Radiology

This is multifocal embolic disease without identifiable etiology. Abrupt occlusion of mid-distal R. radial artery. Multiple occlusions in proximal & mid R. ulnar & common interosseous arteries. Multiple occlusions of R. princeps pollicis & digital arteries. Abrupt occlusion of R. posterior humeral circumflex artery. Findings represent R. upper extremity embolic disease secondary to quadrilateral space syndrome. Improved flow at day 2, following Uni-Fuse® catheter placement in distal brachial artery for lysis.

The hepatic hyperdensities on the previous CT images are arterial aneurysms. Two contrast enhanced images taken at onset of abdominal pain reveal intraparenchymal bleeding consistent w/ rupture. The 1st intervention image shows active extravasation (blue arrows) from R. hepatic branch & multiple L. hepatic branches. The R. hepatic artery branch was embolized first (2nd image). Images 3 & 4 show L. hepatic artery ultra-selective branch coil embolization w/ coil lengths ranging 4-20 mm.

No mystery this time. A simple proximal and mid femoral artery occlusion, with distal FA being perfused by a collateral vessel. Tardus parvus waveform can be appreciated throughout the distal limb.


A 52-year-old man presented with a 20-minute history of chest pain radiating to the left shoulder and neck, associated with dyspnea and diaphoresis. He had a history of hypertension, long-term smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle. On physical examination, bibasilar crackles were noted on lung auscultation. An electrocardiogram (ECG) was performed in the primary care setting, and the patient was promptly referred to the emergency department.


A 28-year-old woman presented with a 3-day history of intense pruritus over the lower back. She reported no recent travel or exposure to new environments. She cares for a small kennel with approximately eight dogs rescued from the streets. Physical examination revealed multiple small vesicles, some clustered and others scattered, predominantly involving the lumbar region and the left gluteal area.


A 4-month-old male infant presented with skin lesions localized to the chin for the past 3 days. Physical examination revealed multiple small pustules with surrounding inflammatory signs on the chin, along with a few scattered papules on the chest.


Patient in late teens presenting after a collapse, no chest pain, no previous cardiac history, no history of sudden death in family, are there any features in this ekg that would warrant further work-up or is this just a pediatric ekg?
