======
CT ___ w/o Contrast (___) impression:
1. Multiple brain lesions with edema suggesting metastases. MRI
with contrast is recommended for further evaluation.
2. There is mass effect including left frontoparietal sulcal
effacement,
partial effacement of the left lateral ventricle and
approximately 4 mm of
left-to-right midline shift. The basilar cisterns appear
patent.
MR ___ w/o contrast (___) impression:
1. Multiple predominantly left hemispheric ring-enhancing
lesions with varying degrees of surrounding vasogenic edema
suggestive of metastatic disease, as above.
2. There is mass effect including partial effacement of the left
occipital
horn and 6 mm left-to-right midline shift.
Chest PA & Lat XRay (___) impression:
Essentially complete opacification of the left upper lobe.
Given that the trachea is shifted toward the right(opposite
side), this is worrisome for a space occupying process such as
large consolidation and/or mass, with possibly some underlying
atelectasis, but the major factor is space-occupying.
CT Chest w/Contrast (___) impression:
Large 17 cm left mid and upper lobe mass with areas of central
necrosis,
mediastinal shift towards the right and invasion into the left
upper lobe pulmonary artery and bronchi, highly concerning for
malignancy with associated lung collapse. Tissue diagnosis is
recommended.
PET-CT (___)
IMPRESSION: 1. 15.3 x 7.5 cm FDG avid left lung necrotic mass
involving the left pulmonary artery. Multiple large FDG avid
mediastinal nodes and left supraclavicular nodes are consistent
with metastasis. 2. Known left lower renal pole hypoattenuating
lesion seen on recent CT from ___ demonstrates
increased FDG uptake with SUV max of 10.7. Findings again could
represent metastasis or primary renal malignancy. Infection is
considered less likely. Multiple FDG avid left para-aortic
nodes are concerning for metastasis.
3. Two of the known brain lesions are noted with increased
peripheral FDG
uptake in the left occipital lobe lesion. Left frontal lobe
lesion demonstrates possibly faint peripheral increased FDG
uptake as well. Both with central necrosis.

COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There is a large hypodense region in the left frontal and parietal lobes with
mass effect on the left lateral ventricle, effacement of the left
frontoparietal sulci and approximately 4 mm left-to-right midline shift. The
left frontoparietal hypodensity is predominantly subcortical with cortical
sparing, consistent with vasogenic edema. There is a rounded isointense focus
within the high parafalcine left frontal lobe measuring approximately 2.5 cm
AP x 2.4 cm TRV x 2.8 cm SI (2:24) as well as a ovoid hyperdense region in the
left parietooccipital lobe (2:16), which are suspicious for underlying mass
lesions. Additionally, a small ill-defined hypodensity is noted within the
right frontal lobe in the region of the gray white interface (2:19). MRI with
contrast is recommended for further evaluation, specifically to evaluate for
underlying mass lesions/metastatic disease.
There is no evidence of hemorrhage, hydrocephalus or infarction. The basilar
cisterns are patent.
The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle
ear cavities are clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are normal.
IMPRESSION:
1. Multiple brain lesions with edema suggesting metastases. MRI with contrast
is recommended for further evaluation.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST ___ MR HEAD.
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with newly found brain mass on CT. // Addendum
aspirating/vasogenic or cytotoxic edema.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of 7 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: Head CT dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Multiple ring-enhancing lesions are noted bilaterally with surrounding
vasogenic edema suggestive of metastatic disease. The largest of these is
centered in the left occipital lobe measuring 5.6 cm AP x 3.3 cm TRV x 3.8 cm
SI. The second largest ring enhancing, centrally necrotic lesion is noted in
the high left frontoparietal region, which measures 3.7 x 2.3 x 2.9 cm with a
6 mm satellite lesion near its superior margin (6:23). Additional smaller
ring-enhancing lesions measure 6 x 6 mm at the left insular gray-white
junction (10:98),, 1.0 x 1.0 cm in the left frontal lobe (10:95) and 1.5 x 1.6
cm in the anteroinferior left frontal lobe (10:85), and 5 x 6 mm in the right
frontal lobe (10:134). There is mass effect with partial effacement of the
left lateral ventricle occipital horn, left parieto-occipital sulcal
effacement, and approximately 6 mm of left to right midline shift. The
basilar cisterns are patent. Punctate focus of restricted diffusion at the
superior aspect of the high left parietal mass likely reflects microvascular
compromise (25:302).
There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage or territorial
infarction. There is no evidence of hydrocephalus. There is no abnormal
enhancement after contrast administration.
The orbits and globes appear within normal limits. There are mild ethmoid
sinus mucosal inflammatory changes.

Final Report
HISTORY: Shortness-of-breath and pleuritic chest tightness.
Question
pulmonary embolism.
COMPARISON: Prior trachea CT from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained from the
suprasternal
notch to the upper abdomen in early arterial phase scanning
after the
administration of Omnipaque IV contrast. Multiplanar
reformatted images in coronal, sagittal and oblique axes were
generated.
FINDINGS:
CTA THORAX: The aorta and main thoracic vessels are well
opacified. The
aorta demonstrates normal caliber throughout the thorax without
intramural hematoma or dissection. The pulmonary arteries are
opacified to the subsegmental level. There is no filling defect
in the main, right, left, lobar or subsegmental pulmonary
arteries. However, evaluation is somewhat limited by the
timing of bolus contrast.
CT OF THE THORAX: The heart size is normal. The airways are
patent to the subsegmental level. There are scattered small
mediastinal lymph nodes, none of which meet CT size criteria for
lymphadenopathy. There is no hilar or axillary lymph node
enlargement by CT size criteria. The heart, pericardium and
great vessels are within normal limits. As seen on prior CT,
there is redemonstration of mild cylindrical bronchiectasis most
prominent in the lower lobes. There is a moderate-sized right
sided pleural effusion, partially loculated apically, with
associated compressive atelectasis in the right lower lobe.
Although this study is not designed for assessment of
intra-abdominal
structures, the liver demonstrates fatty deposition. Note is
made of a small hiatal hernia. Otherwise, the visualized solid
organs and stomach are unremarkable.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No focal osseous lesion concerning for
malignancy.
IMPRESSION:
1. No pulmonary embolism or acute cardiopulmonary process.
2. Moderate right-sided pleural effusion, partially loculated
apically, with associated right lower lobe compressive
atelectasis.
3. Redemonstration of mild cylindrical bronchiectasis, most
prominent in the lower lobes.
4. Hepatic steatosis.
5. Small hiatal hernia.

Radiology Report
AP CHEST, 5:12 P.M. ON ___
HISTORY: A ___ woman with a right pleural effusion after
thoracentesis, rule out pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___:
Changing contour of the right lung base is presumably an indication of
decreased right pleural effusion due to interval thoracentesis. There is new
focal opacity in the right upper chest at the level of the first anterior
interspace. This could be loculated pleural fluid seen on the chest CTA
___. I don't see the region well enough to exclude pneumothorax, and
therefore when feasible, conventional chest radiographs should be obtained.
Heart is normal size. Left hemithorax unremarkable aside from mild basal
atelectasis. The right lower lobe lung lesion, probably focal atelectasis,
seen on the chest CT is also barely visible.

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Patient with shortness of breath and left lower quadrant
abdominal pain, evaluate for diverticulitis and pulmonary embolism.
COMPARISON: None available.
TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT scan of the torso was done following the
intravenous administration of 100 cc of Visipaque. Multiplanar reformatted
images in coronal and sagittal axes were generated. Oblique MIPs were
prepared in an independent work station for the chest.
DLP: 1637 mGy-cm
FINDINGS:
CT CHEST: Some hypodense material is noted within the dependent portion of
the trachea and right and left main stem bronchus, possibly due to aspiration.
The airways are otherwise patent to the subsegmental level. There is no
mediastinal, hilar or axillary lymph node enlargement by CT size criteria.
Atherosclerotic calcifications are noted in the coronary arteries. There is
no pericardial effusion.
Lung windows moderate bullous emphysema, predominantly at the apices. There
are multiple consolidations seen within the right upper and bilateral lower
lobes, which may be due to aspiration or infection. There is also loss of
volume in the right lower lobe with a component of scarring at the right lung
base. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is present.
CTA CHEST: Limited evaluation due to transient interruption of contrast from
influx of non-opacified blood from the IVC. The aorta demonstrates normal
caliber throughout the thorax without intramural hematoma or dissection. No
filling defect is seen within the right or left main pulmonary artery, but the
lobar, segmental, and subsegmental arteries cannot be assessed.
CT ABDOMEN: Evaluation of the intra-abdominal organs are limited secondary to
motion, but the liver, spleen, pancreas, and adrenals are grossly
unremarkable. Patient is status post cholecystectomy. Numerous hypodensities
are noted within bilateral kidneys, not fully assessed due to motion, but
likely represent cysts. No pelvicaliceal dilatation or perinephric
abnormalities are present. The stomach, duodenum and small bowel are within
normal limits, without evidence of wall thickening or obstruction. The colon
is non-dilated without evidence of obstructive lesions. The appendix is
normal.
The aorta contains severe atherosclerotic calcification but is of normal
caliber without aneurysmal dilatation. The IVC and major abdominal vessels
are patent. There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymph node enlargement.
No ascites, free air or abdominal wall hernias are noted.
PELVIC CT: Evaluation is limited secondary to streak artifact from bilateral
hip arthroplasty hardware. Foley catheter is noted within the bladder. No
pelvic wall or inguinal lymph node enlargement is seen.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There are numerous bilateral rib deformities with
dystrophic bridging calcifications. Multiple compression deformities of the
thoracic and lumbar vertebrae are noted, which do not appear to be acute.
There is also dextroscoliosis of the lumbar ___ at L3 level. No
blastic or lytic lesion suspicious for malignancy is present.
IMPRESSION:
1. Nondiagnostic study for pulmonary embolism as the lobar, segmental, and
subsegmental pulmonary arteries were not assessed. No pulmonary embolus is
seen within the left or right main pulmonary artery.
2. Multifocal consolidations in the right upper and bilateral lower lobes
which may be due to aspiration or infection with superimposed scarring in the
right lower lobe.
3. Mildly limited assessment of the abdomen secondary to motion. No acute
intra-abdominal pathology to explain the patient's left lower quadrant pain.
4. Multiple compression deformities of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae,
which do not appear to be acute. Correlate clinically with history and
symptoms.
Radiology Report
AP RADIOGRAPH OF THE PELVIS AND LEFT HIP RADIOGRAPH
CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ male with pneumonia, leukocytosis, status
post left hip replacement with hip pain.
TECHNIQUE: AP radiograph of the pelvis and multiple radiographic views of the
left hip.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Bilateral total hip arthroplasties are visualized, the right incompletely. No
acute fracture or definite hardware complication is seen. No definite signs
of periprosthetic loosening are identified. Mild degenerative changes present
within bilateral inferior sacroiliac joints with spurring. Mild-to-moderate

Studies:
___ Stress Echo:
The patient exercised for 10 minutes 25 seconds according to a
___ protocol ___ METS) reaching a peak heart rate
of 110 bpm and a peak blood pressure of 166/60 mmHg. The test
was stopped because of fatigue. This level of exercise
represents a good exercise tolerance for age. In response to
stress, the ECG showed no diagnostic ST-T wave changes (see
exercise report for details). The blood pressure response to
exercise was normal. There was a blunted heart rate response to
stress [beta blockade].
Resting images were acquired at a heart rate of 56 bpm and a
blood pressure of 106/60 mmHg. These demonstrated regional left
ventricular systolic dysfunction with apical aneurysm/mild
dyskinesis and severe hypokinesis/akinesis of the distal septum,
anterior and inferior walls. The remaining segments contracted
wel (LVEF = 35-40 %). Right ventricular free wall motion is
normal. There is no pericardial effusion. Doppler demonstrated
no aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation or significant mitral
regurgitation or resting LVOT gradient.
Echo images were acquired within 57 seconds after peak stress at
heart rates of 92 - 76 bpm. These demonstrated no new regional
wall motion abnormalities. Baseline abnormalities persist with
appropriate augmentation of other segments. There was
augmentation of right ventricular free wall motion.
IMPRESSION: Good functional exercise capacity. Non-specific ECG
changes with 2D echocardiographic evidence of prior myocardial
infarction (mid-LAD distribution) without inducible ischemia to
achieved workload. Blunted heart rate response to physiologic
stress.

level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
You were hospitalized due to symptoms of 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, prior history of strokes, family history of
strokes, and smoking.
Of note, you were also found to have a urinary tract infection
and we would like you to take an antibiotic called Ciprofloxacin
HCl 250 mg twice for one more day.
Otherwise we are not making any changes to your medication at
this time. However, you were previously told that you should
switch to Plavix and we encourage you to discuss this with Dr.
___ neurologist.
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

History of Present Illness:
___ woman with PMHx notable for chronic thoracic
myelopathy, recurrent UTIs, infectious endocarditis, diastolic
heart failure, diabetes, HTN, HLD who was discharged one day ago
after a 10-day admission for MRSA bacteremia with planned 6 week
course of vancomycin. She presented from her rehab facility due
to fever to 100.7F.
She receives monthly steroids for her myelopathy and initially
presented on ___ with lower extremity weakness, difficulty
transferring and a recent fall at home. It was felt her exam was
at baseline and she was found to have MRSA growing in 1 set of
blood cultures drawn on admission. It was unclear whether this
set was drawn peripherally or from her port, and subsequent sets
were negative. ID was consulted who recommended a 6 week course
of vancomycin ___, and recommended changing her port. The
surgeon who placed her port (___) was concerned about
difficulty replacing it due to her anatomy and it was ultimately
left in place with vancomycin locks. She underwent a TEE that
showed no vegetation and MR ___ given prior L3-L5
decompression and
L4-L5 fusion with screws in place that did not show any fluid
collection. In discussion with her outpatient neurologist it was
decided to hold her monthly steroid injections during her MRSA
treatment.
In the ED, initial vitals were: 98.3 88 150/79 18 96% RA. Exam
notable for bilateral lower extremity weakness that improved.
IV/VI systolic murmur.
- Labs notable for: Hgb 7.5, WBC 14, lactate 1.1, Flu negative
- Imaging was notable for: retrocardiac opacity, more pronounced
on the current examination than on the priors, may be compatible
with pneumonia in the appropriate clinical context.
- Patient was given: Vancomycin and cefepime
Upon arrival to the floor, patient reports feeling completely
well. Other than the fever (which she did not notice aside from
the measurement) she has no complaints today. Specifically
denies any subjective fever, chills, chest pain, dyspnea, cough,
congestion, abdominal pain, N/V. Ostomy stool output is similar
to her baseline right now.

EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP)
INDICATION: ___ with respiratory distress, tx for PNA// eval PNA
COMPARISON: None
FINDINGS:
AP portable upright view of the chest. Overlying EKG leads are present.
Motion artifact limited exam. There is bilateral diffuse ground-glass opacity
which is concerning for pulmonary edema, though a subtle superimposed
pneumonia is impossible to exclude. No large effusion is seen. No
pneumothorax. Cardiomediastinal the heart size is grossly normal. The
mediastinal contour is slightly prominent likely reflecting a slightly
tortuous thoracic aorta. Bony structures appear intact.
IMPRESSION:
Bilateral ground-glass opacities noted diffusely most suggestive of pulmonary
edema though a component of edema not excluded.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CTA CHEST WITH CONTRAST
INDICATION: Mr. ___ is a ___ male with hx of COPD on 3L of home O2, pHTN,
valvular disease, dementia, and recent admission for PNA (treated with
levofloxacin), who was admitted to the MICU with acute hypoxic failure and
fevers, concerning for COPD exacerbation secondary to pneumonia vs pulmonary
edema. After broad antibiosis and diuresis, his respiratory status is now
stable for the floor. // Eval for PE
TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax
after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast. Reformatted
coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal intensity
projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 2.3 s, 30.9 cm; CTDIvol = 5.6 mGy (Body) DLP = 174.1
mGy-cm.
2) Stationary Acquisition 0.6 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 0.9 mGy (Body) DLP = 0.4

3) Stationary Acquisition 2.4 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 3.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 1.7
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 176 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None
FINDINGS:
HEART AND VASCULATURE:
No evidence of a pulmonary arterial embolus. Evaluation of small vessels is
limited by motion.
The ascending aorta is normal in caliber. Aortic arch is mildly ectatic
without evidence of aneurysm. Minimal atherosclerotic calcifications are seen
along the descending aorta without evidence of aneurysm or mural thrombus.
There is no evidence of aortic dissection. The great arch vessels show normal
configuration and caliber.
The heart is mildly enlarged. There is no pericardial effusion.
AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: No axillary, mediastinal, or hilar
lymphadenopathy is present. No evidence of a mediastinal mass. The esophagus
is mildly ectatic.
PLEURAL SPACES: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
LUNGS/AIRWAYS: The trachea appears patulous, that may relate to
tracheobronchomalacia. Mucus impaction is noted in lower lobe bronchi
bilateral. There is mild bronchiectasis throughout the lungs. Moderate to
severe centrilobular emphysematous changes are present predominantly in the
upper and mid lungs. Marked bilateral airspace opacification are noted
dependently in the lower lobes as well as to a lesser degree in the dependent
aspect of the upper lobes highly suggestive of aspiration/aspiration
pneumonia. A cluster of small nodules vs a single lobulated nodule in the
right middle lobe (301:139) measures up to 7 mm is most likely
infective/inflammatory
BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality.
ABDOMEN: A 1.4 cm area of low density is identified at the anterior superior
aspect of the left hepatic lobe (2:95, 602:41), most likely related to partial
volume averaging. Otherwise the included upper abdomen is unremarkable.
BONES: No suspicious osseous abnormality is seen.? Bridging osteophytes are
noted throughout the thoracic spine. There is no acute fracture.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of pulmonary arterial embolism. Evaluation of segmental and
subsegmental arterial branches is limited by motion artifact. No thoracic
aortic aneurysm, dissection or intramural thrombus.
2. Mucous plugging/aspirate in the lower lobe bronchi with associated marked
dependent airspace consolidation predominantly in the lower lobes as well as
to a lesser degree in the upper lobes with the distribution highly suggestive
of massive aspiration/aspiration pneumonia.
3. Moderate centrilobular emphysema.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP)
INDICATION: ___ w/ h/o COPD on 3L of home O2, pHTN, valvular disease,
dementia, and recent admission for PNA (treated with levofloxacin), who was
admitted to the MICU with acute hypoxic respiratory failure and fever, w/ CT
findings c/f aspiration PNA. // ? aspiration vs. acute process
TECHNIQUE: AP portable chest radiograph
COMPARISON: ___
FINDINGS:
Diffuse bilateral airspace opacities are again visualized likely reflecting
aspiration/pneumonia. This is superimposed on a background of emphysema.
There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The size of the cardiac
silhouette is at the upper limits of normal.
IMPRESSION:
Diffuse bilateral airspace opacities are not significantly changed when
compared to the prior CT chest given differences in technique. These are
suspicious for aspiration/pneumonia.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Right internal jugular central line placement (___) and
removal (___)
History of Present Illness:
___ PMH HTN, CAD, p/w dyspnea, productive cough and
fatigue/dizziness for ___ days. He complains of a chronic cough
for the past 2 months, which acutely worsened over the past
several days. The patient stated that for ___ days he has had
dyspnea at rest that is associated with productive cough. He
describes the quality as greenish in nature. In addition, the
patient is complaining of worsening BLLE swelling (R>L) for the
past several years. He denied fevers/chills, chest pain,
orthopnea, PND and palpitations. He denies sick contacts and
recent travel. Per family at bedside, the patient refuses to go
outside during the winter for fear of falling. They were
attempting to convince him to visit his PCP for the worsening
BLLE, however, he believed that due to his insurance, he was
unable to see his PCP. The patient was transported via EMS to
the
ED.
In the emergency department, he was found to be hypotensive and
tachycardic, but was saturating at 100%. His exam was notable
for
bilateral lower extremity edema and bibasilar crackles. A proBNP
was significantly elevated to 6766 and was diuresed with IV
Lasix. A chest xray was also concerning for a lobar pneumonia
and
the patient was started on ceftriaxone and azithromycin. Shortly
after receiving IV Lasix, the patient developed hypotension, was
given a bolus of fluid and started on levophed. Subsequently,
the
patient developed afib with RVR. Levophed was held, but the
patient had persistent hypotension and tachycardia to 150-170's.
Cardiology was consulted, the ED and Cards decided to add
esmolol
for rate control and continue levophed for pressure management.
A
CT was also performed with concern for PE. It revealed a PNA,
but
no evidence of PE.
In the ED, initial vitals were: Temp 98.3, HR 112, BP 105/70, RR
18 100% RA
- Exam notable for: bilateral crackles, BLLE swelling R>L,
systolic murmur.
- Labs notable for: BUN/Creat 36/1.5, H/H 10.9/33.7, proBNP
6766,
trop plateau at 0.03.
- Imaging was notable for: CT:
-- Right lower lobe bronchus is focally narrowed secondary to
diffuse
bronchial wall thickening. Bibasilar right greater than left
atelectasis with a right lower lobe bronchopneumonia. No
evidence
of PE.
- Patient was given:
-ASA 81mg
-Losartan Potassium 50mg
-Omeprazole 20mg
-Prazosin 2mg
-Furosemide 40mg
-Ceftriaxone 1gm IV
-Azithromycin 500mg IV
-Norepinephrine 0.03-0.25mcg
-Esmolol 50-150mcg/kg/min
Upon arrival to the ICU, patient reports significant symptomatic
improvement. He denies dyspnea, DOE, chest pain, orthopnea, PND,
abdominal pain, and n/v/d/c.
Review of systems was negative except as detailed above.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ male with ankle injury.
COMPARISON: None available.
TECHNIQUE: Three views of the left foot and three views of the left ankle
were obtained.
FINDINGS:
LEFT ANKLE: No acute ankle fracture is detected. The ankle mortise appears
preserved. There is soft tissue swelling surrounding the ankle, most severe
over the medial malleolus.
LEFT FOOT: There is a severely comminuted fracture of the navicular bone with
medial displacement of multiple fracture fragments and multi-intra-articular
extension. Fracture of the medial cuneiform also seen. Fracture fragment
seen adjacent to the cuboid as well. Additional tarsal bone fractures
suspected as well but not clearly seen due to multiple overlying fracture
fragments from the navicular. There is adjacent soft tissue swelling.
IMPRESSION: Severely comminuted and displaced fracture of the left navicular
bone with intra-articular extent. Cuboid and medial cuneiform fractures seen
and other tarsal fractures suspected. CT could be performed for further
evaluation. Orthopedic surgery consult is recommended.
Navicular fracture and recommendations were reported to ___ by
___ by telephone at 9:30 a.m. on ___ at the time of discovery
of these findings.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ male with left lower extremity injury.
STUDY: CT of the left foot/ankle; images were acquired in soft tissue and
bone algorithms. Coronal, sagittal, axial oblique and coronal oblique
reformatted images were also generated.
COMPARISON: Foot and ankle radiographs from ___.
FINDINGS:
The visualized portion of the distal tibia and fibula are intact. The talus
and calcaneus are intact.
There is a markedly comminuted fracture of the navicular with splaying of the
two major fragments medially and laterally with a gap of approximately 1.5 cm
(400B; 46). There is also a comminuted fracture of the medial base of the
medial cuneiform. The visualized portion of the first ray is intact. The
middle cuneiform is intact. The visualized portion of the second ray is
intact. The lateral cuneiform demonstrates comminuted fracture at its base.
There is a small avulsion fracture at base of the third metatarsal with
extension into the joint space. There is a fracture involving the lateral
aspect of the cuboid. The fracture is also seen through the base of the
fourth metatarsal. The visualized portion of the fifth ray demonstrates a
transverse fracture through the proximal phalanx (401B; 87 and 402B; 103).
There is extensive soft tissue swelling. There does not appear to be
neurovascular or tendon entrapment. While the Lisfranc ligament itself is not
well-visualized on this study, the Lisfranc interval is intact, and no bony
evidence of a Lisfranc ligament injury is present.
IMPRESSION: Extensively comminuted fractures involving the mid foot and third
and fourth metatarsal bases as described above; transverse fracture of the
fifth proximal phalanx.
Radiology Report
LEFT FOOT, SIX VIEWS
REASON FOR EXAM: Intra-op evaluation.

History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ year old man with hypertension,
hyperlipidemia and OSA who presented to ___ with
chest pain and dyspnea and was transferred to ___ for higher
level of care given concerning ECG changes and an elevated
troponin. He is transferred to the CCU for monitoring of a
pericardial drain. To briefly review his course, he was in his
usual state of health on the day of admission when he developed
dyspnea with lifting a 30 pound box of chocolate chips at his
bakery. The pressure was constant and non-radiating and he
called EMS. On their arrival he was hypoxic to the 80's and
transferred to ___. He was found to have an
elevated high-sensitivity troponin of 189 that increased to 249,
and a NT-proBNP of 6250. He had lateral T-wave inversion on ECG
and was given ASA 325mg and two doses of SL nitroglycerin. He
was also given 40mg IV Lasix and placed on BiPAP. Of note,
patient was recently started on metoprolol tartrate 25mg daily
for "tremor", however this was discontinued given severe fatigue
associated with it. He was transitioned to propranolol 10mg BID
which has been better tolerated. Interestingly, patient believes
he is still taking labetalol, in addition to propranolol,
however is not ___ sure. Has had lower extremity edema for
several years, no worse recently, although was only started on
furosemide 20mg daily in early ___ for this. On arrival to
___, he was started on IV heparin gtt for NSTEMI. An
echocardiogram on ___ demonstrated a large pericardial effusion
with tamponade physiology. He went to the cath lab on ___ for
urgent pericardiocentesis with 650 cc serous fluid was drained
and sent for studies. He underwent a cardiac catheterization
which demonstrates severe multivessel coronary artery disease.
Given severe left main disease, and IABP was placed. Cardiac
surgery was consulted for revascularization.

Pertinent Results:
Transthoracic Echocardiogram ___
The left atrial volume index is moderately increased. The right
atrium is mildly enlarged. There is no evidence for an atrial
septal defect by 2D/color Doppler. The estimated right atrial
pressure is >15mmHg. There is focal non-obstructive hypertrophy
of the basal septum with a moderately increased/dilated cavity.
There is mild regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction
with hypokinesis of the mid to distal anteroseptum, anterior
wall, and apex (see schematic) and preserved/normal
contractility of the remaining segments. No thrombus or mass is
seen in the left ventricle. The visually estimated left
ventricular ejection fraction is 45-50%. There is no resting
left ventricular outflow tract gradient. No ventricular septal
defect is seen. Tissue Doppler suggests an increased left
ventricular filling pressure (PCWP greater than 18 mmHg). Normal
right ventricular cavity size with normal free wall motion. The
aortic sinus is mildly dilated with mildly dilated ascending
aorta. The aortic arch diameter is normal. There is no evidence
for an aortic arch coarctation. The aortic valve leaflets (3)
appear structurally normal. There is no aortic valve stenosis.
There is trace aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve leaflets
are mildly thickened with no mitral valve prolapse. There is
trivial mitral regurgitation. The pulmonic valve leaflets are
normal. The tricuspid valve leaflets appear structurally normal.
There is physiologic tricuspid regurgitation. The pulmonary
artery systolic pressure could not be estimated. There is a
large circumferential pericardial effusion. Stranding is
visualized within the pericardial space c/w organization. There
is right atrial systolic and right ventricular diastolic
collapse c/w increased pericardial pressure/tamponade
physiology.
IMPRESSION: Large circumferential pericardial effusion with
right atrial and right ventricular collapse and IVC plethora c/w
pericardial tamponade. Moderate left ventricular basal septal
hypertrophy with moderate cavity dilation and mild regional
systolic dysfunction c/w CAD in an LAD distribution. Increased
PCWP. No definite pathologic valvular flow identified.

"collapsed" to the floor. She reports remembering everything
that happened but when probed for specifics she is unable to,
she also reports she fell in the bathroom. However, according to
her son, and ___ EMS records she was found on the floor of
her kitchen incontinent of urine and feces. When awakened she
was confused, disoriented and not making sense.
She went to an outside hospital (___), where she was found to
by hypothermic and confused. Rectal temperature reportedly was
93.0 initially. She was warmed and temperature improved to 95.6.
Received 1L NS and Keppra 500mg IV at OSH. She was also found to
have elevated Troponin (Trop I 1.37). She was transferred to
___ for further evaluation.
In the ED, initial vitals were: 94.2 92 100/66 16 95% RA. She
was found to be A&Ox3 but forgetful, unable to recall certain
treatments or details of her diagnosis. Respiratory effort easy
and unlabored. Abdomen soft and no pain on palpation.
Temperature 94.2 (temporal) in triage. Slightly tachycardic to
104bpm. Labs were notable for WBC of 12.4, elevations in AST and
ALT, Trop of 0.14. EKG was sinus rhythm, 98, normal axis, QTC
488, ST segment elevation in leads V1, V2, ST depression in lead

setting of presumed seizure. Oncology was consulted who deferred
to medicine because primary oncologist is at ___ though she
receives radiation oncology here.
On the floor, she currently feels well but reports weakness, she
is gernally independent with ambulation and plays gold 3 times
per week but now feels her legs are weak and is having
difficulty standing. She denies any headache no chest pain,
shortness of breath, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma to brain,
s/p XRT, now presenting after seizure. Evaluate for worsening
metastases/edema/inflammation in setting of seizure
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of 6 mL of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial imaging was
performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal
MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal
orientations.
COMPARISON: ___ brain MRI with and without contrast.
___ limited postcontrast brain MRI.
___ noncontrast head CT.
FINDINGS:
Postcontrast MP RAGE images are mildly limited by motion artifact. 17 x 18 mm
enhancing right paramedian anterior frontal mass has decreased in size,
previously 23 x 23 mm (series 10, image 19). Surrounding vasogenic edema has
also improved. There is no significant mass effect at this time.
A 3 mm cortical focus of enhancement posterior to this lesion noted on the
prior examination is not clearly appreciated on the current exam.
A 4 mm enhancing focus in the right cerebellar hemisphere is stable compared
to the 2 prior MRIs when measured in the same fashion. There is no associated
edema.
There is no evidence for new enhancing intracranial lesions.
Moderately numerous foci of high T2 signal in the periventricular, deep, and
subcortical white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, without associated
enhancement or slow diffusion, are grossly unchanged, nonspecific but likely
sequelae of chronic microangiopathy in this age group. Stable prominence of
the ventricles and sulci, in keeping with age related involutional changes is
again noted. There is no acute infarction and no evidence for new blood
products.
Principal intracranial vascular flow voids are preserved. Dural venous
sinuses enhance appropriately on postcontrast MP-RAGE sequences.
Partial opacification of the left mastoid air cells is unchanged.
A small T1 hyperintense lesion is again seen in the right parietal bone on
images 4:22, 10:22, likely a hemangioma.
IMPRESSION:
1. Decreased 17 x 18 mm right frontal lesion and improved surrounding
vasogenic edema. 3 mm cortical focus of enhancement posterior to this lesion
seen on the prior study is no longer present.
2. 4 mm enhancing lesion in the right cerebellar hemisphere is stable without
associated edema.
3. No new enhancing intracranial lesions identified.

You were admitted to ___ after a fall and mental status
changes which were thought to be due to a seizure. It is
believed that lowering the dose of your anti seizure medicine
combined with your recent immunologic therapy may have increased
your risk of seizure. MRI showed improvement in your brain
lesions, EEG showed no further seizures, but you remained
somewhat confused so a lumbar puncture was performed which looks
clear preliminarily, with evaluation for tumor cells pending.
You had no evidence of any infections. Your mental status
improved during your stay. You were switched to a new
anti-seizure medication and should follow up with your
oncologist as well as your new neuro-oncologist as below.

It was a pleasure caring for you during your admission to ___
___. You were sent to the ___
from rehab for falls and worsening confusion. You were found to
have an elevated level of carbon dioxide in your blood, which
was caused by not using your BiPAP machine.
Your confusion improved when you were treated with the BIPAP
machine. It is very important that you use a BIPAP machine each
night to prevent this problem from returning in the future. You
can also sleep with your upper body elevated to help with this
problem. I have spoken with the company that will deliver your
machine. You should hear from them in a couple of days. If you
have not heard from them please call: ___ at
___.
You have worse swelling in your right leg compared to your left
leg. This is probably related to the deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
or blood clot that was diagnosed during your stay at rehab. You
were started on coumadin to protect you from clots in the
future.
You have congestive heart failure, for which you received
diuresis (water taken off). Please weigh yourself every morning,
and call your PCP if weight goes up more than 3 lbs.
Your insulin was reduced during your hospitalization because
your blood sugars were low. We expect your insulin will need
ongoing adjustment after you leave the hospital.
Per the urology team the dermabond over the surgical site on
your penis will come off naturally over the next few days. You
should keep the area clean. Dr. ___ will call you with the
results of your biopsy. If you have questions for Dr. ___
can reach him at ___.

History of Present Illness:
The patient is a ___ year-old right-handed man with
hypertension and complete heart block s/p pacemaker who presents
with "dizziness" since ___. He reports waking ___
morning, in the bathroom where he almost LOC and fell to the
left. He proceded to feel dizzy with blurry vision in the
distance while driving into work, felt nauseous and vomited so
stayed home from work and rested. Symptoms improve/resolve with
lying down. Continued to feel dizzy each day, again nausea and
vomiting today. He is mail man with a foot route and has had
trouble walking, feeling like he is falling to his left side,
almost like he can't control it well, but doesn't report
weakness. Does acknowledge it has been hot recently. Was seen by
PCP today who referred in. Reports a somewhat similar sensation
years ago that was brief and resolved, otherwise he is not a
person who gets dizzy regularly, only time he lost consciousness
was in the setting of heart block and very different (no
dizziness symptoms, just sudden LOC). Denies headache, vertigo,
diplopia, change in speech or comprehension, trouble swallowing,
weakness, parasthesias or numbness anywhere.
In the ED his BPs were 100s systolic and orthostatic VS normal.
He was well appearing and symptomatic only when standing. The ED
providers were concerned about gait falling to the left and
ataxia so consulted Neurology. Cardiology was also consulted to
interrogate the pacemaker which was normal. He had a NCHCT and
CTA H/N which showed no clear infarct or significant
stenosis/occlusion. Labs unremarkable and CXR negative for acute
process.
On general review of systems, the pt denies recent fever or
chills. No night sweats or recent weight loss or gain. Denies
cough, shortness of breath. Denies chest pain or tightness,
palpitations. Denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation
or
abdominal pain. No recent change in bowel or bladder habits.
No
dysuria. Denies arthralgias or myalgias. Denies rash.

You were hospitalized due to feelings of dizziness and leaning
to the left while walking. You had some tests done, like a CT
scan of your head and the blood vessels in the head and neck,
which were unremarkable. Based on your neurological examination
and the symptoms you had told us, we believe that your balance
issues are due to an inner ear problem. This is referred to as a
peripheral vestibulopathy. Many things can cause this, we are
not sure of the exact one at this time. We do not think this is
Meniere's disease. This should improve with time. We had
physical therapy see you. You will undergo vestibular physical
therapy once you are out of the hospital, this will help your
vestibular (inner ear) system which is responsible for your
balance recover.
Sincerely,
Your ___ neurology team |

performed per ___ protocol. The neck 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 into the
IVC. After sequential dilation of the soft tissue tract a triple lumen
pheresis catheter was advanced over the wire into the superior vena cava with
the tip in the cavoatrial junction. The access ports were aspirated, flushed
and capped. The catheter was secured to the skin with 0 silk suture and
sterile dressings were applied. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrating
good alignment of the catheter and no kinking.
The patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate complications.
FINDINGS:

CT Chest without Contrast
INDICATION: History of metastatic small cell lung cancer with
now right-sided
pleural effusions identified on chest radiograph. Question of
left-sided
pulmonary nodule also raised.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were obtained from the thoracic outlet
to the upper
abdomen without intravenous contrast. Lung reconstruction
algorithm images
and axial MIPs were acquired.
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___.
FINDINGS: A right Port-A-Cath terminates in the distal SVC.
There is a
moderate-sized loculated right pleural effusion with areas of
pleural
calcifications noted (2:19). There is geographic right
paramediastinal soft
tissue density likely reflecting post-radiation changes.
Evaluation for
underlying neoplasm is limited wihtout IV contrast. Coronary
artery
calcifications are noted as well as calcifications of the aortic
valve. A
small pericardial effusion is noted. The heart is otherwise
unremarkable.
The airways remain patent to the lobar bronchi. Evaluation
distal to this is
difficult.
There is a 4-mm left upper lobe nodule (4:51). No pulmonary
nodule
corresponding to the density seen on prior chest radiograph.
The left lung is
otherwise clear. No mediastinal or axillary lymph nodes meeting
pathologic
criteria are seen.
Evidencr of prior right thoracotomy are noted in the right third
through fifth
ribs. There is no lytic or blastic lesion suspicious for
metastasis.
Though not tailored for subdiaphragmatic evaluation, several
additional
abnormalities are noted. There is a 17 x 15 mm simple cyst
arising from the
upper pole of the right kidney (4:287). Additionally, there is
a low-density
linear lesion in segment IV of the liver that courses towards
the falciform
ligament (400B:116). Evaluation of the liver is limited in the
absence of
intravenous contrast. The stomach is distended with food, but
is otherwise
unremarkable. Small partially calcified 5-mm lymph node
anterior to SMV.
There is a small gallstone.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderate loculated right pleural effusion along with pleural
calcifications.
2. Post-radiation changes. Limited evaluation for small cell
lung cancer
without IV contrast.
3. 4-mm left upper lobe nodule. In this patient with known
diagnosis of
small cell lung cancer, close interval followup is recommended.
4. Low-density area in segment IVB of the liver is likely fatty
infiltration,

___. They noticed that the words were slurred. There was no
weakness or facial droop. There was no clear aphasia. This
lasted
15 minutes, resolving after lying down. No lightheadedness
during
this episode. His BP was not checked during this.
This episode was similar to his prior episodes.
___ years ago, he 3 episodes of global aphasia. It was a hot and
humid day. The first episode resolved after a sip of soda. The
next day he had two more episodes. He went to the hospital and
was diagnosed with TIAs and afib and started on
warfarin.
He is on lovenox, bridging to Coumadin.
Recently admitted from ___ for Left femoral to peroneal
bypass. He was seen several times by Neurology for episodes of
slurred speech, which were thought due to possible embolus in
the
setting of held anticoagulation the first time, then poor
cerebral perfusion, anemia and hypoxia the second time. Since he
was already on therapeutic anticoagulation, aspirin, and statin,
this was continued.
On neuro ROS, the pt denies headache, loss of vision, blurred
vision, diplopia, dysphagia, lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus
or hearing difficulty. Denies difficulties producing or
comprehending speech. Denies focal weakness, numbness,
parasthesiae. No bowel or bladder incontinence or retention.
Denies difficulty with gait.

You were hospitalized due to symptoms of slurred speech
resulting from an Transient Ischemic Attack, a condition where a
blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is
temporarily blocked. 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.
TIA's 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:
-Episodes of low blood pressure causing poor blood circulation
to your brain
-Being off of Coumadin
We are changing your medications as follows:
Coumadin 5mg daily - this dose may be readjusted as needed
depending on your INR levels.
Please take your other medications as prescribed.
Please followup with Neurology, vascular surgery, 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 |

EXAMINATION: FOOT 1 VIEW RIGHT
INDICATION: ___ year old man s/p R partial ___ ray amputation // post op eval
TECHNIQUE: Lateral right foot radiograph.
COMPARISON: Radiographs from ___.
FINDINGS:
The patient is post right partial first ray amputation. Extensive vascular
calcifications are again seen. There is moderate overlying soft tissue
swelling at the surgical site. No acute fracture is detected.
IMPRESSION:
Post right partial first ray amputation, without complication.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ with PMHx of significant PVD, has non-healing ulcer of R foot
// ?osteo
TECHNIQUE: AP, lateral, and oblique views of the right foot.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Patient is status post amputation of the second and third toes at the level of
the mid proximal phalanx. Cortical margins at the postop site are preserved.
There is however a relatively rounded lucency projecting over the remaining
portion base of the proximal phalanx of the third toe. This is only seen on
the frontal view. On the additional views there is overlapping of the soft
tissues obscuring additional evaluation.. Elsewhere, mineralization is
preserved. Vascular calcifications are noted. Surgical clips project over
the lower catheterization.
IMPRESSION:
Patient is status post amputation of the second and third digits.
Well-circumscribed lucency projecting over the remaining base of the proximal
phalanx of the right third toe, however it is uncertain if this is due to
demineralization versus lucency in the overlying soft tissues. Consider
dedicated toe films to better assess in different projections. Elsewhere,
preserved mineralization.

driving is not allowed until
-the staples in your leg have been taken out
-your leg feels strong
-you have stopped taking pain medication and feel you could
respond in an emergency
Walking is good because it helps your muscles get stronger and
improves blood flow. Start with short walks. If you can, go a
little further each time, letting comfort be your guide.
Try not to go up and downstairs too much in the first weeks.
Use stairs only once or twice a day until your incision is fully
healed and you are back to your usual strength.
Avoid things that may constrict blood flow or put pressure on
your incision, such as tight shoes, socks or knee highs.
Do not take a tub bath or swim until your staples are removed
and your wound is healed.
When you sit, keep your leg elevated to reduce swelling.
If swelling in your leg is getting worse, lie down with your
leg up on a pillows. If your swelling continues, please call
your surgeon. You may be instructed to use special elastic
bandages or stockings.

example, ___ go on a long car ride.
You may go outside. But avoid traveling long distances until
you see your surgeon at your next visit.
You may resume sexual activity after your incisions are well
healed.
Your incision
Your incision may be slightly red around the stitches or
staples. This is normal.
It is normal to have a small amount of clear or light red
fluid coming from your incision.
This will decrease and stop in a few days. If it does not stop,
or if you have a lot of fluid coming out., please call your
surgeon.
You may shower 48 hours after your surgery. Do not let the
shower spray right on the incision, Let the soapy water run
over the incision, then rinse. Gently pat the area dry. Do not
scrub the incision, Do not apply ointment or lotions to the
incision.
You do not need to cover the incision if there is no drainage,
If there is a small amount of drainage, put a small sterile
gauze or Bandaid over the incison.
It is normal to feel a firm ridge along the incision, This
will go away as your wound heals.
Avoid direct sun exposure to the incision area for 6 months.
This will help keep the scar from becoming discolored.
Over ___ months, your incision will fade and become less
prominent.
Diet and Bowels
It is normal to have a decreased appetite. Your appetite will
return over time. Follow a well-balanced, health healthy diet,
without too much salt and fat.
Prescription pain medicine might make you constipated. If
needed, you may take a stool softener (such as Colace) or gentle
laxative (ask your pharmacist for recommendations).
Drinking more fluid may also help.
If you go 48 hours without a bowel movement, or having pain
moving your bowels, call your primary care physician. |

images were repeated after the administration of intravenous gadolinium
contrast. An MRV of the head was also performed.
COMPARISON: No prior MRI of the head. Prior CT of the head dated ___.
FINDINGS:
MRI brain:
There is a right parietal intraparenchymal hematoma measuring approximately 25
mm AP x 27 mm TV x 28 mm SI. There is no significant change in size compared
to prior study. Signal abnormality is noted on diffusion-weighted images;
assessment for ischemic changes is confounded by the presence of blood
products. On post-contrast images, there is a thick, slightly irregular rind
of heterogeneous peripheral enhancement, approx. 1.1cm in thickness.
There is surrounding vasogenic edema. There is local mass effect with sulcal
effacement and narrowing of the atrium and occipital horn of the right lateral
ventricle.
There is no shift of midline structures.
The sulci and vetricles are normal elsewhere.
There is a small right subdural fluid collection or hemorrhage.
There are scattered foci of T2/FLAIR signal hyperintensity in the
periventricular, deep, and subcortical white matter which is nonspecific but
likely secondary to chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
The major vascular flow voids are maintained.
The orbits are unremarkable.
There is minimal mucosal thickening within the paranasal sinuses. The mastoid
air cells are clear.
MRV brain:
The superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, transverse sinuses, sigmoid
sinuses, and the visualized internal jugular veins are patent without filling
defect to suggest thrombosis. The visualized deep cerebral veins are also
patent. The vein ___ is unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Right parietal intraparenchymal hematoma, 2.8x2.5x2.7cm, unchanged
compared to prior CT. Thick rind of slightly irregular and heterogeneous
peripheral enhancement seen in/surrounding the hematoma on post-contrast
images. This could be a finding seen with a subacute hematoma, however an
underlying mass lesion cannot be completely excluded, given the thickness and
irregularity. Close Followup is recommended to assess for interval change.
2. T2/FLAIR signal hyperintense focii in the periventricular, deep, and
subcortical white matter which are nonspecific but most likely secondary to
chronic small vessel ischemic disease.

CTDIvol: 1003 MGy.
COMPARISON: CT from ___ and MRI from ___.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of new intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or
vascular territorial infarction. There is a 2.7 x 3.0 cm right parietal
intraparenchymal hemorrhage with associated edema, relatively stable from
prior CT (2:25). The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration
for age. Periventricular white matter hypodensities are likely sequela of
chronic small vessel ischemic disease. The basal cisterns appear patent, and
there is preservation of normal gray-white matter differentiation. No fracture
is identified. The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells,and middle
ear cavities are clear. The globes are intact.
IMPRESSION:
3.0 cm right parietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage with associated edema. No

Antibiotics were stopped and you tolerated this just fine.
Overall, your presentation is most consistent with a post
infectious bronchitis or asthma like syndrome.
You were evaluated by speech and language pathology who felt you
would benefit from a ground diet with thin liquids to minimize
your risks of accidentally inhaling some of your food when you
eat (which can predispose to pneumonia and coughing fits).
You were deconditioned and had difficulty moving around and
physical therapy recommended going to a rehab facility. You did
not qualify for acute level rehab and so you and your family
elected to go home with maximal services in order to work on

History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ male with history of CAD s/p CABG,
Type II diabetes, hypertension, and chronic knee pain, who
presents from rehab with chest pain.
Patient states at rehab he had to use the bathroom and called
for
assistance, but nobody would come to help him. He then called
___. EMS helped him to the restroom. During this interaction he
developed sudden-onset moderate chest pain, which he describes
as
a left-sided heaviness, that then radiated to the right side.
This is in the setting of coronary artery disease and is typical
for his episodes of angina. He was therefore brought to the ED.
Denies any associated shortness of breath, cough, fever,
diaphoresis, nausea, vomiting. Denies abdominal pain. Denies
dizziness or lightheadedness.
Patient states that his typical chest pain will start on the
left
side. He will often try SL nitro at this point, which most often
relieves the pain. However, at times it does not and radiates to
the right side and will become squeezing. He states that this
happened a lot in ___ and ___, but has been doing
better. He feels that it is triggered by stress.
Regarding his UTI, he notes that had he has had two urinary
tract
infections this past month. The one he is being treated for now
he did not have any symptoms, but it was found on testing.
Regarding his knee pain, he notes that he both knees hurt,
especially the left, which will buckle sometimes, causing him to
fall. This was worse after knee replacements ___ years ago. Uses
a
wheelchair. He has discussed an operation to help repair his
knees, but states that his cardiologist doesn't feel that a
surgery would be safe until can go a year without a cardiac
event.
He states that being in rehab has been very difficult. He notes
that he is there with many people who are much older than him,
and this has taken a mental toll. He has seen many things that
have made him uncomfortable and feel that the care he gets is
often very poor. He also struggles with the idea of being stuck
in a wheelchair at a rehab at such a young age.
He also reports that he used to see Dr ___, who is now at
___. Would like to see her again, previously limited by
insurance.

Final Report: MRI THORACIC AND LUMBAR SPINE ___
COMPARISON: MR thoracic spine ___, CT lumbar spine
___, MR lumbar spine ___ and ___.
FINDINGS:
THORACIC:
The patient is status post interval removal of a spinal cord
stimulator with
posterior bilateral laminectomies and decompressions extending
from the level
of T8-T9 through T11-T12. Extensive, expected postoperative
changes are seen.
Additionally, there is a large T1 mildly hyperintense,, T2
hyperintense,
minimally peripherally enhancing fluid collection which tracks
through the
posterior surgical incision, into the decompressive laminectomy
site, exerts
mass effect on the posterior epidural space. It measures 4 cm
in
anterior-posterior diameter, and 7.5 cm proximal to distal, 1.5
cm
transversely. It abuts posterior epidural space at T9 through
T11. This
results in near complete effacement of the thecal sac from
T9-T11, with severe
canal stenosis and moderate cord compression. No definite
abnormal cord
signal seen at these levels. Similarly, and there is no
evidence for abnormal
intramedullary enhancement.
Throughout the remainder of the visualized thoracic spinal
canal, there is
epidural lipomatosis which appears similar to the previous
examination
contributing to moderate central canal narrowing diffusely, and
moderate to
severe at T5, T6, T7 levels. At T8-9, a slightly right
paracentral disc
protrusion indents the ventral thecal sac, contacting the
ventral cord and
deforming it, combining with a posterior epidural fluid
collection to result
in mild-to-moderate canal stenosis.
The thoracic vertebral body bone marrow is normal in signal
characteristic.
There is kyphosis centered within the mid thoracic spine that is
slightly
exaggerated. Compression deformities involving the T11 and T12
superior
endplates appear chronic in nature. Mild anterior wedging of T7
also appears
chronic in nature. Patent foramina.
LUMBAR:
The patient is status post previous L1-L5 bilateral
laminectomies and
decompression, with posterior spinal fusion at L1-L2. Extensive
postoperative
changes are again noted, all of which appears similar dating
back to ___.
This includes exaggerated lordosis seen at L1-L2 with
irregularity of the
superior and posterior L2 vertebral body. Intervertebral disc
spacers are
seen at L1-L2, L3-L4, and L4-L5. There is partial osseous
fusion at L3-L4 and
near complete fusion at L4-L5.
T2 hyperintense, T1 hypointense, nonenhancing fluid collections
are seen at
multiple levels. A dominant collection is seen surrounding the
right L2
pedicle screw with ventral extension and partial encasement of
the thecal sac
causing mild canal stenosis. This appearance is unchanged
dating back to the
prior examination. Similarly, smaller T2 hyperintense cystic
collections seen
posterior to the epidural space at L2-L3 are unchanged.
___ type 2 degenerative endplate changes are prominent at
L1-L2 and L2-L3.
No suspicious osseous lesion is detected. The conus terminates
at L1-L2.
Appearance of the thecal sac at L4, L5 level at and nerve roots
within it is
consistent with acne aditus, stable.
T12-L1: There is no spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.
L1-L2: There is mild canal narrowing secondary to compression
from the
previously described postoperative seroma which extends and
partially encases
the thecal sac. Otherwise, moderate bilateral neural foraminal
narrowing is
unchanged.
L2-L3: Posterior disc bulging is noted without appreciable canal
stenosis, but
with moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing which appears
modestly
progressed from the previous examination. Minimal L2-L3
anterolisthesis.
L3-L4 through L5-S1: There is no spinal canal or neural
foraminal stenosis,
aside from mild bilateral L5-S1 foraminal narrowing.
There is no evidence for abnormal intramedullary,
leptomeningeal, or epidural
enhancement. There is extensive fatty atrophy of the bilateral
paraspinal
musculature. A T2 hyperintense right renal cyst is noted.
Partially seen is
probable left thyroid nodule measuring 2.3 cm, incompletely
covered
IMPRESSION:
1. Laminectomies T8-9 through T11. Fluid collection at the
laminectomy bed
extending to the skin surface, with complex appearance, likely
postoperative
with blood products within it given mildly intrinsic bright T1.
Severe central
canal narrowing at this level, with cord compression without
definite cord
signal abnormality.
2. Thoracic epidural lipomatosis, contributing to moderate to
severe overall
central canal narrowing.
3. L1-L5 bilateral laminectomies, L1-L2 posterior spinal fusion,
with
extensive postoperative changes. Overall, the lumbar spine
alignment and
postop appearance has minimally changed dating back to ___. This
includes multiple probable postoperative seromas.
4. Background multilevel spondylosis of the lumbar spine, as
above, overall
mildly progressed from the previous examination.
5. Arachnoiditis in the lumbar spine, stable.
Final Report -- ULTRASOUND-GUIDED ASPIRATION --___
COMPARISON: MRI of the lumbar spine from ___.
PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided drainage of right paravertebral
soft tissue
collection.
OPERATORS: Dr. ___, radiology trainee and Dr. ___,
attending
radiologist. Dr. ___ personally supervised the trainee during
the key
components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the
trainee's
findings.
TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the
procedure were
explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed
written
consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three
patient identifiers
was performed per ___ protocol.
The patient was placed in a prone 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, 18G ___ needle was
inserted into
the right paravertebral fluid collection, and approximately 40
cc of clear
fluid was aspirated with a sample sent for microbiology
evaluation. The
needle was removed and sterile dressing was applied.
The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate
post-procedural
complications.
SEDATION: No sedation was administered for this procedure.
FINDINGS:
There is a loculated fluid collection within the soft tissues of
the right
paravertebral region measuring 4.9 x 4.0 cm.
IMPRESSION:

The patient is status post previous L1-L5 bilateral laminectomies and
decompression, with posterior spinal fusion at L1-L2. Extensive postoperative
changes are again noted, all of which appears similar dating back to ___.
This includes exaggerated lordosis seen at L1-L2 with irregularity of the
superior and posterior L2 vertebral body. Intervertebral disc spacers are
seen at L1-L2, L3-L4, and L4-L5. There is partial osseous fusion at L3-L4 and
near complete fusion at L4-L5.
T2 hyperintense, T1 hypointense, nonenhancing fluid collections are seen at
multiple levels. A dominant collection is seen surrounding the right L2
pedicle screw with ventral extension and partial encasement of the thecal sac
causing mild canal stenosis. This appearance is unchanged dating back to the
prior examination. Similarly, smaller T2 hyperintense cystic collections seen
posterior to the epidural space at L2-L3 are unchanged.
___ type 2 degenerative endplate changes are prominent at L1-L2 and L2-L3.
No suspicious osseous lesion is detected. The conus terminates at L1-L2.
Appearance of the thecal sac at L4, L5 level at and nerve roots within it is
consistent with acne aditus, stable.
T12-L1: There is no spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.
L1-L2: There is mild canal narrowing secondary to compression from the
previously described postoperative seroma which extends and partially encases
the thecal sac. Otherwise, moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing is
unchanged.
L2-L3: Posterior disc bulging is noted without appreciable canal stenosis, but
with moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing which appears modestly
progressed from the previous examination. Minimal L2-L3 anterolisthesis.
L3-L4 through L5-S1: There is no spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis,
aside from mild bilateral L5-S1 foraminal narrowing.
There is no evidence for abnormal intramedullary, leptomeningeal, or epidural
enhancement. There is extensive fatty atrophy of the bilateral paraspinal
musculature. A T2 hyperintense right renal cyst is noted. Partially seen is
probable left thyroid nodule measuring 2.3 cm, incompletely covered
IMPRESSION:
1. Laminectomies T8-9 through T11. Fluid collection at the laminectomy bed
extending to the skin surface, with complex appearance, likely postoperative
with blood products within it given mildly intrinsic bright T1. Severe central
canal narrowing at this level, with cord compression without definite cord
signal abnormality.
2. Thoracic epidural lipomatosis, contributing to moderate to severe overall
central canal narrowing.
3. L1-L5 bilateral laminectomies, L1-L2 posterior spinal fusion, with
extensive postoperative changes. Overall, the lumbar spine alignment and
postop appearance has minimally changed dating back to ___. This
includes multiple probable postoperative seromas.
4. Background multilevel spondylosis of the lumbar spine, as above, overall
mildly progressed from the previous examination.
5. Arachnoiditis in the lumbar spine, stable.
NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with
___ on the telephone on ___ at 7:06 pm, 15
minutes after discovery of the findings.

OPERATORS: Dr. ___, radiology trainee and Dr. ___, attending
radiologist. Dr. ___ personally supervised the trainee during the key
components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's
findings.
TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were
explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written
consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers
was performed per ___ protocol.
The patient was placed in a prone 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, 18G ___ needle was inserted into
the right paravertebral fluid collection, and approximately 40 cc of clear
fluid was aspirated with a sample sent for microbiology evaluation. The
needle was removed and sterile dressing was applied.
The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate post-procedural
complications.
SEDATION: No sedation was administered for this procedure.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Seizure.
TECHNIQUE: Upright AP view of the chest.
COMPARISON: ___ and ___.
FINDINGS:
The study is somewhat limited due to patient rotation. Right PICC has been
removed. The heart size remains moderately enlarged. The mediastinal and
hilar contours are unchanged. Blunting of the right costophrenic angle with
right basilar patchy opacity appears unchanged, likely reflecting chronic
pleural thickening with associated atelectasis or scarring. Left lung is
clear. No new areas of focal consolidation are demonstrated. There is no
pneumothorax or new pleural effusion. Chronic left anterior shoulder
dislocation is re- demonstrated. Cervical spinal fusion hardware is
incompletely visualized.
IMPRESSION:
Chronic changes within the right lung base with chronic pleural thickening.
Chronic anterior dislocation of the left shoulder.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with recurrent seizures, now with change in
seizure type and slurred speech.
TECHNIQUE: Helically acquired axial CT images through the head were performed
without intravenous contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and thin slice bone
reconstructed images were created and reviewed.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS:
There is no CT evidence for acute intracranial hemorrhage, large mass, mass
effect, edema, or hydrocephalus. There is preservation of gray-white matter
differentiation. The basal cisterns appear patent. Prominent ventricles and
sulci suggest age related involutional changes. White matter hypodensity is
likely secondary to sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
Cavernous carotid calcifications are mild. Extraaxial punctate calcifications
are again noted predominantly adjacent to the anterior temporal lobes and
within the Sylvian fissures bilaterally. No acute bony abnormality is
detected. The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air
cells appear well aerated.
IMPRESSION:
No CT evidence for acute intracranial process.
Radiology Report
PICC LINE PLACEMENT
INDICATION: IV access needed for antibiotics.
The procedure was explained to the patient. A timeout was performed.
RADIOLOGIST: Dr. ___, Dr. ___ Dr. ___ the procedure.
TECHNIQUE: Using sterile technique and local anesthesia, the right brachial
vein was punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a micropuncture set.
Ultrasound images were obtained before and immediately after establishing
intravenous access. A 4.5F peel-away sheath was then placed over an 018
guidewire and a single lumen ___ PICC line measuring 30 cm in length was then
placed through the peel-away sheath with its tip positioned in the SVC under
fluoroscopic guidance. Position of the catheter was confirmed by a
fluoroscopic spot film of the chest.
The peel-away sheath and guidewire were then removed. The catheter was
secured to the skin, flushed, and a sterile dressing applied.
The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate
complications.
IMPRESSION: Ultrasound and fluoroscopically guided single lumen PICC line
placement via the right brachial venous approach. Final internal length is 30
cm, with the tip positioned in SVC. The line is ready to use.

level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear. Ms. ___,
It was a pleasure taking part in your care at ___. You were
admitted becaue of low oxygen at home. You needed to have a
breathing tube to help you breathe. We found that one of the
lobes of your right lung was collapsed, which was most likely a
result of aspiration into that area. You were also treated with
antibiotics for possible pneumonia and steroids for possible
COPD exacerbation contributing to your symptoms. We were able to
take the breathing tube out quickly and you were stable on your
home oxygen of 4 Liters.
We discussed with you, as have prior physicians, that you
continue to apsirate will all food types. You wish to continue
to eat, and to reduce the risk of aspiration as much as we are
able, you can eat liquids that are nectar-thickened and pureed
foods.
You also had a biopsy of the mass in your left lung as an
outpatient, and the results showed cancer. This is most likely
lung cancer, and given that you have multiple spots in both
lungs, it is advanced. You should talk to your primary care
physician after discharge who will refer you to an oncologist.
The oncologist will discuss any further imaging that is
necessary. They will also discuss how to progress going forward,
but we did discuss with you that given your other illnesses,
chemotherapy options may be limited.
You were seen by physical therapy, who felt you were at your
baseline physical activity level and safe to return home with
your daughter and physical therapy at home.

Right tibia and fibula:
There is an intramedullary rod and fixation screws through the shaft of the
right tibia. There is a an oblique fracture in the proximal tibia, a
comminuted fracture in the distal to mid portion of the tibia with radiopaque
material, and a comminuted fracture in the distal portion of the right tibia.
Overall alignment is anatomic status post fixation. There is a comminuted
fracture in the mid to distal right fibula as well as an incomplete fracture
in the lateral aspect of the distal fibula. There is irregularity of the
posterior aspect of the calcaneus with 2 ossified bodies overlying superior to
the calcaneus which is concerning for possible calcaneal fracture/Achilles
avulsion. This is not directly imaged due to overlying splint. At the upper
edge of these films, the distal most portion of a femoral IM rod is noted.
Left tibia and fibula:
There is an intramedullary rod with fixation screws in the shaft of the left
tibia with lateral and medial buttress plates along the proximal tibia. There
is a tibial plateau comminuted fracture which extends to the proximal tibia as
well as a comminuted fracture of the mid to distal tibia with overlying
radiodense iatrogenic material. . There is a overriding transverse fracture
of the proximal right fibular neck,, a comminuted fracture in the mid left
fibula, and a large gap of bone missing in the mid to distal fibula. The
lateral view raises the possibility of an additional fracture site at the
distal most fibula.
Ghost tracks are noted in the bilateral tibias.
IMPRESSION:
Status post internal fixation of bilateral multifocal tibia fractures as
detailed above, including a left tibial plateau fracture.
Multifocal fractures of both right and left fibula also present, also detailed
above.
Irregular appearance to the posterior right calcaneus, with 2 ossific type
densities noted in the lower calf soft tissues, along the expected course of
the Achilles tendon. Clinical correlation is requested. This area is
partially obscured by splint, but the appearance raises the possibility of a
posterior calcaneal fracture, possibly with Achilles tendon avulsion.

plateau, L distal tibia fx; s/p ORIF's, free flap. Has VAP. With left thumb
laxity. // ? soft tissue damage / fracture left thumb
TECHNIQUE: Left hand three views.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
No fracture or dislocation is detected.
There is marked narrowing of first CMC joint, consistent with severe
osteoarthritis. This is associated with subluxation at the first CMC joint,
which can occur secondary to osteoarthritis. There is mild radial subluxation
of the first proximal phalanx with respect to the distal first metacarpal and
minimal first MCP spurring.
The IP joint is congruent, without gross degenerative change.
There is severe diffuse osteopenia.
Small focus of lucency seen at distal tuft of the fifth digit noted.
Allowing for overlying materials, no radiopaque foreign body detected . Mild
soft tissue swelling noted.
IMPRESSION:
No fracture or dislocation detected involving the left thumb. Severe first
CMC osteoarthritis. Associated subluxation can occur due to osteoarthritis.
Minimal subluxation at the first MCP joint, of indeterminate acuity. The
appearance is compatible with mild laxity of the ulnar collateral ligament.
If this represents a site of the patient's new-onset symptoms, this could
reflect an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament.
Small focus of lucency in the distal tuft of the left small finger distal
phalanx. Unless there is focal tenderness in this location, this would
likely be accounted for by degenerative changes.

and lidocaine mixed with epinephrine were used for local anesthesia.
PROCEDURE:
1. Right internal jugular venous access.
2. Subcutaneous tunneling from the right internal jugular vein to the right
upper chest.
3. Placement of a 19 cm cuff to tip double lumen hemodialysis catheter.
FINDINGS:
The procedure was discussed in detail with the patient and risks and benefits
emphasized. Informed written consent was obtained.
When the patient arrived in the angiography suite, they were placed supine on
the procedure table. The right upper chest was prepped and draped in usual
sterile fashion. A preprocedural time out was performed per ___ protocoll.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the right internal jugular vein, which
was patent and compressible, was accessed using a micropuncture needle. A
Nitinol wire was then passed into the right side of the heart and the needle
exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The inner dilator and Nitinol wire were
removed and ___ wire was advanced through the heart into the IVC under
fluoroscopic guidance. A measurement was obtained from this wire and the wire
was then secured to the drape.
The direction of the tunnel was determined and the tunnel tract was
anesthetized with lidocaine with epinephrine. The catheter was tunneled
underneath the skin. The right internal jugular vein sheath was removed and
the tract was dilated. The catheter was inserted into the peel-away sheath
and advanced into the right atrium. Final fluoroscopic image demonstrated the
tip terminating in the right atrium. Good blood return from both lumens.
The catheter was secured to the skin using Vicryl sutures. The venotomy site
was closed using a subcutaneous stitch. The patient left the department in
stable condition. No complications.

It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___
___. You were admitted because of blood in your
stool. Because your blood counts were low, you were treated in
the intensive care unit and given 4 units of blood. You
underwent an upper endoscopy, which showed erosions in the
stomach and small intestine, but no active bleeding. You also
underwent a colonoscopy, which showed diverticulosis. The exact
source of the bleeding was not found. Your bleeding stopped, and
your blood counts started to rise again. We added a new
medication to your list, pantoprazole, which will help prevent
future bleeding. We also temporarily stopped two of your blood
pressure medications, amlodipine and lisinopril, because your
blood pressure was normal in the hospital. We suggest that you
touch base with your primary care doctor about when to restart
these medicines. Finally, we started you on aspirin to help
prevent future strokes.
Best wishes,

COMPARISON: None.
CLINICAL HISTORY: Fever, sore throat, cough, question pneumonia.
FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest provided. Lungs appear clear
bilaterally without definite signs of pneumonia or CHF. In the lateral view
on the retrocardiac region, there is subtle nodular opacity, which in the
correct clinical setting could indicate pneumonia. There is also retrocardiac
opacity on the frontal view, which raises concern for a hiatal hernia. There
is an old right clavicular shaft deformity. Bony structures are otherwise
intact.
IMPRESSION: Subtle nodular opacity in the retrocardiac region seen only on
lateral view which in the correct clinical setting may represent pneumonia.
Possible hiatal hernia.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Pleuritic chest pain after a long flight.
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___.
TECHNIQUE: Volumetric multidetector CT acquisition of the chest was performed
after administration of 100 mL Omnipaque intravenous contrast. Images are
presented for display in the axial plane at 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm collimation. A
series of multiplanar reformation images are submitted for review.
CTA CHEST: The thoracic aorta is normal in caliber without evidence of
dissection on this non-gated study. Pulmonary arterial vasculature is well
visualized to the subsegmental level without filling defect to suggest
pulmonary embolism. No pathologically enlarged axillary or mediastinal lymph
nodes are identified, ranging up to 8 mm in the right lower paratracheal
station and 11 mm in the subcarinal station. A right hilar lymph node is 1.0 x
1.4cm and a left hilar lymph node is 1.6 x 1.8 cm. The heart, pericardium and
great vessels are within normal limits without significant coronary artery
calcifications. There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. A 5-mm right
thyroid nodule and a 7-mm left thyroid nodule are noted.
A moderate hiatal hernia is seen with a patulous upper esophagus.
Circumferential esophgeal wall thickening may be due to esophagitis or reflux.
Lung window images demonstrate heterogeneous opacities in the left upper lobe
and the bilateral lower lobes with some confluent opacity and volume loss in
the left lower lobe. The findings are concerning for multifocal pneumonia and
left lower lobe atelectasis.
This study is not tailored for subdiaphragmatic evaluation. The imaged
portions of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, bilateral adrenal
glands, kidney, and bowel are unremarkable.
BONE WINDOWS: No bone finding suspicious for infection or malignancy is seen.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute aortic pathology or pulmonary embolism.
2. Multifocal pneumonia.
3. Moderate hiatal hernia and patulous upper esophagus. Circumferential,
upper esopahgeal wall thickening could be due to esophagitis or chronic
reflux. This may place the patient at risk for aspiration.

PAST ONCOLOGIC HISTORY (per OMR):
As per last ___ clinic note by Dr ___:
"Colon cancer stage IIIC (T3N2M0) of the sigmoid colon with
progressive metastatic disease, KRAS mutated, MSI intact
- ___ Colonscopy for weight loss of 26 lbs in a year
revealed a fungating, circumferential mass of malignant
appearance was found in the sigmoid colon at 18cm. Biopsy
consistent with adenocarcinoma. CT torso revealed 3.7 cm segment
of the mid sigmoid colon demonstrating circumferential wall
thickening in keeping with tumor. There is no associated bowel
obstruction at present time. Adjacent mesenteric lymph nodes
measuring up to 6 mm in short axis dimension are noted. No
evidence of metastatic disease within the chest, abdomen, or
pelvis.
- ___ MR pelvis revealed Ill-defined sigmoid mass,
approximately 15 cm above the anal verge, as seen on the CT
examination from ___, with extension across the
muscularis propria. This is suspicious for T3 disease. 1.6 x 1.5
cm mass abutting the anterior aspect of the rectum and posterior
aspect of the seminal vesicles, 7 cm above the anal verge, is
suspicious for a drop metastasis as it is not convincingly
arising from rectal wall. This likely corresponds to the
palpable
finding on physical exam. Intrapelvic lymphadenopathy adjacent
to
the sigmoid mass, some with morphology suspicious for tumor
involvement.
- ___ Undderwent LAR. Path revealed colonic
adenocarcinoma
in the resected rectosigmoid colon. Tumor size was 3.6cm, low
grade, staged pT3. Margins were negative. Of the 15 nodes
examined, 6 were positive, thus staged pN2a. Finally, a separate
nodule of adenocarcinoma was identified 9 cm distal to the
primary tumor involving pericolonic adipose tissue, serosa, and
muscularis propria, consistent with metastasis of the primary
tumor. Furthermore, the resected peritoneal nodule showed
metastatic adenocarcinoma with perineural invasion. Thus, this
was staged pM1b. Of note, KRAS mutation was detected.
- ___ to ___ admitted for abdominal pain, OSH CT
was reviewed here and felt to be not concerning for any acute
intra-abdominal process including leak or abcess however there
was a high stool burden and gas. Pt discharged on bowel regimen.

Chief Complaint:
Shortness of breath
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
-None
History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ male with HTN who
presented with ___ weeks of cough and 6 hours of chest pain
associated with post-tussive emesis and shortness of breath.
He reports that a few days after ___, he developed nausea,
chills, sweats, achiness, and heart palpitations. He has a
history of chronic palpitations, but these were more severe than
normal and were painful so he had his son bring him to the ED
(this was in ___. He was told he had influenza and was
started on Tamiflu, benzonatate, and an albuterol inhaler. He
felt better within a few days, but he had a dry cough that
persisted. He was in ___ and ___ for the following
week and a half and they were quite active - walking around the
cities, ___, ___, etc. He said with a few of the hills he
felt slightly short of breath so he used the inhaler with
improvement in his breathing.
They came back from the ___ on ___ evening (___).
He
felt like his dry cough started to worsen again. He woke up
___ with shortness of breath and also noticed pain and
swelling in his right shoulder. He went to ___
where they did a RUE US which was negative for DVT. He was
discharged with an NSAIDs and plans for orthopedics follow up.
His arm is still swollen but the pain is improved since he
started taking naproxen.
Early this morning (___) he woke up at 2am with substernal,
non-radiating chest tightness associated with shortness of
breath. The chest pain/shortness of breath lasted from 2am to
10am and resolved spontaneously. It was not associated with
activity. He had been watching TV and was sleeping before it
started. He has never had chest pain like this in the past - his
previous episodes of chest pain were always associated with
palpitations.
Today in the ED, he was getting ready to go home, thinking that
his cough and shortness of breath was likely due to a viral
illness. However, he got up from bed, took 3 steps and acutely
felt very short of breath and diaphoretic and called for help.

to have decompensated heart failure, which caused fluid to back
up and accumulate in your legs. We gave you furosemide and then
torsemide, which were effective in getting rid of that extra
fluid.
In the hospital, your lab tests showed that you have high
glucose levels, and they've been high for some time. You were
diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and given insulin here. When you
go home, you can take metformin for your diabetes. With
metformin, you do not need to monitor your blood glucose levels

distended with possible wall thickening but no surrounding fat stranding. The
spleen, pancreas, and adrenal glands are normal.
There is a 2.8 x 1.7 x 1.7 cm lobulated mass in the upper pole of the left
kidney which is hypoenhancing compared with renal parenchyma and is concerning
for malignancy. Multiple hypodensities are seen in the bilateral kidneys. The
large hypodensities in the left kidney are consistent with simple cysts and
the smaller lesions bilaterally are too small to characterize but likely
represent cysts. There is no evidence of hydronephrosis. The stomach,
duodenum, and intra-abdominal loops of bowel are normal in caliber and
unremarkable. The appendix is normal. There is no retroperitoneal or
mesenteric lymphadenopathy. The intra-abdominal aorta is normal in
appearance.
PELVIS: The sigmoid colon and rectum are normal in appearance. There is a
bladder diverticulum. The prostate is slightly enlarged. 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. Degenerative changes are noted throughout
the visualized spine and hips.
IMPRESSION:
1. Distended gallbladder with possible edema of the gallbladder wall.
Recommend clinical correlation and possible right upper quadrant ultrasound if
indicated.
2. Lobulated contour at the upper pole of the left kidney concerning for
enhancing mass, likely renal cell carcinoma. MR evaluation ___ multiphasic CT
if patient not ammenable) is recommended.

HISTORY: Right upper quadrant abdominal pain, concerning for cholecystitis
and cholelithiasis.
TECHNIQUE: Grayscale and color and spectral Doppler ultrasound images of the
abdomen were obtained.
COMPARISON: Comparison is made with CT abdomen pelvis from the same day,
___.
FINDINGS: The liver shows no evidence of focal lesions or textural
abnormality. Doppler assessment of the main portal vein shows patency and
hepatopetal flow. There is no ascites. There is no evidence of intrahepatic
or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The CBD measures 6 mm. The gallbladder
is distended with dependent sludge and possible tiny stone. No other findings
to suggest acute cholecystitis. The tail of the pancreas is not well
visualized due to overlying bowel gas, but the visualized portions of the
pancreas are unremarkable. The spleen measures 10.5 cm and has a homogeneous
echotexture. Limited views of the bilateral kidneys are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: Distended gallbladder with dependent sludge and possible tiny
stone. No other findings to suggest acute cholecystitis.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Right lobulated kidney mass suspicious for malignancy. Further
evaluation requested.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained through the abdomen and
pelvis before and after the administration of intravenous contrast.
Multiplanar reformatted images in coronal and sagittal axes were generated.
DLP: 833 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS: The bases of the lungs are clear. The visualized heart and
pericardium are unremarkable.
CT ABDOMEN: The liver is hypoattenuating consistent with steatosis. There
are no focal lesions or intrahepatic biliary dilatation. The portal vein is
patent. The gallbladder is mildly distended with some adjacent fat stranding;
however, there is no gallbladder wall edema or pericholecystic fluid. The
pancreas, spleen and adrenal glands are unremarkable. The right kidney
enhances without focal lesions or hydronephrosis.
In the left kidney in the upper pole, there is a partially exophytic lobulated
mass measuring 2.4 x 2.4 x 2 cm, demonstrates low-level enhancement. Multiple
other hypodense lesions within the left kidney are consistent with cysts; the
largest of which measures 5.1 cm.
Stomach, duodenum and small bowel are unremarkable. The colon demonstrates
scattered diverticulosis without evidence of diverticulitis. The appendix is
visualized and there is no evidence of appendicitis. There is no
retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymph node enlargement by CT size criteria.
There is no ascites, free air or abdominal wall hernias. The intra-abdominal
vasculature demonstrates scattered atherosclerotic calcifications.
CT PELVIS: The prostate is enlarged. There is a bladder diverticulum at the
right side of the bladder. There is no pelvic free fluid. No inguinal or
pelvic lymphadenopathy.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No lytic or sclerotic lesion suspicious for malignancy is
present. Multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracolumbar spine are
noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. Low level enhancing lesion in the upper pole of the left kidney, highly
suggestive of a renal cell carcinoma and does not appear to represent a
hyperdense cyst. Suggest Urology evaluation or further characterized by
nonemergent MRI if clinically indicated.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN AND MRA NECKMRI of the head with and without
contrast.MRI AND MRA BRAIN AND MRA NECK
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with hodgkins // eval for etiology left
occiptal neuralgia
TECHNIQUE: MRI of the brain is performed and includes the following
sequences: sagittal T1-weighted, axial fast spin echo T2-weighted, axial
FLAIR, axial diffusion weighted and axial gradient echo images. The T1
weighted images were repeated after the administration of intravenous
gadolinium contrast, sagittal MPRAGE and multiplanar reconstructions were also
obtained.
MRA of the head. 3D time arteriography of the head vessels was obtained,
axial source images and maximal intensity projection images were reviewed.
COMPARISON: No prior examinations of the head are available.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, mass effect or shifting
of the normally midline structures. The ventricles and sulci are slightly
prominent, suggesting cortical volume loss, probably age related and
involutional in nature. Multiple scattered foci of high signal intensity are
identified on T2 and FLAIR sequences, distributed in the pons, subcortical and
periventricular white matter, which are nonspecific and may reflect changes
due to small vessel disease. No diffusion abnormalities are detected. There is
no evidence of abnormal enhancement to suggest leptomeningeal disease. The
major vascular flow voids are present and demonstrate normal distribution. The
orbits are unremarkable, the paranasal sinuses are clear, minimal mucosal
thickening is noted at the tip of the mastoid air cells bilaterally.
MRI Brain: There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage or mass
effect. The ventricles and basal cisterns appear normal.
There is no evidence of acute infarct based on diffusion-weighted imaging.
There are normal vascular flow voids. There is diffuse brain parenchymal
volume loss. There are punctate and confluent areas of subcortical T2/FLAIR
signal hyperintensity which are nonspecific though presumably relate to
sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
There is no abnormal brain parenchymal or leptomeningeal enhancement.
The orbits and mastoid air cells are unremarkable. There is a right maxillary
sinus mucosal retention cyst.
MRA neck: The common, internal and external carotid arteries appear normal.
There is no evidence of internal carotid artery stenosis by NASCET criteria.
The subclavian arteries in the origins of the common carotid arteries appear
normal. The origin of the right vertebral artery is not well seen which is
commonly artifact although stenosis is not excluded
IMPRESSION:
There is no evidence of acute intracranial process. Scattered foci of high
signal intensity detected on FLAIR and T2 weighted images, distributed in the
subcortical and periventricular white matter, are nonspecific and may reflect
changes due to small vessel disease.There is no evidence of abnormal
enhancement.
1. No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, or acute
infarct.
2. Brain parenchymal volume loss and probable sequelae of chronic
microangiopathy.
3. No evidence of stenosis, dissection, or occlusion within the vasculature of
the neck.

the type of pain you were having and the appearance of some
rashes on those regions. We did further biospy of the rash and
found out that this pain may be related to your chemotherapy
brentuximab. We were also concerned about the diarrhea you had
during your admission but this has seemed to resolve. We also
thought that the diarrhea may be related to your chemotherapy in
concert with other medications you are taking. We consulted with
neurology about your symptoms and it would be best if you follow
up with an outpatient neurology provider for further assessment
and management of this pain. We discussed with you taking
neurontin, lyrica or receiving injections to help alleviate your

CLINICAL INFORMATION: Bacteremia.
___ as well ___.
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained. There is
minimal bibasilar atelectasis. Slight increase in the interstitial markings,
more so at the lung bases could be artifactual, although atypical infection
cannot be excluded. No lobar consolidation is seen. No large pleural
effusion or pneumothorax. Cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are stable and
unremarkable.
Radiology Report
SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST
REASON FOR EXAM: Assess line.
Right PICC is malpositioned. The tip is going up in the right internal
jugular vein.

level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
You presented to ___ on ___ after suffering a motor
vehicle collision. You were found to have a rib fracture, left
lung puncture, a right hip fracture and a left radius fracture.
You were admitted to the Trauma/Acute Care Surgery team for
further medical treatment.
On admission, you were noted to have seizure activity and
Neurology was consulted. You were started on Keppra and it is
recommended you continue to take this medication for at least
the next 6 (six) months. Please do NOT drive for six months.
You have a follow-up appointment scheduled with the outpatient
Neurology clinic.
You were evaluated by the Orthopaedics and Plastics teams. On
___, you were taken to the Operating Room and underwent
surgery for your right hip fracture. On ___, you had
surgery to repair your left radius fracture. You tolerated
these procedures well.
You have worked with Physical and Occupational Therapy who
recommend your discharge to rehab. You are tolerating a regular
diet and your pain is controlled. You are now medically cleared
to be discharged to rehab to continue your recovery.
Please note the following discharge instructions:
* Your injury caused a left rib fracture which can cause severe
pain and subsequently cause you to take shallow breaths because
of the pain.
* You should take your pain medication as directed to stay ahead
of the pain otherwise you won't be able to take deep breaths. If
the pain medication is too sedating take half the dose and
notify your physician.
* Pneumonia is a complication of rib fractures. In order to
decrease your risk you must use your incentive spirometer 4
times every hour while awake. This will help expand the small
airways in your lungs and assist in coughing up secretions that
pool in the lungs.
* You will be more comfortable if you use a cough pillow to hold
against your chest and guard your rib cage while coughing and
deep breathing.
* Symptomatic relief with ice packs or heating pads for short
periods may ease the pain.
* Narcotic pain medication can cause constipation therefore you
should take a stool softener twice daily and increase your fluid
and fiber intake if possible.
* Do NOT smoke
* If your doctor allows, non-steroidal ___ drugs
are very effective in controlling pain ( ie, Ibuprofen, Motrin,
Advil, Aleve, Naprosyn) but they have their own set of side
effects so make sure your doctor approves.
* Return to the Emergency Room right away for any acute
shortness of breath, increased pain or crackling sensation
around your ribs (crepitus).
Please call your doctor or nurse practitioner or return to the
Emergency Department for any of the following:
*You experience new chest pain, pressure, squeezing or
tightness.
*New or worsening cough, shortness of breath, or wheeze.
*If you are vomiting and cannot keep down fluids or your
medications.
*You are getting dehydrated due to continued vomiting, diarrhea,
or other reasons. Signs of dehydration include dry mouth, rapid
heartbeat, or feeling dizzy or faint when standing.
*You see blood or dark/black material when you vomit or have a
bowel movement.

Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius.
*Any change in your symptoms, or any new symptoms that concern
you.
Please resume all regular home medications, unless specifically
advised not to take a particular medication. Also, please take
any new medications as prescribed.
Please get plenty of rest, continue to ambulate several times
per day, and drink adequate amounts of fluids. Avoid lifting
weights greater than ___ lbs until you follow-up with your
surgeon.
Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while taking pain
medications.
Incision Care:
*Please call your doctor or nurse practitioner if you have
increased pain, swelling, redness, or drainage from the incision
site.
*Avoid swimming and baths until your follow-up appointment.
*You may shower, and wash surgical incisions with a mild soap
and warm water. Gently pat the area dry.

MICROBIOLOGY
================================================
ENTEROBACTER ASBURIAE. This organism may develop resistance to
third generation cephalosporins during prolonged therapy.
Therefore, isolates that are initially susceptible may become
resistant within three to four days after initiation of therapy.
For serious infections,repeat culture and sensitivity testing
may therefore be warranted if third generation cephalosporins
were used.

supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___
protocol. The left chest and left abdomen were prepped and draped in the
usual sterile fashion.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent left 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. The ___ wire
was then passed distally into the IVC.
Next, attention was turned towards creation of a tunnel over the upper
anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local anesthesia
using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a small skin incision was made at the
tunnel entry site. A 54 cm tip-to-cuff length ___ dual lumen catheter was
selected and trimmed to the appropriate length. The catheter was tunneled from
the entry site towards the venotomy site from where it was brought out using a
tunneling device. The venotomy tract was dilated using the introducer of the
peel-away sheath supplied. Following this, the peel-away sheath was placed
over the ___ wire through which the catheter was threaded into the right
side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium. The sheath was then peeled
away. The catheter was sutured in place with 0 silk sutures and a Stay Fix
device. Steri-strips were also used to close the venotomy incision site. Final

INDICATION: History: ___ with shortness of breath // ?pneumonia
TECHNIQUE: AP upright portable view of the chest
COMPARISON: ___
FINDINGS:
The lungs remain hyperinflated. There is increased opacity projecting over
the right mid to lower lung which may be due to infection or aspiration.
Subtle lateral left base opacity may be due to atelectasis or additional site
of infection. No large pleural effusion is seen. There is no pneumothorax.
The cardiac silhouette is mildly enlarged. Mediastinal contours unremarkable.
There is central pulmonary vascular engorgement.
IMPRESSION:
Central pulmonary vascular engorgement and mild cardiomegaly. Increased
opacity projecting over the right mid to lower lung is concerning for
pneumonia and/or aspiration

level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
You were admitted to ___
worsening shortness of breath.
WHAT HAPPENED DURING YOUR HOSPITAL STAY?
==========================================
- You were given medications to help you breath (nebulizers),
antibiotics due to initial concern for infection, and diuretics
to help you urinate.
- You were placed on a mask to help you breath. Lab tests showed
signs of heart dysfunction and an echo/ultrasound showed that
your heart was not pumping well. You were observed in the
cardiac intensive care unit overnight.
- Once your breathing improved with nebulizers and diuretics,
you were taken for a cardiac catheterization to evaluate the
vessels of the heart. Ultimately, there was mild to moderate
narrowing, but not enough to explain the changes. We believe
you have "stress induced cardiomyopathy" which can be treated
with medications.
- You were started medications to help your heart as well as a
blood thinner called Coumadin to help prevent strokes from this
heart dysfunction in the future.
- Once you were deemed stable on your new regimen you were
discharged.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO FOLLOWING DISCHARGE?
=========================================
- You should take all of your medications as prescribed.
-- You should give yourself the Enoxaparin injections once a
day, until you are told to stop (once Coumadin levels are
appropriate).
- You should get blood draws to confirm Coumadin levels are
appropriate. These can be done at the ___
___. Please get your blood drawn next on ___.
- You should attend appointments with your PCP and cardiologist,
scheduled below.
It was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospital stay.
If you have any questions about the care you received, please do
not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Your Inpatient ___ Cardiology Team |

Discharge Worksheet
================================================
Dear Mr. ___,
You came to ___ because you were having bloody bowel
movements. You received multiple units of blood and had two
colonoscopies with placement of clips. Your bleeding stopped and
you were started on a heparin drip for your mechanical valves
and started on your home dose of Coumadin. Once your INR was in
the therapeutic range your heparin was discontinued. Your blood
counts remained stable. You were also treated for congestive
heart failure which was likely caused by the blood transfusions.
Your insulin doses were decreased because you are eating less.
You should continue to monitor your sugars. You will be
discharged to rehab to improve your functional status.
It was a pleasure participating in your care. We wish you the
best!

REPORTS AND IMAGING STUDIES
===========================
------ ___ CT ABDOMEN w/o CONTRAST ------
FINDINGS:
Chest is reported separately.
Gallbladder is distended probably due to fasting state. A few
hepatic cysts are identified. Small calcification in the left
lateral segments of the liver, as before. There is no biliary
dilatation. The pancreas appears normal. The spleen is normal
in size and appearance. Each adrenal is again mildly thickened.
There is no evidence for stones or hydronephrosis involving
either kidney. Renal cysts are identified in the left kidney
that appear simple and benign.
Nearly the whole stomach is in the chest. Short segment of the
transverse
colon also herniates into the chest without obstruction. This
visualized
small bowel is unremarkable. There is no ascites or
lymphadenopathy.
There are no suspicious bone lesions. Bones appear
demineralized. Mild
compression deformity of the L3 vertebral body appears
unchanged.
IMPRESSION: Chest is reported separately. No significant
abnormality involving the abdomen.
------ ___ CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST -----
FINDINGS:
Tracheostomy terminates shortly above the carina. Feeding tube
terminates in a large hiatal hernia.
Heart is mildly enlarged with mild coronary artery
calcification. Patchy calcification is also found along the
aortic valve. Thoracic aorta is normal in caliber and mildly
calcified. Central pulmonary arteries are mildly calcified.
There is no lymphadenopathy in the chest. There is no
pericardial effusion. Trace pleural effusions are found
bilaterally.
This study shows a large hiatal hernia containing essentially
the entire stomach with an air contrast level. The hernia
appears somewhat less distended, although mostly full. The
transverse colon enters and exits the hernia sac without
obstruction, as before.
Increased opacities in each lower lobe may be due to atelectasis
or pneumonia. More extensive in the left lung than right are
patchy new consolidations, not exclusively dependent. These
areas suggest active pneumonia. Ground-glass opacities in the
upper lobes have increased and are less specific; these could be
seen with the mild pulmonary edema or could accompany a more
widespread infectious process. Regional bronchiectasis is very
similar in the left upper lobe.
The right mainstem bronchus some most fully collapses, more so
than the left, which suggests malacia.
The abdomen is reported separately.
Bones appear demineralized. There are no suspicious bone
lesions. Prior bilateral rib fractures appear unchanged.
Moderate to severe compression fracture of the T10 vertebral
body appears unchanged.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large hiatal hernia containing the whole stomach and a
contrast fluid level. Less distention than before, however.
Similar nonobstructed transverse colon within the hernia.
2. New moderately extensive multifocal opacities, left greater
than right, suggesting pneumonia, possibly due to aspiration as
an etiology.
3. Ground-glass opacities in the upper lobes, edema versus
infection.
4. Suspected bronchomalacia.
___ EGD
- Esophageal hiatal hernia
- Gastric ulcer
- Normal mucousa in the whole examined duodenum
- Whorled mucousa at level of distal body/antrum with turn
consistent with hiated, inverted stomach. We were able to
traverse the area easily with a pediatric gastroscope. The
pylorus was widely patent and we were able to move into the
duodenal bulb.
- Normal mucosa in the whole esophagus
- Resistance met at the upper esophageal sphincter and we could
not traverse the area with gastroscope. We converted to a
pediatric gastroscope and were able to traverse the area easily.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT CHEST/ABD/PELVIS W/ CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with gastric volvulus, abdominal pain,
hematemesis// Characterize gastric volvulus
TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were acquired through the chest, abdomen and
pelvis following intravenous contrast administration with split bolus
technique.
Oral contrast was not administered.
Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 6.4 s, 50.1 cm; CTDIvol = 17.5 mGy (Body) DLP = 876.1
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 876 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis ___.
FINDINGS:
The study is limited by motion artifact. Within these confines:
CHEST:
HEART AND VASCULATURE: The thoracic aorta is normal in caliber without
evidence of acute injury. The heart, pericardium, and great vessels are
within normal limits. No pericardial effusion is seen.
AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: No axillary, mediastinal, or hilar
lymphadenopathy is present. No mediastinal mass or hematoma.
PLEURAL SPACES: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
LUNGS/AIRWAYS: Evaluation of lungs is limited by motion artifact. Mild,
dependent atelectasis. Ground-glass opacities in the bilateral lower lobes
likely reflect aspiration, in the setting of the large hiatal hernia,
described in further detail below. The central airways appear patent.
BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality.
BONES: Chronic appearing rib deformities of the right lateral third through
fifth ribs and left anterolateral fourth through fifth ribs.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout.
Again seen are multiple circumscribed, hypodense lesions within the liver,
measuring up to approximately 2.5 cm, likely cysts. Focal calcification
within the left hepatic lobe. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or
extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is within normal limits.
PANCREAS: The pancreas is atrophic, 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 lesion or laceration.
ADRENALS: The right adrenal gland is normal. The left adrenal gland appears
nodular and thickened.
URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram.
Multiple renal hypodensities measure up to 3.7 cm, likely cysts. Other,
subcentimeter bilateral renal hypodensities are too small to characterize.
There is no hydronephrosis. There is no perinephric abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: Again seen is a large hiatal hernia, with the entirety of
the stomach herniated above the diaphragm. An enteric tube terminates within
the stomach, and the stomach is mildly decompressed compared to the prior
examination. At approximately the level of the pylorus (601:32, 602:38) is a
transition point with a small twist, measuring approximately 90 degrees, with
a caliber change leading to decompressed small bowel loops. There is no
pneumatosis or intraperitoneal free air. Small and large-bowel loops are
included in the large hiatal hernia. Otherwise, the colon and rectum are
within normal limits.
PELVIS:
Hyperdensity within the bladder is compatible with previously excreted
contrast. There is no free fluid in the pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The uterus is normal in size. 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 or retroperitoneal hematoma.
Moderate atherosclerotic disease is noted.
BONES: Levoconvex curvature of the lumbar spine. A left femoral prosthesis is
in place, limiting evaluation of adjacent structures. Moderate to severe
multilevel degenerative changes, including mild anterolisthesis of L4 on L5.
Compression deformities of T10 and L3 are of uncertain chronicity. Fractures
are focal suspicious osseous abnormality.
SOFT TISSUES: The abdominal and pelvic wall is within normal limits.
IMPRESSION:
1. Complete herniation of the stomach above the diaphragm, mildly decompressed
following interval placement of an enteric tube, with redemonstration of a
sharp transition point at the level of the pylorus. A small twist measuring
approximately 90 degrees is at the level of the pylorus. No evidence of
perforation or pneumatosis.
2. Ground-glass opacities of the bilateral lower lobes likely reflect
aspiration, in the setting of the large hiatal hernia.
3. Compression deformities of the T10 and L3 vertebral bodies, of uncertain
chronicity.

tube position, whether or not bowel has reduced, e/o bowel ischemia
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the abdomen were obtained with out
intravenous contrast. Oral contrast was administered.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 9.7 s, 37.1 cm; CTDIvol = 9.9 mGy (Body) DLP = 350.9
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 364 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: ___ and chest CT from the same day.
FINDINGS:
Chest is reported separately.
Gallbladder is distended probably due to fasting state. A few hepatic cysts
are identified. Small calcification in the left lateral segments of the
liver, as before. There is no biliary dilatation. The pancreas appears
normal. The spleen is normal in size and appearance. Each adrenal is again
mildly thickened. There is no evidence for stones or hydronephrosis involving
either kidney. Renal cysts are identified in the left kidney that appear
simple and benign.
Nearly the whole stomach is in the chest. Short segment of the transverse
colon also herniates into the chest without obstruction. This visualized
small bowel is unremarkable. There is no ascites or lymphadenopathy.
There are no suspicious bone lesions. Bones appear demineralized. Mild
compression deformity of the L3 vertebral body appears unchanged.
IMPRESSION:
Chest is reported separately. No significant abnormality involving the
abdomen.

INDICATION: ___ year old woman with large hiatal hernia // Please perform
with PO contrast, no IV contrast. Eval for progression of torsion, hernia, NG
tube position, whether or not bowel has reduced, e/o bowel ischemia
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the chest were obtained without
intravenous contrast. Sagittal and coronal reformations of also been
performed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 9.7 s, 37.1 cm; CTDIvol = 9.9 mGy (Body) DLP = 350.9
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 364 mGy-cm.
** Note: This radiation dose report was copied from CLIP ___ (CT ABDOMEN
W/O CONTRAST)
COMPARISON: CT of the chest is available from ___.
FINDINGS:
Tracheostomy terminates shortly above the carina. Feeding tube terminates in
a large hiatal hernia.
Heart is mildly enlarged with mild coronary artery calcification. Patchy
calcification is also found along the aortic valve. Thoracic aorta is normal
in caliber and mildly calcified. Central pulmonary arteries are mildly
calcified.
There is no lymphadenopathy in the chest. There is no pericardial effusion.
Trace pleural effusions are found bilaterally.
This study shows a large hiatal hernia containing essentially the entire
stomach with an air contrast level. The hernia appears somewhat less
distended, although mostly full. The transverse colon enters and exits the
hernia sac without obstruction, as before.
Increased opacities in each lower lobe may be due to atelectasis or pneumonia.
More extensive in the left lung than right are patchy new consolidations, not
exclusively dependent. These areas suggest active pneumonia. Ground-glass
opacities in the upper lobes have increased and are less specific; these could
be seen with the mild pulmonary edema or could accompany a more widespread
infectious process. Regional bronchiectasis is very similar in the left upper
lobe.
The right mainstem bronchus some most fully collapses, more so than the left,
which suggests malacia.
The abdomen is reported separately.
Bones appear demineralized. There are no suspicious bone lesions. Prior
bilateral rib fractures appear unchanged. Moderate to severe compression
fracture of the T10 vertebral body appears unchanged.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large hiatal hernia containing the whole stomach and a contrast fluid
level. Less distention than before, however. Similar nonobstructed
transverse colon within the hernia.
2. New moderately extensive multifocal opacities, left greater than right,
suggesting pneumonia, possibly due to aspiration as an etiology.
3. Ground-glass opacities in the upper lobes, edema versus infection.
4. Suspected bronchomalacia.
Radiology Report

FINDINGS:
Contrast has largely left a large hiatal hernia. The contrast visibly
opacifies loops of bowel in the pelvis. These probably consist of small bowel
loops. A nasogastric tube again terminates in a large hiatal hernia. Bowel
gas pattern is unremarkable. No free air.
IMPRESSION:
Anterograde progression of enteric contrast, now mostly opacifying distal
small bowel loops in the deep pelvis.

noncalcified atherosclerotic plaque is noted in the aortic arch and descending
thoracic aorta with severe narrowing at the level of the aortic arch. There
is also greater than 50% is narrowing of the proximal left subclavian artery.
Motion artifact limits evaluation for pulmonary embolism. However, no large
central pulmonary embolism is identified. There is question of a filling
defect within the right upper lobe posterior segmental branch (301:71) however
this region is significantly degraded by motion artifact and this finding may
be artifactual. The main and right pulmonary arteries are normal in caliber,
and there is no evidence of right heart strain.
There is no supraclavicular, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. A
borderline sized right axillary lymph node is noted measuring up to 0.9 cm.
The thyroid gland appears unremarkable.
There is no evidence of pericardial effusion. There is a trace right pleural
effusion with associated passive atelectasis. There are multiple
subcentimeter ground-glass nodules in the right upper lobe with a branching
distribution with patchy underlying ground-glass opacification.
Fluid/debris is present within the trachea.
Limited images of the upper abdomen demonstrate an enteric tube with tip
passed the GE junction. A subcentimeter hypodensity is noted in hepatic
segment 7, that is too small to characterize.
No lytic or blastic osseous lesion suspicious for malignancy is identified.

IMAGING:
- CT ABD/PEL (___): IMPRESSION: 1. High-grade, partial
small bowel obstruction with a possible transition point in the
right upper quadrant, likely related to surgical adhesions. No
free air. 2. Small right nonhemorrhagic pleural effusion.
- ECHO (___): The left atrium is elongated. No atrial
septal defect is seen by 2D or color Doppler. The estimated
right atrial pressure is ___ mmHg. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity is
moderately dilated. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal
wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall left
ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). The
estimated cardiac index is high (>4.0L/min/m2). Tissue Doppler
imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure
(PCWP>18mmHg). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The
aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good
leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis or aortic
regurgitation. The increased transaortic velocity is likely
related to high cardiac output. The mitral valve leaflets are
mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve prolapse. Trivial
mitral regurgitation is seen. There is borderline pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. There is a very small pericardial
effusion. ***IMPRESSION: Mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy with preserved regional systolic function. Increased
PCWP. Increased PCWP. Compared with the prior study (images
reviewed) of ___, regiong left ventricular systolic
function is now normal and the severity of mitral regurgitation
is now reduced.

___ was pleasure taking care of you at ___
___. You were initially admitted to the ICU for
treatment of your small bowel obstruciton (SBO) and very
elevated blood pressure. You underwent a surgical operation to
relieve your SBO, and you tolerated this procedure well. You
were able to eat and drink and have normal bowel movements prior
to discharge. While you were having your SBO, you also developed
some acute decrease in your kidney function. This gradually
improved as your condition improved.
You were found to have an infection in your belly called
peritonitis. For this you are on treatment with two antibiotics,
one called ciprofloxacin and one called flagyl. You will take
ciprofloxacin twice a day for 4 more days, then daily ongoing.
You will take flagyl three times per day for 4 more days, then
stop.
For treatment of your very elevated blood pressure you required
high doses of IV blood pressure medications. Your blood pressure
gradually decreased. You were transitioned to oral blood
pressure medicaitons prior to discharge. It appears that you
have very elevated blood pressure at baseline, and your blood
pressure was at your baseline prior to discharge. Please
continue to take these blood pressure medications after you are
discharged from the hospital. Also, please discuss with your PCP
if you require any additional work-up of your high blood
pressure as an outpatient. Despite your elevated blood pressure,
you did not have any symptoms. If you develop symptoms of
headache, vision changes, or any other symptoms that concern you
while your blood pressure is very elevated, please return to the
Emergency Department immediately.
For your cryoglobulinemia you were evaluated by the phresis
team. They felt that you would benefit from phresis treatments.
A large dialysis line was placed in your neck vein, and you were
started on phresis. You will need to follow up with your renal
doctors to determine if you need any additional treatments after
discharge.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CTA chest
INDICATION: ___ woman presenting with chest pain radiating to the
back. Evaluate for pulmonary embolus.
TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax
after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast.
Reformatted coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal
intensity projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 580 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CTA chest dated ___.
FINDINGS:
The study is markedly limited by respiratory and cardiac motion artifact as
well as streak artifact. The heart is mildly enlarged.
The aorta and its major branch vessels are patent, with no evidence of
stenosis, occlusion, dissection, or aneurysmal formation. The patient is
status-post CABG.
The central and lobar pulmonary arteries are well opacified bilaterally
without filling defect to suggest pulmonary embolism. More distal branches
including the segmental and subsegmental branches particularly on the right
are limited by respiratory and cardiac motion artifact. The main and right
pulmonary arteries are normal in caliber.
A prominent right lower paratracheal station lymph node retains its normal
fatty hilum and is similar to the prior exam (series 3, image 67). No
supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. The thyroid
is heterogeneous with several mixed density nodules on the right, one
measuring at least 2 cm in size.
There is no evidence of pericardial effusion. There is no pleural effusion.
Detailed evaluation of the parenchyma is limited by respiratory and cardiac
motion artifact. There is an oblong 4 x 8 mm nodule in the right upper lobe
(3:70), unchanged since ___. An additional 3 mm lingular nodule (03:106) is
also unchanged. Other than bibasilar atelectasis, no suspicious pulmonary
nodule is identified. The airways are patent to the subsegmental level.
Limited images of the upper abdomen are unremarkable other than a small hiatal
hernia.
No lytic or blastic osseous lesion suspicious for malignancy is identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. Motion-limited study. No evidence of an acute central pulmonary embolus or
an acute aortic abnormality.
2. A 4 x 8-mm nodule in the right upper lobe is stable since ___, but

WHY WAS I ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL?
===================================
-Bloody diarrhea and bloody vomit
WHAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL?
==========================================
- You were given blood through a transfusion while you were in
the ICU because your red blood cell counts were low.
- Our gastroenterology team did an imaging study where they
looked inside your stomach with a camera to look for a source of
bleeding. During that procedure an ulcer was found in your
duodenum, which was likely the source of the bleeding and
stomach pain. You were started on a medication called
Pantoprazole to reduce the acid production in your stomach,
which should help the ulcer heal. You were also started on
another medication to help the ulcer heal, called sucralfate.
- Your blood sugar was very elevated on admission (over 900). We
started you on an insulin drip to bring down the sugar and
ketones in your blood while you were on the intensive care unit.
When you left the ICU, you were seen by the diabetes specialist
team who started you on a new insulin regimen for better blood
sugar control.
- Due to the pain you were having in your stomach, we started
you on a pain control regimen with acetaminophen and Oxycodone.
- You were found to have a large clot in your iliac and femoral
veins. You were started on an increased dose of the blood
thinner you were on before your GI bleed, called Apixaban.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER I LEAVE THE HOSPITAL?
============================================
- Please continue to take all your medications and follow up
with your doctors at your ___ appointments.
- Please take the new insulin regimen prescribed to you by our
diabetes team
- Please take your increased dose of apixaban (10mg twice a day)
until the end of the day on ___. At this point you
will be transitioned to a lower dose (5mg twice a day)
We wish you all the best!
Sincerely,
Your ___ Care Team |

Chief Complaint:
increasing frequency of focal seizures
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
___ is a pleasant ___
___,
right-handed woman, currently 19 weeks pregnant, as well as a
history of focal epilepsy since ___, who presents with acute
worsening of her seizure frequency starting on 2 days prior to
admission, patient started to have ___ of her typical focal
seizures per day.
Her history of her epilepsy is as follows. She developed the
seizures in ___, which were clinically diagnosed, and involved
right leg extension, and shaking of both extremities with
preservation of awareness. She was started on Dilantin at that
time. She never lost awareness during these episodes. She
reports that she is aware of the surroundings and can hear
voices, was unable to speak. In ___, she was
reportedly
at an outside hospital delivering a baby, and developed a new
type of seizure-like episode with right upper extremity shaking
as well. After the delivery, her Dilantin was increased as well
as Keppra being added to her regimen. She did have an LTM
admission here in ___. EEGs showed multiple stereotyped
awakenings from sleep with posturing of bilateral hands, with
right upper extremity stiffening and left arm rubbing her nose.
This was associated with tachycardia and sometimes bradycardia
with occasional pauses, but no clear electrographic correlate.
Due to this, she had an implantable loop recorder placed prior
to
discharge. MRI at this time showed a left temporal flair
hyperintensity, concerning for either a neuronal migratory
defect
or gliosis. Since her discharge in ___, she continued to
report
nocturnal seizures and her Keppra was increased to 1500 mg in
the
morning and 2250 mg at night. Her oxcarbazepine was also
increased to 600 mg in the morning and then 900 mg at night.
In terms of possible provoking factors, she reports that since 4
nights ago, members of her extended family had visited her at
home and have been holding late night parties. Previously she
had been sleeping about 12 hours per day, but now sleeping more
like 6. In addition, she has had 2 of her children the sick
over
the past several days, and she has developed a new left
maxillary
sinus pressure. She denies any fevers or chills or signs or
symptoms of infection including urinary tract infection. She
reports being compliant with medications, though according to
her
primary epileptologist, she has had issues with medication
adherence in the past.

level of pain: 8
level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear ___,
You were hospitalized because you had greatly increased seizure
frequency at home. This was likely caused by a combination of
your recent lack of sleep, your pregnancy, and a urinary tract
infection. Keppra was increased to 2250 mg twice a day.
Tripleptal was increased to 900 mg in the morning and 1200 mg at
night. You were seen to have multiple seizures overnight that
was recorded on the EEG monitor.
We strongly encouraged you to stay in the hospital for another
night for seizure monitoring while we are adjusting your
medication. Risks of undertreated seizures include prolonged
seizures, which can lead to breathing or heart problems, and
sometimes death (Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy patients).
You understood the risks of going home, despite our advice that
you stay for optimization of your seizure control. Please come
back to the hospital or go to the nearest ED if you experience
more than your typical seizures per day.
As you know, please avoid any activities that could be dangerous
if you were to have a seizure during them including but not
limited to swimming alone, cooking near a hot stove, operating
heavy machinery, driving for 6 months from most recent seizure
as per ___ law.
Sincerely,
Your ___ neurology team |
