HPI: The patient is a ___ right-handed man with a history of
prior CVA ___, R MCA), hypertension, T2DM, dyslipidemia and
schizophrenia presenting after an episode of altered mental
status and speech changes.
This afternoon around 4:30 his daughter called him and he
sounded
fine. They received a call again at 8:30 ___ from his neighbor.
They reported that Mr. ___ walked over to his neighbor's
apartment and knocked on the door, complaining of dizziness and
not feeling well. He was only dressed in his underwear. He asked
for help calling his family and they called ___ first, before
calling the family. They noticed his speech was somewhat
slurred,
but he was still comprehensible. He also complained that he
"couldn't see anything," but was still looking at people when
they spoke to him. His children arrived to find him confused and
disheveled. When EMS arrived, they evaluated him and told the
family he was "all right" and left. While at home with his
family, they noticed he had not taken his medications all day
and
that he was still very off from his baseline. He was able to
ambulated and go to the bathroom, but he was unable to wipe
himself. They called EMS again and they brought him to the ___
ED.
On the way, Mr. ___ was falling asleep in between speaking.
His speech continued to be more slurred than his baseline. They
did not notice any deficits in his ability to move his arms or
legs.
Of note, Mr. ___ has been quite ill as of late. His children
report that over the weekend he started taking laxatives because
he was constipated. On ___, he and his son went up to ___ to
get fresh lobster and sea urchin and he cooked them for dinner.
That night, he was up all night vomiting. Since then, he has not
been eating or drinking at his baseline. Mr. ___ also told
one
of his daughters that he has been getting over a cold.
Regarding his prior stroke, Mr. ___ had sudden onset of
electric shock sensation in his feet and left-sided weakness
before he fell and developed slurred speech in the ___.
He was treated at ___ where he had a workup
revealing
a R MCA stroke and a "clot in his heart." He was known to have
had cardiomyopathy with an LV thrombus and was on Coumadin, but
he stopped it just before his stroke because of guiac-positive
stools. He went to rehab after this stroke, but has had
stiffness
and weakness in his left arm and leg since. He will often have
recurrence of his left facial droop as well from time to time.
Review of systems was difficult to assess given his level of
inattention and agitation during our encounter. He was also
actively vomiting. His children were able to respond to the
following:
On review of systems, they report the following:

___.
Bilateral carotid ultrasound ___:
IMPRESSION:
No evidence of atherosclerotic disease in the bilateral carotid
vasculature.
Transthoracic echocardiogram ___:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. No atrial septal defect is
seen by 2D or color Doppler. Left ventricular wall thicknesses
are normal. The left ventricular cavity size is normal. There is
mild to moderate regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction
with severe hypokinesis of the distal half of the ventricle. The
apex is mildly aneurysmal. There is mild hypokinesis of the
remaining segments (LVEF = 25 %). No masses or thrombi are seen
in the left ventricle. Tissue Doppler imaging suggests an
increased left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). Right
ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The
descending thoracic aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic valve
leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not
present. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. There is no mitral valve
prolapse. An eccentric, laterally directed jet of moderate (2+)
mitral regurgitation is seen (clip 53). Due to the eccentric
nature of the regurgitant jet, its severity may be significantly
underestimated (Coanda effect). There is borderline pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. There is a trivial/physiologic
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Normal left ventricular cavity size with regional
and global systolic dysfunction. At least moderate mitral
regurgitation. Increased PCWP. Compared with the prior study
(images reviewed) of ___, the severity of mitral
regurgitation has increased.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
You were hospitalized due to symptoms of confusion, dizziness,
and right sided neglect (not noticing your right side) 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:
high blood pressure, diabetes, poor heart function causing clots
to form in your heart
We are changing your medications as follows:
Continuing Coumadin, holding lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide,
adding a sliding scale insulin at mealtimes and bedtime and
decreasing your Lantus to 16 units daily
Please take your other medications as prescribed.
Please followup with Neurology, your cardiologist, 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 Weigh
yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more than 3
lbs.
Sincerely,

Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT head without contrast ___.
FINDINGS:
There is predominantly hypodense mixed-density subdural hematoma along the
bilateral cerebral convexities with associated sulcal effacement, consistent
with acute-on-chronic subdural hematoma, with a more acute component seen
posteriorly bilaterally. Subdural blood measures up to 1.5 cm in the right
and 1.6 cm on the left. There is no appreciable shift of normally midline
structures. Basal cisterns are patent. There is no evidence of
hydrocephalus.
There is no acute large territorial infarction. Focal area of
encephalomalacia in the right occipital lobe is unchanged and consistent with
remote infarct. Mildly prominent ventricles and sulci suggest age-related
involutional changes.
No acute calvarial fracture identified. Mild mucosal thickening of the
ethmoidal air cells. Otherwise, the remaining visualized paranasal sinuses,
mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. Visualized portions of
the orbits are unremarkable.

at your own pace once you are symptom free at rest. ___ try to
do too much all at once.
No driving while taking any narcotic or sedating medication.
If you experienced a seizure while admitted, you are NOT
allowed to drive by law.
No contact sports until cleared by your neurosurgeon. You
should avoid contact sports for 6 months.
Medications
Please do NOT take any blood thinning medication (Aspirin,
Ibuprofen, Plavix, Coumadin) until cleared by the neurosurgeon.
You have been discharged on Keppra (Levetiracetam). This
medication helps to prevent seizures. Please continue this
medication as indicated on your discharge instruction. It is
important that you take this medication consistently and on
time.
You may use Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for minor discomfort if
you are not otherwise restricted from taking this medication.
What You ___ Experience:
You may have difficulty paying attention, concentrating, and
remembering new information.
Emotional and/or behavioral difficulties are common.

swings are also common.
Constipation is common. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and
eat a high-fiber diet. If you are taking narcotics (prescription
pain medications), try an over-the-counter stool softener.
Headaches:
Headache is one of the most common symptom after a brain
bleed.
Most headaches are not dangerous but you should call your
doctor if the headache gets worse, develop arm or leg weakness,
increased sleepiness, and/or have nausea or vomiting with a
headache.
Mild pain medications may be helpful with these headaches but
avoid taking pain medications on a daily basis unless prescribed
by your doctor.
There are other things that can be done to help with your
headaches: avoid caffeine, get enough sleep, daily exercise,
relaxation/ meditation, massage, acupuncture, heat or ice packs.

Chief Complaint:
Fevers; confusion
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ with history of bilateral acute-on-chronic
subdural hematomas in the setting of a fall in ___ status
post right craniotomy in ___ and left craniotomy on ___
who presents with fevers and confusion. On review of the OMR, he
has had 2 recent admissions to the neurosurgical service,
initially from ___ for headache and gait disturbance
attributed to acute-on-chronic subdural hematoma after a fall
with headstrike on ice in ___, requiring right craniotomy for
evacuation of right subdural hemorrhage and subdural drain
placement and subsequent removal; admission was complicated by
new-onset rapid atrial fibrillation responsive to treatment with
nodal agents. Following a brief rehabilitation stay, he was
discharged home, but soon after developed recurrent gait
disturbance and confusion and was readmitted from ___,
during which time he underwent left craniotomy for left subdural
hematoma evacuation on ___. He was evaluated by the
neurology service for ongoing confusion and gait disturbance,
with brain MRI without secondary cause for subdural hematomas
and normal LFTs and TSH. While there was some concern for
transient seizure activity on the part of the neurosurgery
service, prompting phenytoin load and initiation of maintenance
dosing in addition to preexisting levetiracetam prophylaxis,
there was ultimately low suspicion on the part of the neurology
service, hence phenytoin discontinued and EEG deferred. A
neurology note dated as recently as ___ describes ongoing
mild confusion, persistent right parietal drift, and minimal
improvement in gait disturbance, with slow recovery expected. Of
note, urine culture from ___ grew out vancomycin-sensitive
Enterococcus, with no antibiotic treatment listed on review of
inpatient POE.
He was discharged back to rehabilitation on ___, where he
initially was recovering as anticipated. On ___, the day
prior to admission, he reportedly developed fever to 101, with
urinalysis, CXR, and bilateral lower extremity venous
ultrasounds reassuring at that time. Per rehabilitation
documentation and in discussion between the neurosurgery
resident in the ED and his wife and daughter, who could not be
reached by this provider due to the late hour, he developed
fever to 102.5 and worsening confusion with newly recognized
incontinence on the day of admission, remaining otherwise
hemodynamically stable; in fact, he received hydralazine 10mg PO
for systolic blood pressure of 166/90 per rehabilitation
documentation. He also reportedly experienced a fall without
headstrike. Given concern for recurrent subdural bleeding, he
was sent to the ED for further evaluation.
In the ED, initial vital signs were: 99.5 (Tm 102) 80 169/71 16
96% RA. Admission labs were significant for Wbc of 13.6 (81.8%
PMN), Hct of 36.5, normal chemistries, lactate of 1.3, normal
coagulation panel, negative influenza swabs, and urinalysis with
small leukocyte esterase, trace blood, positive nitrite, 45 Wbc,
and many bacteria. Blood and urine cultures were sent.
Noncontrast head CT revealed no significant change since ___
of bilateral acute-on-subacute-on-
chronic subdural hematomas. CXR PA/lateral was negative for
acute cardiopulmonary process. He was evaluated by the
neurosurgery service and felt to have stable right-sided
weakness and worsened confusion in the setting of stable head CT
and positive urinalysis, hence delirium seemingly attributable
to urinary tract infection, with admission to the medical
service advised. He was given acetaminophen 650mg and
ceftriaxone 1g IV. Vital signs prior to transfer were: 98.8 78
113/59 18 99% RA.
On arrival to the floor, he is aware that he is in the hospital,
but believes that he is admitted for his "second head bleed." He
denies subjective fevers, chills, sweats, headache, neck
stiffness, visual changes, URI symptoms, chest pain, cough,
shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loose
stools, or dysuria, but does recall that he has been newly
incontinent of urine with urinary frequency. He is entirely
comfortable.

You were admitted to ___ for
confusion at rehab. On presentation to the ED you were found to
have a urinary tract infection so you were started on
antibiotics. You were also dehydrated, so you were given IV
fluids. Your mental status improved, and you were switched to an
antibiotic called Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) 875mg
twice a day.
During your admission you had right sided facial drooping and
difficulty speaking concerning for a stroke. A CT scan of your
head was done which showed that your subdural hematomas appeared
stable. You were evaluated by neurology who felt that these
findings were likely due to irritation from blood products from
your chronic subdural hematomas, and that they should resolve as
you recover from your recent surgery.
Your leviteracetam dose was increased to 1000 mg twice a day
(down from 1500mg) as advised by Neurology.
Please continue to take Augmentin 875mg twice a day to complete

left lower extremity
veins.
TTE ___: Normal right ventricular cavity size and free wall
motion. Mild pulmonary artery
systolic hypertension. Mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation.
Mild symmetric left ventricular
hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global left
ventricular systolic function. Mild
mitral regurgitation.
CTAP ___:
1. Persistent 3 mm obstructing left UVJ stone with associated
mild left
hydroureteronephrosis. Interval increase in left perinephric
fluid is
nonspecific but may suggest calyceal rupture.

without intravenous contrast. Non-contrast scan has several limitations in
detecting vascular and parenchymal organ abnormalities, including tumor
detection.
Oral contrast was not administered.
Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 3.4 s, 53.7 cm; CTDIvol = 6.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 343.6
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 344 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis ___
FINDINGS:
LOWER CHEST: There is mild bibasilar atelectasis. Severe mitral annular
calcifications are again seen. Trace pericardial fluid is unchanged. There is
no evidence of pleural effusion.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout. There
is hepatic steatosis. There is no evidence of focal lesions. There is no
evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder
contains contrast vicariously excreted from prior examinations, but is
otherwise unremarkable. Fluid previously seen along the anterior and medial
aspect of the liver is not well visualized on this noncontrast study.
PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of
focal lesions within the limitations of an unenhanced scan. There is no
pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic stranding.
SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without
evidence of focal lesions.
ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape.
URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size. Scattered hyperdensity
within the cortex of the interpolar region of the right kidney is likely
contrast from the prior study. There is no evidence of focal renal lesions
within the limitations of an unenhanced scan. Mild left hydronephrosis is less
prominent than prior. There is no nephrolithiasis. Interval increase in small
volume left perinephric fluid may suggest forniceal rupture.
GASTROINTESTINAL: There is a small hiatal hernia. Patient is status post
Billroth 2 procedure. Few locules of air anterior to the liver persist and
likely represent air within jejunal loops in the region of
hepaticojejunostomy. Small bowel loops otherwise demonstrate normal caliber
and wall thickness throughout. The colon and rectum are within normal limits.
The appendix is normal.
PELVIS: The urinary bladder contains contrast from prior studies. The distal
left ureter is mildly dilated. A 3 mm stone is again seen in the left UVJ
(2:156). There is trace free fluid in the pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Patient is status post hysterectomy. No adnexal
abnormality is seen.
LYMPH NODES: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There
is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy.
VASCULAR: A punctate hyperdensity just outside the anterolateral aspect of the
psoas muscle (2:110) is outside the confines of the ureter and likely
represents a phlebolith. There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Mild
atherosclerotic disease is noted.
BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture.
SOFT TISSUES: Postsurgical changes are again seen along the midline anterior
abdominal wall.
IMPRESSION:
1. Persistent 3 mm obstructing left UVJ stone with associated mild left
hydroureteronephrosis. Interval increase in left perinephric fluid is
nonspecific but may suggest forniceal rupture.
2. Retained contrast from prior study within the right kidney is nonspecific,
although a component of pyelonephritis is difficult to exclude.
3. Redemonstration of locules of air anterior to the liver are favored to
represent intraluminal air within jejunal loops in the region of
hepaticojejunostomy rather than sequela of anastomotic dehiscence.
4. Trace pericardial effusion.

After the injection of 5 cc of 1% lidocaine in the subcutaneous soft tissues,
the left renal collecting system was accessed through a posterior lower pole
calyx under ultrasound guidance using a 21 gauge Cook needle. The access
proved difficult due to non-dilated collecting system, however, eventually it
was successful. Ultrasound images of the access were stored on PACS. Prompt
injection of a small amount of contrast outlined a dilated renal collecting
system. Under fluoroscopic guidance, a Headliner wire was advanced into the
renal collecting system. After a skin ___, the needle was exchanged for an
Accustick sheath. Once the tip of the sheath was in the collecting system; the
sheath was advanced over the wire, inner dilator and metallic stiffener. The
wire and inner dilator were then removed and diluted contrast was injected
into the collecting system to confirm position. A ___ wire was advanced
through the sheath into the ureter and into the bladder. The sheath was then
removed and a 8.5 ___ nephroureterostomy tube was advanced into the
bladder. The wire was then removed and the pigtail was formed in the
collecting system. Contrast injection confirmed appropriate positioning. The
catheter was then flushed, 0 silk stay sutures applied and the catheter was
secured with a Stat Lock device and sterile dressings. The catheter was
attached to a bag.

IMAGING/STUDIES
================
___ MRI
1. No acute infarct or intracranial hemorrhage.
2. Numerous late subacute to chronic infarcts, as previously
seen.
3. Chronic microvascular angiopathy changes.
4. Moderate paranasal sinus disease, as above.
___ EEG
IMPRESSION: This is an abnormal continuous ICU EEG monitoring
study because
of diffuse background slowing indicative of mild to moderate
encephalopathy,
nonspecific as to etiology. Common causes include
toxic/metabolic
disturbances, medication effects and/or infection. Frequent
generalized
epileptiform discharges with a frontal predominance are
indicative of diffuse
cortical irritability. There are no electrographic seizures
___ US
No evidence of deep venous thrombosis in the left lower
extremity veins.
___ CXR
Unchanged left pleural effusion with associated atelectasis. No
new focal
consolidations.
___ Lumbar XR
No previous images. The vertebra, intervertebral disc spaces,
and alignment
are essentially within normal limits with minimal hypertrophic
spurring. No evidence of compression fracture.
Extensive vascular calcification.
___ CXR
Interval decrease in extent of pulmonary vascular congestion.
No new
consolidation. Persisting retrocardiac opacities likely
reflecting
atelectasis/consolidation and pleural fluid.
___ RUQUS
No ascites.
Pancreatic cystic lesions as seen previously.
Left pleural effusion.
================
PATHOLOGY
Skin, right thigh ___:
___ Mild dermal sclerosis and fat necrosis (see comment).
Comment. Sections show a small punch biopsy consisting of
epidermis, dermis and minimal
subcutaneous fat. The histologic changes are not well developed
nor are they specifically diagnostic.
There is mild dermal sclerosis, minimal perivascular lymphocytic
inflammation and mild fat necrosis
at the biopsy base. Definitive vascular, perivascular or
perieccrine calcification to support a
diagnosis of calciphylaxis is not identified on ___ stains
(performed x 3). Intravascular thrombi
are not seen on multiple routine stains taken through the entire
tissue block, or on a PAS stain.
Given the possibility that this small and relatively superficial
biopsy is not representative of
immediately adjacent or underlying pathology, if there is
continuing concern for calciphylaxis a
repeat biopsy to include the subcutaneous fat may yield
additional information. Correlation with the
clinical findings is suggested.
Preliminary case findings discussed with Dr. ___
team by Dr. ___ on ___ and
___, respectively.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST ___
INDICATION: Suspected stroke with acute neurological deficit.// Please
exclude ICH, signs of early ischemic stroke, large vessel occlusion, or other
vascular abnormality.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images from skullbase to vertex were obtained
without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations and bone
algorithms reconstructions were also performed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Sequenced Acquisition 16.0 s, 16.2 cm; CTDIvol = 49.5 mGy (Head) DLP =
802.7 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Head CT ___.
___ noncontrast brain MRI/MRA.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of acute territorial infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or
mass effect. The ventricles and sulci are prominent in keeping with
age-related involutional change. Moderate periventricular and subcortical
white matter hypodensities are nonspecific, but likely represent sequela of
chronic ischemic microvascular disease. Re-demonstrated are chronic infarcts
involving the right superior frontal gyrus, right caudate lobe, right
thalamus, right internal capsule, right pons and left cerebellum. Basal
ganglial calcifications are unchanged. Dense atherosclerotic calcifications
in the bilateral intracranial carotid arteries are noted.
No acute fractures are seen. Re-demonstrated is partial opacification of the
bilateral ethmoid air cells, right frontal sinus and left sphenoid sinus.
Mild mucosal thickening is seen in the left maxillary sinus and the right
sphenoid sinus. Otherwise, the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and
middle ear cavities are clear. The orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial abnormality. Please note MRI of the brain is more
sensitive for the detection of acute infarct.
2. Redemonstration of multiple chronic infarcts, global parenchymal volume
loss and sequela of chronic small vessel disease.
3. Grossly stable moderate paranasal sinus disease.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: DX CHEST PORT LINE/TUBE PLCMT 2 EXAMS
INDICATION: History: ___ with intubated// intubated
COMPARISON: Multiple prior chest radiographs dating back to ___, most recently ___.
FINDINGS:
Serial AP portable supine views of the chest provided.
There has been interval placement of an endotracheal tube with tip projecting
approximately 2.4 cm above the level of the carina. A nasogastric tube
courses below the level of diaphragm and continues out of view the current
study. Surgical clips project over the right upper quadrant, likely related
to prior cholecystectomy.
Lung volumes are again slightly low bilaterally. There is no focal
consolidation, effusion, or pneumothorax. The cardiomediastinal silhouette
appears borderline in size, although this is likely exaggerated by low lung
volumes and the AP technique. No acute osseous abnormalities are detected.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval placement of an endotracheal tube with tip projecting
approximately 2.4 cm above the level of the carina.
2. A nasogastric tube appears to be in appropriate position.

obtained.
COMPARISON CT head without contrast ___
MRI head without contrast ___.
FINDINGS:
Multiple hyperintensities are seen on diffusion-weighted imaging without
hypointense signal on the ADC map. These were seen on the prior MRI and
likely represent late subacute infarcts. No new infarcts are seen.
Old infarcts are seen in the left cerebellum, left brachium pontis, right
pons, right corona radiata, right frontal lobe and right parasagittal parietal
lobe, at the vertex.
Punctate microhemorrhages are re-demonstrated in the pons, unchanged.
The ventricles and sulci are prominent, consistent with global cerebral volume
loss. Confluent periventricular T2 hyperintensities are most consistent with
chronic microvascular angiopathy. There is moderate mucosal thickening of the
frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. The mastoid air cells are clear. The
intraorbital contents are normal. The flow voids are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute infarct or intracranial hemorrhage.
2. Numerous late subacute to chronic infarcts, as previously seen.
3. Chronic microvascular angiopathy changes.
4. Moderate paranasal sinus disease, as above.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
You were seen in the hospital for bloody diarrhea. A CAT scan
shoed you had inflammation (colitis) in the right side of your
colon. This is likely caused by an infection. We sent labs to
check for infectious sources, but the results have not come back
yet.
Your blood counts were stable, so we do not think you were
losing an unsafe amount of blood. We recommend that you take two
antibiotics (ciprofloxacin and Flagyl) for 5 days total to treat
this possible infection. These antibiotics will also treat UTIs.
It is very important to cut down on alcohol use, as we could
tell by your physical exam and labs that alcohol has been
damaging your liver. It is especially important not to use
alcohol while taking Flagyl. Please talk to your primary care
doctor about this issue. We started you on a multivitamin,
folate, and thiamine.
Come back to the hospital if your diarrhea gets worse, if it
becomes very bloody again, if you abdominal pain worsens, or if
you develop a fever.
It was a privilege to care for you in the hospital, and we wish
you all the best.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
You were hospitalized due to symptoms of difficulty speaking
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:
high cholesterol
We are changing your medications as follows:
START: ATORVASTATIN 40MG
STOP: SIMVASTATIN
START: ASPIRIN 81 MG, CLOPIDOGREL 75MG EVERY DAY FOR 3 MONTHS
THEN STOP TAKING CLOPIDOGREL AND TAKE ASPIRIN 81MG ALONE.
Please call ___ to get a ZIO PATCH to monitor your heart
for arrythmias. Heart arrythmias can increase your risk of
future stroke and we would like to continue to monitor your
heart at home to determine if you are at risk for arrythmias. We
did not detect an arrythmia while you were in the hospital.
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 ___ 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

* Your injury caused 4th 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

HISTORY: ___ female with tachycardia and crackles. Question
pneumonia.
COMPARISON: Chest x-ray from ___ as well as chest CT from that day
and chest x-ray from ___.
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest. The lungs are
hyperinflated. Focal opacity at the right cardiophrenic angle is compatible
with fat pad identified on prior CT. More vertically oriented opacities seen
laterally in the right lung may be due to atelectasis. There is no focal
consolidation worrisome for infection. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is within
normal limits. Atherosclerotic calcifications identified at the aortic arch.
No acute osseous abnormality is identified.
IMPRESSION: Hyperinflation without superimposed acute consolidation.

level of pain: 10
level of acuity: 1.0 | You were admitted to the hospital because you had a fast heart
rate and fatigue. Your fast heart rate was controlled with a
medication call metoprolol, which you should continue to take to
prevent your heart from beating uncomfortably fast. You were
also fatigued, and this is likely due to your myelofibrosis, a
condition of your bone marrow that prevents that production of
red blood cells needed by your body to carry oxygen. There is no
cure for this disorder, and your blood levels are not responding
steadily despite blood transfusions. You have an enlarged
spleen, which is likely "holding" these red blood cells and
additional blood transfusions would likely only keep enlarging
your spleen. After several discussions, you and your family have
chosen to focus your care on maintaining your comfort. In this
light, we have provided you with your prior pain and anxiety
medications, to be administered by your daughter, until your
palliative care services begin next week. |

subtalar joint level (502B:54).
The peroneus longus and brevis tendons are seen laterally adjacent to fracture
line through the body of the lateral aspect of the calcaneus (501B:55) but do
not appear entrapped. The medial flexor tendons do not appear entrapped by
fracture fragments.
The partly seen anterior tibialis and extensor tendons are grossly intact.
Mild enthesopathy at the dorsal aspect of the calcaneus at Achilles tendon
attachment, with otherwise normal-appearing Achilles tendon. The plantar
fascia remains attached to the plantar base of the calcaneus (502B:72).
No other acute fractures are identified. The Lisfranc interval is maintained.
There is moderate subcutaneous soft tissue stranding in the lateral aspect of
the foot and ankle extending into the lateral plantar aspect of the foot
posteriorly.
The talar dome is intact.

EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP)
INDICATION: ___ year old man with stroke, stage 4 lung cancer // eval for pna
COMPARISON: ___
IMPRESSION:
As compared to the previous radiograph, the lung volumes have decreased.
Moderate cardiomegaly. Fibrotic changes along the right chest wall as well as
at the left lung bases are unchanged. No new focal parenchymal opacities.
Known an unchanged right apical pleural thickening. Moderate cardiomegaly and
elongation of the descending aorta persist.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old man with metastatic lung cancer, atrial fibrillation,
presents with right MCA stroke. Evaluate for evolution of stroke.
TECHNIQUE: Noncontrast head CT with sagittal and coronal reformatted images.
DLP 892 mGy cm.
COMPARISON: Noncontrast head CT from ___ dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Compared to slightly less than 24 hr earlier, there is increased loss of gray/
white matter differentiation in the right insula and right frontal operculum,
consistent with an evolving infarction in the right middle cerebral artery
territory. There is no significant mass effect and no acute hemorrhage.
Bilateral middle cerebral arteries appear slightly dense, which may relate to
atherosclerosis and/or high hematocrit. Sylvian branches of the right middle
cerebral artery appear more prominent on the left, similar to the preceding
CT.
Small foci of low density in bilateral lentiform nuclei and internal capsules
are not significantly changed, likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic
disease. Areas of low density in the periventricular white matter of the
cerebral hemispheres, corona radiata, and centrum semiovale are also not
significantly changed and likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic
disease. The ventricles and sulci are mildly prominent due to age-related
cerebral atrophy, as before.
The bones are unremarkable. The imaged paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells
are well aerated. There is a punctate metallic foreign body in the soft
tissues overlying the base of the nasal bridge.
IMPRESSION:
Evolving acute infarction in the right insula and right frontal operculum, in
the right middle cerebral artery territory, without significant mass effect.
No acute hemorrhage. MRI could better assess the full extent of infarction,
if clinically warranted.

energy since starting your chemotherapy. While you were here you
were seen by the nutritionist with recommendations to start a
multivitamin with minerals and to drink three to four Ensure
Pluses a day. We encourage you to keep eating and drinking as
much as you can. You were also seen by the physical therapists
who think that you are safe for discharge home with home
physical therapy. You will need to get fluids every other day
until instructed otherwise by your outpatient oncologist. Thank

FINDINGS:
There is severe multilevel degenerative changes. There is minimal
anterolisthesis of C3 on C4. Alignment is otherwise maintained. The bones
are diffusely demineralized suggesting osteoporosis. There is no fracture.
At C2-3, intervertebral osteophytes mildly narrow the spinal canal without
contacting the spinal cord. The neural foramina appear normal.
At C3-4, intervertebral osteophytes mildly narrow the spinal canal.
Uncovertebral and facet osteophytes produce severe left neural foraminal
narrowing.
At C4-5, intervertebral osteophytes mildly narrow the spinal canal and
slightly flatten the anterior surface of the spinal cord. Uncovertebral and
facet osteophytes produce moderate left and mild right neural foraminal
narrowing.
At C5-6, intervertebral osteophytes flatten the spinal cord, particularly on
the left. Uncovertebral and facet osteophytes produce severe left neural
foraminal narrowing.
At C6-7, intervertebral osteophytes narrow the spinal canal and flatten the
anterior surface of the spinal cord. Uncovertebral osteophytes produce
moderate right neural foraminal narrowing.
At C7-T1, intervertebral osteophytes mildly encroach on the spinal canal. The
neural foramina appear normal.
Views of the upper thoracic spine demonstrate mild degenerative changes but no
evidence of canal or foraminal encroachment.
There is no prevertebral soft tissue abnormality. Biapical scarring is noted.
Endotracheal and orogastric tubes are partially imaged. There is a 9 mm right
thyroid hypodense nodule. ___ College of Radiology guidelines for
incidental thyroid nodules do not recommend further evaluation for lesions of
this size in patients of this age.

level of pain: 0
level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
It was a pleasure taking care of you at the ___
___.
You were admitted because you had a heart attack. You underwent
cardiac catheterization which revealed significant disease (i.e.
narrowing) of a major heart blood vessel. This was re-opened
with a "balloon angioplasty." You also underwent placement of a
pacemaker which helps your heart beat. Please follow up at your
Cardiologist's office for further recommendations regarding your
heart.
It is very important to take all of your heart healthy
medications.
You are on aspirin. You need to take aspirin everyday. If you
stop taking aspirin, you risk clotting and death. Do not stop
taking aspirin unless you are told by your cardiologist. No
other doctor can tell you to stop taking this medication.
You are on Plavix (also known as clopidogrel). This medication
helps keep your blood vessels open. Do not stop taking plavix
unless you are told by your cardiologist. No other doctor can
tell you to stop taking this medication.
While you were here, you were also noted to have a urinary tract
infection. You were started on an antibiotic which you should
continue to take until they run out. Please notify your doctor
if you have any burning or pain upon urination.
We wish you all the best,
Your ___ Cardiology team |

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD
INDICATION: History: ___ with fall, headstrike, LOC, vomiting// r/o fracture,
bleed
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without
contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations as well as bone algorithm
reconstructions were provided and reviewed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Sequenced Acquisition 16.0 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 50.1 mGy (Head) DLP =
802.7 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There is a small focus of hyperdensity in the left temporal region, measuring
8 x 7 x 10 mm which may be intraparenchymal or in the adjacent subarachnoid
space (2:12, 601:57). Alternatively, it is possible this could represent a
meningioma, given lack of priors for comparison. There is no surrounding
edema or significant mass effect. No midline shift. There is prominence of
the ventricles and sulci suggestive of involutional changes. Subcortical and
periventricular white matter hypodensities are nonspecific, however likely
represent sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. There are
atherosclerotic calcifications in the bilateral cavernous carotids.
There is no evidence of acute fracture. There is mild mucosal thickening in
the ethmoid air cells. The visualized portion of the remainder of the
paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The
visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.

History of Present Illness:
___ is a ___ woman, with history of
breast cancer, s/p partial mastectomy in ___, hypertension and
hypothyroidism, prior convulsive seizure and newly diagnosed
multifocal glioblastoma, who presents with 1 week history of
progressive confusion. History provided by patient's husband as
patient cannot provide history.
Patient was seen by her neuro-oncologist Dr ___ for
progressive confusion. Please see his note detailed ___ for
most detailed history. To summarize briefly, she began acting
off
from her baseline about 1 week ago, when she had poor PO intake.
5 days ago, on ___, she was found walking aimlessly in the
lobby of the hospital, prior to a scheduled appointment for lab
draw. She had a syncopal episode. Per report a bystander caught
her before she fell. She had no head strike. VSS per report. She
declined going to the ED. She received IV fluids and completed
the last fraction of her radiation therapy. Since returning home
she spent the majority of the weekend lying in bled. She
appeared
abulic and disengaged. Her husband noted that she slept in the
bathtub a few times and continued with poor PO intake.
Since seeing Dr. ___, she spent most of the night in
bed. Her husband went to sleep in evening. The last thing he
noticed was that she was sitting on the dining room table,
writing down information about her bills. When he woke up to go
to the bathroom a few hours later, he noted that she was staring
'blankly' at the checks. Her husband asked her to acknowledge
him
and say her name, but she had no verbal output. He tried several
times without success. She was able to make some eye contact
with
him initially but was 'staring blankly through him.' He noticed
that her eyes appeared deviated downward. She did not have any
shaking movements, twitching, automatisms, LOC or bowel/bladder
incontinence. He tried to help her to the bed but had difficulty
as she was not moving voluntarily. He was concerned that she was
having complex partial seizures as she had somewhat similar
behavior on ___ prior to her convulsion. As a result he
called ___ and transferred her here to ___ for further
evaluation.
She continues to receive radiation, last received full regimen 5
days ago, and is maintained on dexamethasone. For full details
of
her neuro-oncologic history, please see summary below per Dr
___ ___ note:
"Treatment History:
(1) convulsive seizure on ___ with post ictal left gaze
preference,
(2) non-contrast head CT on ___ shows two brain masses,
(3) hospitalized at ___ from ___ to ___, and
(4) gadolinium-enhanced head MRI from ___ at ___ showed
two enhancing nodules in right and left frontal brain,
(5) neurosurgical resection of the right frontal tumor by Dr.
___ on ___ and the pathology showed
glioblastoma, IDH-1 wild-type and GOPC-ROS1 rearrangement,
(6) started involved-field cranial irradiation and daily
temozolomide on ___,
(7) stopped dexamethasone on ___,
(8) serum creatinine went up to 1.6 on ___, and
(9) serum creatinine at 1.3 on ___.
Her oncologic problem began in ___ when she was diagnosed with
breast cancer and underwent partial mastectomy in ___. Biopsy
showed infiltrating ductal carcinoma 1.2 cm grade 2 with
lymphatic vessel invasion positive, lymph node-negative, ER/PR
positive. DCIS absent. She was subsequently treated with
Cytoxan and Adriamycin ×4 and then received whole breast
radiation therapy. She then took ___ years of hormonal therapy-
letrozole which ended in ___. In ___, there was a
firm area over her left breast which was biopsied and showed fat
necrosis and inflammation. She has been seen yearly for
surveillance without any evidence of recurrence.
Her neurologic problem began on ___ when she was
vacationing
in ___. She had a remote in her hand and was
watching football at night at about 10:50 p.m., which she
normally would never watch. At 11:00 p.m., the patient and her
husband usually switch to the news and when he asked her if she
wanted to do so she did not respond to him and did not change
her
position. Even when he stood in front of her she would not
focus
on him or respond to his questions. He also noticed that both
of
her hands appear to be trembling/shaking in a nonrhythmic
fashion. He then called ___ and she was taken to ___. According to the patient, she was never
unresponsive, she never remembered the events in the evening,
and
instead she reported that she was watching the news
at 11:00 p.m. Her husband wanted to see the end of the game and
asked her to change channels but she told him she wanted to go
to
bed because she was tired. He thought she "did not look good"
and
therefore called ___.
At the hospital in ___, she was initially confused
with head and eyes deviated to the left when not being asked to
look to the right, not following commands well with waxing and
waning periods of lucidity during which she was able to answer
questions, unable to respond appropriately to sensory exam
with a fine tremor. Later in the evening, she experienced a
generalized convulsive seizure for which 2 mg of Ativan was
given. After this, she was notably somnolent but arousable and
appeared encephalopathic, at times mumbling incoherently. Urine
was reportedly suggestive of UTI with nitrite positive, ___
WBCs,
bacteria 3+ but may have been contaminated. Lyme antibody
IgG/IgM negative, TSH 4.38, WBC 12.9, BMP with only mild
irregularities-NA 133, BUN 24, creatinine 0.95 and K 3.2.
Noncontrast head CT showed possible irregularity/hypodensity in
the right frontal lobe. At 02:00 a.m., CTA with delayed imaging
showed enhancing lesions in the right frontal and left frontal
lobes with no signs of shift or herniation. She received a
loading dose of phenytoin 50 mg/kg and transferred to ___,
where her mental status slowly recovered to baseline and was
discharged home on ___. She then underwent neurosurgical
resection of the right frontal tumor by Dr. ___ on
___ and the pathology showed glioblastoma, IDH-1 wild-type
and GOPC-ROS1 rearrangement."
I would like to highlight that patient's husband felt that this
event was similar to her initial symptoms in ___
on
___ (watching the football game blankly), though she did not
have any shaking movements this time (unlike the previous
___
event).
On presentation to ___ ED she received 1mg Ativan due to
?seizure without significant improvement. She has been quite
somnolent since arrival, arousing to voice and following simple
commands but unable to provide history.
Past Medical History:
BREAST CANCER, diagnosed in ___ positive, HER-2

1. Interval worsening of the bifrontal mass, possibly becoming
necrotic on the left, with increased edema and effacement of the
frontal horns of the bilateral lateral ventricles.
2. No definite cranial hemorrhage is identified.
MRI w and wo contrast ___:
Increased FLAIR signal abnormality surrounding the bifrontal
lesions crosses the corpus callosum, extending into the left
basal ganglia, insula, and internal capsule, and causes mass
effect with partial effacement of the left greater than right
anterior horns of the lateral ventricles.
EEG ___:
FINDINGS:
CONTINUOUS EEG: From the beginning of the recording, there were
very prominent focal high-voltage spike or sharp and slow wave
discharges in the right anterior quadrant, maximal at F4 and at
an 8. They recurred throughout the record, often in a very
periodic fashion every 1.0 to 1.5 seconds. There are also brief
bursts of the same discharges with a frequency of up to 2 Hz for
a few seconds at a time. There was also some posterior ___ Hz
rhythm bilaterally. The faster rhythmic discharges often
occurred in runs of ___ seconds. There was one longer, definite
electrographic seizure at ___ it started with a
high voltage sharp and slow wave at 1 Hz and subsequently
increased to rhythmic 2 Hz sharp and slow wave activity until it
ended with 1-second focal background attenuation. On video,
there was no clinical correlate.
SLEEP: no normal waking or sleep patterns were recorded.
PUSHBUTTON ACTIVATIONS: There was none.
SPIKE DETECTION PROGRAMS: showed the same spike and sharp wave
discharges
described above.
SEIZURE DETECTION PROGRAMS: showed many of the rhythmic sharp
waves described earlier, along with the one electrographic
seizure, as described above.
CARDIAC MONITOR: Showed a generally regular rhythm with a rate
between 50 and 60 bmp.
IMPRESSION: This telemetry captured no pushbutton activations.
It continued to show persistent very frequent and often periodic
high-voltage spike and sharp wave ___ Hz discharges in the
right anterior quadrant and occasionally faster runs for up to
10 seconds, as described above. The background was slow and
disorganized indicating a widespread encephalopathy. Compared to
the prior's day recording, there was continued LPDs and one
electrographic seizure.
EEG ___:
FINDINGS:
CONTINUOUS EEG: From the beginning of the recording, the
background was
disorganized and slow. It was composed of low voltage ___ Hz
theta rhythm with some admixed polymorphic delta rhythm,
although it did reach up to 8 Hz alpha briefly during
wakefulness. There was continuous right frontocentral and
frontotemporal high voltage sharp, spike and polypsike-and- slow
wave discharges with a broad field extending to the parasaggital
and left frontal regions, with sharp waves generally at about 1
Hz. They became of slightly lower voltage and slower at about
0.8 Hz by midnight to the end of the recording. There were
occasional brief bursts when the sharp waves increased in
frequency to about 2 Hz, but just for a few seconds at a time.
SLEEP: no normal waking or sleep patterns were recorded.
PUSHBUTTON ACTIVATIONS: There was none.
SPIKE DETECTION PROGRAMS: showed the same spike and sharp wave
discharges
described above.
SEIZURE DETECTION PROGRAMS: showed no clear electrographic
seizures.
CARDIAC MONITOR: Showed a generally regular rhythm with a rate
between 60 and 70 bpm.
IMPRESSION: abnormal continuous EEG monitoring session due to
the continuous lateralized periodic epileptiform discharges,
mostly recurring at about ___ Hz, but slower later in the
record. The background was slow and disorganized, usually in the
theta range. Discharges were persistent, but no clear
electrographic seizures were evident. There were no pushbutton
activations.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD
INDICATION: History: ___ with metastatic ca, seizure// ich?
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without
contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations as well as bone algorithm
reconstructions were provided and reviewed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Sequenced Acquisition 6.4 s, 16.7 cm; CTDIvol = 48.1 mGy (Head) DLP =
802.7 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT head dated ___. MR head dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Patient is status post right frontal craniotomy for resection of a right
frontal lobe mass. There are associated postoperative changes in the surgical
bed. 2.9 x 2.1 cm lesion the median right frontal lobe has increased in size.
The previously seen left median frontal lobe lesion appears more hypodense,
possibly becoming necrotic. When compared to prior head CT and MR, there has
been increase edema in the bilateral frontal lobes and effacement of the
frontal horns of the bilateral lateral ventricles.. No definite intracranial
hemorrhage is identified. There is no evidence of large territorial
infarction or additional mass.
There is no evidence of fracture. The visualized portion of the paranasal
sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The visualized
portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval worsening of the bifrontal mass, possibly becoming necrotic on the
left, with increased edema and effacement of the frontal horns of the
bilateral lateral ventricles.
2. No definite cranial hemorrhage is identified.

INDICATION: History: ___ with AMS// ?PNA ?infection
TECHNIQUE: Portable AP chest radiograph.
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph dated ___ and ___.
FINDINGS:
No focal consolidation to suggest pneumonia. No pulmonary edema. No pleural
effusion or pneumothorax. Mild atelectatic changes in the retrocardiac
region. Moderate cardiomegaly and mediastinal silhouette are grossly
unchanged accounting for technique differences. No acute osseous
abnormalities.
IMPRESSION:

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with known GBM and bifrontal masses, presenting
with progressive confusion and ?seizure, found to have interval worsening and
necrosis on CT.// eval for worsening mass vs post radiation changes
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration 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 ___.
MR head ___.
FINDINGS:
Study is moderately degraded by motion. Within these confines:
The patient is status post right frontal craniotomy and tumor resection, with
postsurgical changes again noted. However, irregular and thick enhancement
seen within the resection cavity has significantly increased from prior
examination, with increased surrounding T2/FLAIR signal abnormality,
compatible with tumor recurrence and progression.
Additionally, the previously noted irregularly enhancing masses seen along the
right anterior cingulate gyrus and left anterior gyrus rectus have both
substantially increased. On the right, the enhancing component measures 2.4 x
1.7 cm, previously 1.4 x 1.0. On the left, the enhancing component measures
3.0 x 2.4 cm, previously 1.8 x 1.3 cm.
Central areas of hypoenhancement and T2 hyperintensity within the left frontal
lobe mass may represent areas of necrosis. Subtle areas of low signal on GRE
sequences within the right frontal lobe mass may reflect internal
microhemorrhage. Allowing for this, there is otherwise no evidence for acute
intracranial hemorrhage or infarction.
The extent of perianal lesional T2/FLAIR signal abnormality has increased, now
spanning the genu of the corpus callosum. Increased mass effect is seen
bifrontally, with effacement of the sulci and partial effacement of the left
greater than right anterior horns of the lateral ventricles. The remainder of
the ventricular system appears intact.
There is additional extension of FLAIR signal abnormality into the left
insula, left caudate head, and the anterior limb of the left internal capsule.
The dural venous sinuses remain patent. The remainder of the ventricular
system and sulci are mildly prominent compatible with mild background
parenchymal volume loss. The primary intravascular flow voids are grossly
preserved.
There is mucosal thickening seen in scattered ethmoid air cells. The middle
ear cavities, and mastoid air cells are well aerated and clear. The orbits
are within normal limits bilaterally.
IMPRESSION:
1. Study is moderately degraded by motion.
2. Significant interval progression involving bifrontal lobe heterogeneously
enhancing masses with surrounding T2/FLAIR abnormality that crosses the corpus
callosum. Differential considerations include tumor progression, radiation
necrosis, and treatment related effects.
3. Status post right frontal approach craniotomy and tumor resection, with
increased enhancing soft tissue seen surrounding the resection cavity,
concerning for local disease progression.
4. Increased FLAIR signal abnormality surrounding the bifrontal lesions
crosses the corpus callosum, extending into the left basal ganglia, insula,
and internal capsule, and causes mass effect with partial effacement of the
left greater than right anterior horns of the lateral ventricles.
5. Additional imaging findings, as above, suggest areas of central necrosis
predominantly within the left frontal lobe lesion, and areas of possible
internal microhemorrhage within the right frontal lobe lesion.
6. No definite evidence for additional sites of intracranial hemorrhage or
acute infarction.

COMPARISON: None
TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ Radiologist performed the
procedure.
ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of
fentanyl and midazolam while the patient's hemodynamic parameters were
continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. Doses were
not recorded. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues
overlying the access site.
MEDICATIONS:
CONTRAST:
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 0.4 min, 2 mGy
PROCEDURE
1. Right internal jugular approach chest single lumen Port-a-cath placement
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed
supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___
protocol. The upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right internal jugular vein
was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent
ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which
confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right
atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a
micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a short ___ wire was
advanced to make appropriate measurements for catheter length. The ___ wire
was then passed distally into the IVC.
Next, attention was turned towards creation of a subcutaneous pocket over the
upper anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local
anesthesia using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a 2.5 cm transverse
incision was made and a subcutaneous pocket was created by using blunt
dissection. The single lumen port was then connected to the catheter. The
catheter was tunneled from the subcutaneous pocket towards the venotomy site
from where it was brought out using a tunneling device. The port was then
connected to the catheter and checks were made for any leakage by accessing
the diaphragm using a non-coring ___ needle. No leaks were found.
The port was then placed in the subcutaneous pocket and secured with ___
prolene sutures on either side. The venotomy tract was dilated using the
introducer of the peel-away sheath supplied. Following this, the peel-away
sheath was placed over the ___ wire through which the port was threaded into
the right side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium. The sheath was
then peeled away.
The subcutaneous pocket was closed in layers with ___ interrupted and ___
subcuticular continuous non-absorbable Prolene sutures. Steri-strips were
used to close the venotomy incision site. Steri-Strips were applied over the
sutures. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrating good alignment of the
catheter and no kinking. The tip is in the right atrium.
The port was accessed using a non coring ___ needle and could be aspirated
and flushed easily. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the
procedure well without immediate complication. The port was left accessed as
requested.
FINDINGS:
Patent right internal jugular vein. Final fluoroscopic image showing port with
catheter tip terminating in the right atrium.
IMPRESSION:
Successful placement of a single lumen chest power Port-a-cath via the right
internal jugular venous approach. The tip of the catheter terminates in the
right atrium. The catheter is ready for use.

___
Radiology Report
INDICATION: History of epidural abscess status post drainage, increasing
white count, refusing MRI, evaluate for epidural abscess.
COMPARISON: MR ___ and Lumbar spine on ___.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were obtained through the cervical, thoracic, and
lumbar spine following administration of IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal
reformations were performed.
FINDINGS: The patient is status post laminectomy from C2 to C7. Evaluation
for epidural abscess is very limited by CT but no gross displacement of the
spinal cord is identified. There is a 3.9 x 2.9 cm fluid collection within
the posterior neck, posterior to C7 with mild rim enhancement and surrounding
stranding. More superiorly at the level of C2, there is a posterior fluid
collection measuring about 2.0 x 0.9 cm with mild rim enhancement.
There are moderate multilevel degenerative changes of the cervical, thoracic,
and lumbar spine with anterior and posterior bridging osteophytes. No acute
fractures or malalignment are identified. There are moderate to large disc
osteophyte complexes at L2-3 and L3-4 causing moderate to severe spinal canal
narrowing. Mild disc osteophyte complex at L4-5 indents the thecal sac.
Limited evaluation of the lungs is grossly clear. Left PICC tip is seen at the
junction of the SVC and right atrium. There is moderate cardiomegaly, as well
as aortic valvular and coronary artery calcifications. No pleural effusion.
Assessment of the lungs is limited due to respiratory motion. Mild dependent
atelectasis is noted. The liver is grossly unremarkable. The gallbladder is
normal. The spleen contains a non-displaced 2.6 cm hypodense lesion. The
left adrenal gland is mildly thickened and enlarged, possibly hyperplasia.
The right adrenal gland appears normal. Kidneys are grossly unremarkable.
There is no hydronephrosis. The aorta is normal in caliber. There are
atherosclerotic calcifications. The stomach and visualized small bowel are
unremarkable. There is sigmoid diverticulosis with no evidence of
diverticulitis. Foley catheter is seen in the bladder. No free air is
identified. Presacral stranding is nonspecific.
IMPRESSION:
1. Two fluid collections posterior to cervical spine as described above with
mild rim enhancement and surrounding stranding. These may represent
postoperative seromas; however, infection cannot be ruled out.
2. This study is not ___ for evaluation for epidural abscess but there is
no evidence of gross spinal cord displacement. MRI is suggested for further
assessment.
3. Moderate to severe canal narrowing at L2/3 and L3/4, similar to prior MRI
lumbar spine.
4. Probable left adrenal hyperplasia.
5. Hypodense splenic lesion of uncertain etiology; MRI can be done for
further evaluation.
6. Presacral stranding, which is nonspecific.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: PICC placement.
FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, the left subclavian PICC line
again extends to the upper portion of the right atrium. No evidence of acute
cardiopulmonary disease.
Radiology Report
STUDY: Left ___.
CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ man with recent cervical epidural abscess and
bacteremia. Now with polyarthralgias.
FINDINGS: No previous studies available for direct comparison.
Joint spaces are relatively preserved. There are no signs for acute fractures
or dislocations. There is some spurring involving the tibial plateau medially
and laterally. There is a moderate knee joint effusion. Spurs about the
patellofemoral compartment is also seen on the lateral view. There are
vascular calcifications.
IMPRESSION:
Tricompartmental osteoarthritis, which is mild-to-moderate with moderate-size
knee joint effusion.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
It was a pleasure caring for you during your hospitalization.
You were admitted on ___ due to concern over joint pain and
swelling of your knee. You underwent an extensive evaluation
including physical exams, blood tests, imaging tests, and joint
fluid removals.
Based on these studies, the most likely cause of your joint
pains is a gout flare. You were therefore started on medications
to help control your pain and help prevent future attacks
(indomethacin and colchicine).
However, some of the joint fluid did grow a very small amount of
bacteria - for this reason, it is very important that you
follow-up with the Infectious Disease and the Rheumatology
doctors to monitor your knee. It is possible this bacteria was
not actually in the joint fluid and simply a contaminant, but we
cannot be sure without close monitoring.
Please be sure to take all of your medications and follow-up at
the appointments listed below. |

Peripheral Angiography
Puncture Site Care
For one week:
Do not take a tub bath, go swimming or use a Jacuzzi or hot
tub.
Use only mild soap and water to gently clean the area around
the puncture site.
Gently pat the puncture site dry after showering.
Do not use powders, lotions, or ointments in the area of the
puncture site.
You may remove the bandage and shower the day after the
procedure. You may leave the bandage off.
You may have a small bruise around the puncture site. This is
normal and will go away one-two weeks.
Activity
For the first 48 hours:
Do not drive for 48 hours after the procedure
For the first week:
Do not lift, push , pull or carry anything heavier than 10

your breath or bear down with abdominal muscles. Take care not
to put strain on your abdominal muscles when coughing, sneezing,
or moving your bowels.
After one week:
You may go back to all your regular activities, including
sexual activity. We suggest you begin your exercise program at
half of your usual routine for the first few days. You may
then gradually work back to your full routine.

OTHER STUDIES AND IMAGING
==========================
___ EEG
History: ___ year old right-handed man with diabetes, seizure
disorder (with h/o non-epileptic events and postictal psychosis)
and cognitive delay who was brought to the ED after bystanders
found him confused. Assess for evidence of nonconvulsive
seizures.
MEDICATIONS: Carbamazepine, Valproic acid
Continuous 23 electrode EEG ___ electrode placement, T1, T2)
and additional EOG and EKG, are recorded 11:50 on ___ until
07:00 on ___. There was no video recording as the patient
refused this.
CONTINUOUS EEG: The background activity shows a symmetric,
well-regulated 10 Hz posterior dominant rhythm which attenuates
with eye opening. There is occasional admixed theta activity
throughout, likely indicative of excessive drowsiness. There are
2 sharp and slow-wave discharges in the left temporal region
(F7/T3) captured over the course of the recording.
SLEEP: The patient progresses from wakefulness to stage 2, then
slow wave and REM sleep at appropriate times with no additional
findings.
PUSHBUTTON ACTIVATIONS: There are three pushbutton activations
at 23:22:26, 06:39:06, and 06:41:05, for unclear reasons
(patient refused video EEG monitoring). The background at the
time is unchanged, or shows electrode artifact. There are no
epileptiform discharges or electrographic seizures.
SPIKE DETECTION PROGRAMS: There are several automated spike
detections,
predominantly for sharp features of the background as well as
one of the left
temporal discharges described above. There are no epileptiform
discharges.
SEIZURE DETECTION PROGRAMS: There are several automated seizure
detections, predominantly for what appear to be electrode and
muscle artifact (no video available for collateral). There are
no electrographic seizures.
QUANTITATIVE EEG: Trend analysis is performed with Persyst Magic
Marker
software. Panels include automated seizure detection, rhythmic
run detection and display, color spectral density array,
absolute and relative asymmetry indices, asymmetry spectrogram,
amplitude integrated EEG, burst suppression ratio, envelope
trend, and alpha delta ratios. Segments showing abnormal trends
are reviewed, and show findings congruent with the above.
CARDIAC MONITOR: Shows a generally regular rhythm with an
average rate of
70-90 bpm. IMPRESSION: This is a mildly abnormal continuous EEG
monitoring study due to the presence of 2 left temporal sharp
and slow-wave discharges, indicative of a potentially
epileptogenic focus in the left temporal region. There are three
pushbutton activations for unclear reasons, as the patient
refuses video monitoring, but a normal background rhythm during
the events. There are no epileptiform discharges or
electrographic seizures.
___ CT Head:
There is no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or mass.
The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration.
There is no evidence of fracture. The visualized portion of the
paranasal
sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear.
The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
___ EKG Sinus rhythm. Normal ECG. Compared to the previous
tracing of ___ there is no significant change.
___ EEG: This is a mildly abnormal continuous EEG monitoring
study due to the presence of a single left temporal sharp and
slow-wave discharge,
indicative of a potentially epileptogenic focus in the left
temporal region. There are no electrographic seizures. Compared
to the prior day's recording, there is a single left temporal
sharp wave.
___ Ankle Xray: There is mild swelling about the ankle, but no
underlying fracture is identified. The ankle mortise is intact.
There are no lesions suspicious for malignancy or infection

IMAGING:
___ ELBOW X-RAY, WRIST:
IMPRESSION:
1. Possible fracture at the base of the fifth metacarpal bone.
If clinically indicated, dedicated hand radiographs, including
an oblique view of the hand, could help for further assessment.
Otherwise, no fracture detected about the wrist.
2. Evidence of advanced SLAC (scapholunate advanced collapse)
wrist, together with chondrocalcinosis. This could represent
advanced stages of CPPD arthropathy.
3. Erosion and adjoining soft tissue calcifications along the
scaphoid -- ? due to mechanical changes, gout, or possibly due
to abnormality of the radial artery.
___ PELVIS X-RAY:
No lucent or sclerotic fracture line or displaced fracture
fragment is detected. No SI joint or pubic symphysis diastasis.
The sacrum is partially obscured by bowel gas, but visualized
sacral struts are grossly unremarkable. There are mild right
greater than left hip degenerative changes.
No displaced proximal femur fracture is detected on these views.
If there is clinical concern for a proximal femur fracture,
then dedicated views of the hip joint/proximal femur would be
recommended.
___ CT SINUS/MAXILLA:
IMPRESSION:
Likely minimally displaced fracture of the right nasal bone.
Left periorbital swelling/hematoma.
NOTE ADDED IN ATTENDING REVIEW:
1. There are likely acute comminuted right and non-displaced
left nasal bone fractures, with bony nasal septum intact and no
other facial fracture.
2. There is a fluid-filled socket involving the extracted
maxillary right ___ molar, ___ #3 (2:80), which may relate to
the chronic inflammatory disease along this maxillary antral
floor.
3. There is a 3.5mm sialolith in the right submandibular gland
(2:121), without other evidence of sialadenitis; correlate
clinically.
4. There is mucosal thickening involving the OMCs, left more
than right, though they remain patent.
___ CT HEAD:
There is no evidence of acute hemorrhage, edema, mass, mass
effect, or acute territorial infarction. There is mild
periventricular white matter hypodensity, likely the sequelae
of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. The ventricles and
sulci are prominent consistent with age-related atrophy, with
asymmetric prominence of all components of the left lateral
ventricle, unchanged and likely congenital/developmental.
There is minimal mucosal thickening in the left fronto-ethmoidal
recess and the anterior ethmoidal air cells, bilaterally.
Otherwise the visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells
are well-aerated. No fracture is seen
IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial abnormality
___ CT C-SPINE:
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute fracture.
2. Severe degenerative disease of the mid-cervical spine with
moderately severe canal narrowing at C5-6 and C6-7 and severe
right neural foraminal encroachment at the C6-7 level.
The several alignment abnormalities appear overall unchanged
since the head and neck CTA of ___, and likely relate to
underlying severe degenerative disc and facet joint disease.
___ ECHO:
The left atrium is mildly dilated. There is mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and global
systolic function (LVEF>55%). Due to suboptimal technical
quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully
excluded. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion
are normal. The ascending aorta is mildly dilated. The aortic
valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is
not present. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation.
There is no mitral valve prolapse. There is mild pulmonary
artery systolic hypertension. There is an anterior space which
most likely represents a prominent fat pad.
IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Mild symmetric left
ventricular hypertrophy with preserved global biventricular
systolic function. Mild pulmonary artery hypertension. No
pathologic flow identified.
Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___,
mild pulmonary artery hypertension is now identified.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Wrist pain status post fall.
LEFT WRIST, THREE VIEWS. LEFT SCAPHOID, SINGLE VIEW. LEFT ELBOW, TWO VIEWS.
LEFT WRIST AND SCAPHOID VW:
There is irregularity at the radial base of the fifth metacarpal, raising the
question of a fracture at the base of the fifth metacarpal. Otherwise, no
acute fracture is detected about the left wrist. Probable diffuse osteopenia.
However, there is evidence of advanced SLAC wrist deformity, with marked
widening of the radioscaphoid interval; proximal migration of the capitate
with bone-on-bone articulation of the capitate and lunate bone; and focally
severe narrowing of the radioscaphoid joint, with mechanical remodeling of the
distal radius related to the scaphoid. There is chondrocalcinosis.
In addition, there are calcifications adjacent to the radial edge of the
scaphoid, where a focal well-circumscribed erosion is detected. This
appearance could represent mechanical erosion or in the appropriate clinical
setting, could relate to gout or even an erosion due to a radial artery
abnormality.
LEFT ELBOW: No definite fracture. A small spur is seen arising from the
coronoid process and spurring along the sublime tubercle is also present.
Joint spaces otherwise preserved. No gross effusion.
IMPRESSION:
1. Possible fracture at the base of the fifth metacarpal bone. If clinically
indicated, dedicated hand radiographs, including an oblique view of the hand,
could help for further assessment. Otherwise, no fracture detected about the
wrist.
2. Evidence of advanced SLAC (scapholunate advanced collapse) wrist, together
with chondrocalcinosis. This could represent advanced stages of CPPD
arthropathy.
3. Erosion and adjoining soft tissue calcifications along the scaphoid -- ?
due to mechanical changes, gout, or possibly due to abnormality of the radial
artery.

It was a pleasure to care for you during your hospitalization.
You were admitted on ___ after passing out and falling. You
underwent an extensive evaluation including physical exams,
blood tests, and imaging studies. Based on these results, you
have suffered some minor trauma from the fall including a left
hand fracture and a nasal fracture.
You were evaluated for the cause of your frequent falls - the
cause is called orthostatic hypotension, which means low blood
pressure when you stand up. This causes you to pass out or come
close to passing out when you stand up.
We have changed the settings of your pacemaker to help your
heart rate increase to prevent these falls.
It is very important that you follow-up with Dr. ___ to
further address this. You should also follow-up with the
Orthopaedic Hand clinic to address your hand fracture.
Please be very careful when you are standing up and avoid doing
so abruptly. Since this often happens when you get up to use
your home phone, you should consider purchasing a portable phone
to carry on you instead.
We wish you the best of luck, and thank you for your military

It was a pleasure to take of you at ___
___.
You were admitted on ___ with new onset weakness and
numbness and tingling on the left side of your body. We
performed labs and scans of your brain to assess for a stroke
but we found no evidence of stroke on these tests. The blood
vessels of your brain did not appear to be clogged but because
you have a history of prior clots in the vessels of your eye, it
was thought that another small clot may have caused these
symptoms. Your diagnosis is transient ischemic attack or TIA,
which is a brief episode of stroke symptoms that resolves and
can be caused by blockage of small blood vessels in the brain.
Risk factors like high cholesterol can contribute to the risk of
TIA. It is important to control risk factors, maintain a
healthy diet and remain on the medications listed in your
discharge summary. Please also keep the follow up appointments
we have arrange for you. Thank you for allowing us to
participate in your care. |

History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ y/o man with history of ___, HTN, recent
sternoclavicular dislocation s/p ORIF, recent Enterobacter UTI
on
cefpodoxime now presenting with left groin pain.
Patient underwent ORIF of the right SC joint by Dr. ___ on
___ with discharge home on ___. With respect to his
shoulder, his pain has abated and he has been taking oxycodone
sparingly. He has been doing range of motion exercises as
prescribed.
He was seen in the ED on ___ for increased work of
breathing,
where he underwent CT of his neck which was negative, and was
subsequently discharged home.
He represented to the ED on ___ with hematuria/dysuria, and
per chart review, was noted to have mild retention and required
the placement of a three way catheter. He was discharged on
cefpodoxime. Of note, the urine culture from that time grew
pan-sensitive Enterobacter.
At 1000 on the day prior to presentation, the patient endorsed
acute onset of left testicular pain after trying to get out of
bed and reports he heard a "pop". He thought that he had pulled
a
muscle. He later noted that his left testicle was swollen. He
took Tylenol and oxycodone 5 mg (prescribed for his shoulder),
which helped his pain somewhat.
On the day of presentation, he reports that he was a witness in
his son's custody hearing so he did not take any pain
medications
so that he could be a clear witness. During the court hearing,
he
developed severe, sharp, throbbing pain in his left testicle
without radiation. This pain worsened throughout the lengthy
court appearance, and when he returned home he decided to call
an
ambulance. He denies any fevers or chills at home. He continues
to have dysuria but he reports his hematuria has resolved. No
abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. He is in a
monogamous
sexual relationship with his wife. No testicular trauma.
Upon arrival to the ED, initial VS were: 8 100.8 115 140/90 18
99% RA
Exam notable for: Left testicle is more swollen compared to
right. Tender to palpation. Normal color. Penis non-tender to
palpation. negative cremasteric reflex b/l
Labs were notable for WBC of 17.2, H/H of 11.9/35.9, Plt 393.
BMP
unremarkable with a Cr of 1.1. UA showed small blood, with large
leuk esterase.

___ 21:45 IVF NS 1000 mL
___ 00:09 IV Levofloxacin 500 mg
___ 00:46 IV Morphine Sulfate 4 mg
On arrival to the floor, the patient reports that he has left
testicular pain, about an ___. He tells me that given his twin
brother's substance abuse history, he is reluctant to take
narcotics and would prefer to avoid them if possible. Otherwise,
his shoulder feels slightly sore but not painful. Otherwise, he
feels well and has no complaints.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT ABD AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with previous gallbladder perforation, stable since ___, now with abdominal pain and altered mental status, h/o
cholangiocarcinoma, Cr 1.3 but will hydrate priorNO_PO contrast // change in
gallbladder pathology?
TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were obtained from the lung bases to the lesser
trochanters . IV Contrast was administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations
were prepared.
DOSE: DLP: 874 mGy-cm
COMPARISON: CT abdomen with contrast on ___.
FINDINGS:
Lungs and Heart: There is very minimal bibasilar atelectasis. There is no
pleural or pericardial effusion.
Liver, Gallbladder: There is intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation, which is
minimally increased from the prior exam. Pneumobilia is seen and is similar to
the prior exam. New from the prior exam are numerous hypodensities throughout
the liver predominantly in the right lobe at the dome, which may represent
bile lakes or infection (microabscesses not excluded) vs ___ of disease(less
likely). A biliary stent is again seen in unchanged position. Again seen is
increased fat stranding and soft tissue density adjacent to the gallbladder
consistent with a history of a contained gallbladder perforation. A 3.1 x 1.6
cm loculated fluid collection just inferior to the gallbladder appears
increased from the prior exam done on ___.
Spleen: The spleen is normal in size and enhancement.
Pancreas: The pancreas is normal with no masses or pancreatic ductal
dilatation seen.
Kidneys, Adrenals: Multiple hypodensities are seen in the kidneys bilaterally
consistent with renal cysts and are unchanged. Other subcentimeter
hypodensities are too small to characterize but likely also represent cysts.
The kidneys are otherwise unremarkable. There is a 2.3 x 1.9 cm left adrenal
adenoma which is unchanged in size and character from the prior examination .
Bowel: The small bowel is unremarkable. The large bowel is grossly normal.
Vessels: There is moderate atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta. There is
no aneurysmal dilatation of the aorta and its major branches are patent.
Lymph Nodes: There are no pathologically enlarged retroperitoneal or
mesenteric lymph nodes by CT size criteria.
Pelvis: The bladder is unremarkable. The sigmoid colon and rectum are normal
appearing. There is no pelvic sidewall lymphadenopathy
Osseous Structures: A small sclerotic focus in L4 is again demonstrated and is
likely a bone island. There is moderate degenerative change at L5-S1. No
suspicious lytic sclerotic lesions are identified
IMPRESSION:
1. Multiple new small hypodensities seen in the liver predominantly in the
right lobe, not previously seen on the prior examination may represent bile
lakes or infection, spread of cholangiocarcinoma felt less likely. Consider
MRI for further characterization.
2. Intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation is minimally increased from the
prior exam.
3. Discontinuity of the gallbladder wall and adjacent soft tissue and fat
stranding consistent with gallbladder perforation again seen with a small
increase in loculated fluid inferior to the gallbladder compared to the prior
study.
NOTIFICATION: Updated findings including new hypodensities possibly
representing infection/microabscesses discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr.
___ at approximately 4:15 pm on ___ in person.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRI abdomen with and without contrast.
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with metastatic cholangiocarcinoma, s/p
contained gallbladder perforation now w/ new liver lesions. // Assess
etiology of liver lesions
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1 and T2 weighted sequences were obtained in a 1.5
Tesla magnet including dynamic 3D imaging performed prior to, during, and
after the uneventful administration ___ of ___.
COMPARISON: CT from ___. MRI from ___.
FINDINGS:
Lung bases clear. There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. The heart is
enlarged. A small hiatal hernia is seen.
Susceptibility artifacts from metal stents are seen in the CBD and the central
intrahepatic biliary ducts. The cholangiocarcinoma itself at the central duct
bifurcation is not seen well due to the artifacts.
The dilatation of the bile ducts in segments 7 and 8 is more prominent
compared to the last study and do not contain air on this exam, as they used
to, arising suspicion for obstruction. Evaluation of the stent potency is
recommended.
The gallbladder is distended and contains fluid-fluid level, the dependent
portion of which has restricted diffusion (6:33) with low ADC values
consistent with thick inspissated contents. The lateral gallbladder wall is
discontinuous (07:31) with a tract leading to a partially seen multilobular
fluid collection abutting the hepatic flexure of the colon, measuring 4.8 x
2.8 cm (1003:126). This appearance has not significantly changed compared
___.
In segments 7 and 8 multiple hepatic irregular multicystic well defined
lesions are seen in the right lobe, which are internally mildly hyperintense
on T2WI and have rim enhancement (1002:45). These are new compared to ___ and enlarged compared to ___. The largest in segment 8
measures 3.8 x 2.7 cm. Patchy enhancement of the liver parenchyma is seen
around the lesions in segment 8. These are consistent with abscesses which are
mostly phlegmonous and not containing liquefied contents.
A 3 mm cystic lesion seen in the uncinate process of the pancreas (07:36),
representing a side branch IPMN.
Stable bilateral renal cortical cysts are seen.
A 2.8 cm mass seen in the left adrenal, showing areas of signal drop on the
out of phase images compared to in phase images, and unchanged from previous
studies, consistent with an adrenal adenoma (5:31).
No free fluid seen. No lymphadenopathy is seen.
Degenerative changes the spine with mild scoliosis are seen.
IMPRESSION:
1. Worsening dilatation with intrahepatic ducts in segments 7 and 8 with
disappearance of pneumobilia, suspicious for CBD stent dysfunction. Evaluation
of the stent potency is recommended.
2. Multiple lesions consistent with abscesses in segments 7 and 8, which show
worsening from the last CT which was done 2 days prior to the MRI. The
abscesses are only mildly hyperintense on T2WI, indicating mostly phlegmonous
contents. This may be aspirated for micro-organism culture.
3. Gallbladder wall discontinuity with a tract extending to the fluid
collection abutting the hepatic flexure of the colon, without significant
change from ___.
4. Stable left adrenal adenoma.

workstation.
DLP: 1634.17mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT head ___.
FINDINGS:
Noncontrast CT head: Evaluation of the parenchyma demonstrates no evidence of
mass effect, edema, hemorrhage or extra axial fluid collections. The basal
cisterns appear unremarkable. Gray/white matter differentiation is preserved.
The sulci appear unremarkable. The ventricles are midline without dilatation.
The calvarium appears intact. The visualized portions of the included
paranasal sinuses straight scattered areas of mucosal thickening with a polyp
or mucous retention cyst within the right maxillary sinus. The mastoid air
cells show normal aeration. Incidentally noted is hypodensity within the
palatine tonsils bilaterally which may be related to inflammation.
CTV head: Normal enhancement is demonstrated within the superior sagittal
sinus, straight sinus, transverse sinuses and bilateral sigmoid sinuses. The
jugular bulbs and proximal jugular veins are patent. Evaluation of the deep
venous system reveals normal enhancement in the thalamostriate veins and
internal cerebral veins. The vein ___ is also unremarkable. Suboptimal
evaluation of the included pencil intracranial arteries demonstrates nodes
obvious aneurysm or the significant stenosis.
IMPRESSION:
Unremarkable CT head without evidence of acute hemorrhage or mass effect.
Unremarkable CTV of the head without evidence of dural sinus venous
thrombosis.
Incidentally noted low-density within the palatine tonsils bilaterally which
may be related to inflammation; this should be correlated clinically.

level of pain: 5
level of acuity: 3.0 | Mr. ___, you were admitted to ___ after you
were found to have severe anemia (low red blood cell count) in
the emergency department. You originally came to the hospital
for headaches and fatigue. In the ER you had multiple tests that
showed your headaches were not from a life-threatening cause. In
fact, we think your headaches are possibly from having severe
anemia, and your fatigue and inability to exercise are probably
from anemia as well. Other possibilities for your headaches
include migraines or overuse of headache pain medications, which
sometimes causes withdrawal headaches. While you were here we
gave you a blood transfusion for your anemia. We think that your
anemia is from slow bleeding from your GI tract (stomach,
intestines, colon, or rectum) over time. Your history made us
think that your bleeding was from hemorrhoids, and other serious
conditions such as ulcers or cancers of the GI tract are rare,
but still possible. For this reason we made you appointments
with GI doctors to ___ for these conditions with a
procedure called endoscopy to look for any sources of bleeding
that are not from hemorrhoids. It is very important to keep
these appointments. When you go home it is also very important
to treat your constipation to prevent worsening hemorrhoids. We
will prescribe you with stool softeners. You should not have to
push or strain to move your bowels.
MEDICATION CHANGES:
-Stop taking propranolol. It can help prevent migraines, but can
worsen fatigue. You may be able to restart this when your anemia
is improved. Talk to your primary doctor about restarting this.
-Start taking iron pills. Take vitamin C with these. They can
upset your stomach so it's OK to take them with food. Your
primary doctor ___ tell you when to stop.
-Continue taking tramadol for headaches |

COMPARISON: ___ CT abdomen pelvis
TECHNIQUE: Volumetric CT acquisition of the abdomen and pelvis was performed
after administration of oral and 130 mL of Omnipaque 350 IV contrast material.
Post-processing reconstruction was performed in the coronal and sagittal
planes.
DLP: 288 mGy-cm
FINDINGS:
The lung bases are clear. Normal heart size. Trace pericardial effusion. An
enteric tube is present within the stomach, which is not distended. The liver
is normal in appearance and enhancement without evidence of solid intrahepatic
mass. 1.8 cm cyst in segment 2. Smaller additional cysts in the segment 6.
There is no intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. The portal vein is
patent. The gallbladder is normal in appearance.
There is severe left hydroureteronephrosis to the level of the pelvic mass.
The left kidney continues to take up contrast however none is excreted during
the examination. An enlarged, heterogeneously enhancing mesenteric lymph node
is present, which measures 1.7 x 1.8 x 2.1 cm, previously measuring 1.3 x 1.4
x 1.9cm. (series 5, image 44 and sagittal image 35). A smaller
heterogeneously enhancing lymph node is present in the mesentery to the left
of midline in the pelvis, adjacent to but separate from the bowel anastomosis
(series 5, image 53). This measures 1.2 x 1 cm, not significantly changed
from prior exam where it measured 1.3 x 1 cm. The adrenal glands, right
kidney, pancreas, and spleen are normal in appearance. A single prominent
loop of small bowel is present in the left upper quadrant, however remaining
loops of bowel are normal in caliber without evidence of obstruction. There
is no free fluid or free air. The abdominal aorta is normal in caliber with
scattered atherosclerosis.
Postsurgical changes are present in the colon with anastomoses intact. The
urinary bladder is unremarkable. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. Again
seen is a necrotic left hemipelvis mass, which is heterogeneously enhancing.
The left common iliac runs along the mass superiorly anteriorly. The mass
measures 6.7 x 4.6 x 5.3 cm, which may be slightly enlarged from prior exam
where it measured 5.5 x 4.5 x 4.7 cm. The mass directly abuts the anastomosis
at the rectum sigmoid junction. It does not appear to invade or obstructs the
rectum or sigmoid, however a discrete fat plane is nonvisualized. Osseous
structures are intact.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval worsening of metastatic disease with mild interval enlargement of
a mesenteric site of metastatic disease. Additional mesenteric lymph node
near the colon anastomosis is stable, but compatible with metastatic focus.
2. Slight interval enlargement of the left pelvic mass, which may be is
approaching the anastamotic sutures at the rectosigmoid junction. There is
mass effect upon the colon, but no evidence of upstream colon obstruction.
3. Severe left hydronephrosis, stable.
4. No evidence of bowel obstruction.
Updated read from preliminary report (regarding worsening tumor burden) was
discussed with Dr. ___ at 12:30pm.
Radiology Report

and sagittal MP-RAGE as well as post-contrast axial and coronal reformations.
Three-dimensional time-of-flight MR arteriography as well as 2D time-of-flight
MR venography were performed, both with rotational targeted MIP
reconstructions.
FINDINGS:
BRAIN MRI: There is no acute infarct. There is no evidence of intra- or
extraaxial mass, and no pathologic pachy- or leptomeningeal contrast
enhancement, to suggest intracranial metastatic disease. There is no evidence
of intracerebral edema or hemorrhage. There are multiple small foci of high T2
signal in the supratentorial white matter, likely sequela of chronic small
vessel ischemic disease in a patient of this age. Multiple prominent
perivascular spaces are incidentally noted. There is 3mm ectopia of the
cerebellar tonsils without effacement of CSF space around the tonsils,
cervicomedullary junction kinking, or other stigmata of a Chiari malformation.
Ventricles and sulci are normal in size.
BRAIN MRA: Normal flow-related enhancement is seen in the intracranial
internal carotid and vertebral arteryies, and their major branches, without
evidence for flow-limiting stenoses or aneurysms.
BRAIN MRV: There is normal flow-related enhancement in the major dural venous
sinuses without evidence of thrombosis.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of intracranial metastatic disease. No acute infarction.
2. Normal brain MRA

oriented to self only. This morning at her facility she became
agitated and combative as well as having decreased PO intake and
was transported via EMS to ___ for evaluation and management.
Upon arrival she was no responding to commands but was awake and
protecting her airway. All extremities were moving. Workup was
done for underlying causes and ultimately a CT scan of the head
was done which showed left sided subdural hematoma measuring
2.2cm in maximal thickness causing approximately 6mm of midline
shift and the SDH was of mixed density with an acute component.
Of note her INR was 4.7 upon arrival and per the ED protocol she
recieved KCENTRA and vitamin K. Neurosurgery was consulted for
assistance with management given her CT findings.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST (AP AND LAT)
INDICATION: History: ___ with altered mental status , dementia, diabetes ,
hypertension
TECHNIQUE: Upright AP and lateral views of the chest
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Left-sided dual-chamber pacemaker device is noted with leads terminating in
the right atrium and right ventricle. Moderate enlargement of cardiac
silhouette with left ventricular predominance is noted. The aorta is diffusely
calcified. The mediastinal and hilar contours are within normal limits. The
pulmonary vasculature is normal. No focal consolidation, pleural effusion or
pneumothorax is identified. There are no acute osseous abnormalities.
Multilevel degenerative changes are present within the thoracic spine.
IMPRESSION:
No acute cardiopulmonary abnormality.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: History: ___ with altered mental status, dementia at baseline //
? acute intracranial process
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained from the skull base
through the vertex, without IV administration of contrast. Reformatted coronal
and sagittal and thin-section bone algorithm-reconstructed images were
acquired, and all images are viewed in brain and bone window on the
workstation.
DOSE: DLP (mGy-cm): 780.4.
CTDIvol (mGy): 55.6.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
A large left frontal extra-axial mixed heterogeneous collection measures up to
2.2 cm in greatest depth, and causes significant mass effect upon the adjacent
left frontal sulci (2:17, 601b:41), and is associated with approximately 5.5
mm rightward shift of normally midline structures. Dependent mixing of
hyperdense and hypodense internal contents suggest active bleeding. There is
mild effacement of the left lateral ventricle. The basal cisterns appear
patent and there is preservation of the gray-white matter differentiation.
Scattered periventricular white matter hypodensities are compatible with
chronic small vessel infarction.
No fracture or suspicious osseous lesion is identified.The included paranasal
sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear.The orbits are
unremarkable. Intracranial calcification of the cavernous portions of the
carotid arteries are noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large left frontal extra-axial hemorrhage, likely subdural, with findings
suggesting active bleeding.
2. Associated 5.5 mm rightward shift of normally midline structures.
NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___
telephone on ___ at 19:55, 5 minutes after discovery of the findings.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: NON CONTRAST HEAD CT
INDICATION: Left subdural hematoma. Evaluate interval change.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the head
without IV contrast. Sagittal, coronal and bone thin algorithm
reconstructions were generated.
Total exam DLP: 892 mGy-cm.
CTDI: 55 mGy.
COMPARISON: Head CT from ___.
FINDINGS:
There is redemonstration of a large left frontal extra-axial mixed
heterogeneous collection which measures approximately 1.8 cm in greatest
dimension. There is continued mass effect upon the adjacent left frontal sulci
and stable 5.5 mm rightward shift of normally midline structures. As on prior
examination, there is persistent dependent mixing of the hyperdense and
hypodense components suggesting active bleeding. There is mild effacement of
the left lateral ventricle. Otherwise, the basal cisterns appear patent. There
is no new area of active bleeding. Scattered periventricular white matter
hypodensities are likely the sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
There is no fracture. The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and
middle ear cavities are clear.
IMPRESSION:
Redemonstration of large left frontal extra-axial hemorrhage, with findings
again suggestive of active bleeding. There is stable 5.5 mm rightward shift of
midline structures.

There is no pericardial and no pleural effusion.
There is no axillary, hilar, or mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
The thoracic aorta is normal. There is no evidence of aortic dissection and
no large central pulmonary embolism. However, due to motion artifact,
segmental and subsegmental emboli cannot be excluded. Paraseptal emphysema is
seen predominantly in the upper lobes. There are mild bibasilar atelectasis.
There is no focal consolidation.
There is no pneumothorax.
CTA OF THE ABDOMEN:
There are no focal liver lesions. The gallbladder is normal. The pancreas
and spleen are normal. There is a small accessory spleen in the left upper
quadrant. The kidneys are normal. The adrenal glands are normal and there is
no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy.
There are moderate atherosclerotic calcifications of the abdominal aorta.
Incidental note is made of kinking of the celiac axis. This can be seen in
median arcuate ligament syndrome, however, is nonspecific without abdominal
symptoms. There are moderate-to-severe atherosclerotic calcifications of the
iliac arteries bilaterally.
There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. The esophagus,
small and large bowel, are normal.
CT OF THE PELVIS: The urinary bladder is partially visualized and appears
normal. There is no free fluid and no free air.

It was a pleasure taking care of you! You were admitted to ___
for evaluation and treatment of low oxygen levels. You were
evaluated with a number of studies including blood tests, CT
scan of your chest and abdomen, chest xray, toxicology screens,
and ambulatory O2 monitoring. You did not have evidence of a
concerning, acute cause of hypoxia such as a pulmonary embolus,
pneumonia, or heart problem. We suspect you have elements of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (sometimes known as
emphysema) given your smoking history as well as obstructive
sleep apnea. We think these factors, in addition to sedating
medications, caused you to be transiently hypoxic (low oxygen).
We recommend that you follow-up with your primary care provider
or obtain one after your psychiatric hospitalization to have
formal pulmonary function tests performed as well as a sleep
study.
.
The following changes have been made to your medications:
-We are continuing your current medications with the exception
of trazodone and lorazepam per the discretion of the
psychiatrists at ___. We do, however, recommend limiting
the use of lorazepam (ativan) in you given your likely
obstructive sleep apnea and COPD as this could make you more
likely to have low oxygen levels

REPORTS
___ CTA H&N - CTA NECK:
1. Severe mixed atherosclerosis the aortic arch and its major
branches.
2. A severely atherosclerotic retroesophageal right subclavian
artery
demonstrates a focal posteriorly oriented outpouching measuring
approximately
8 x 8 mm (series 3, image 68) concerning for pseudoaneurysm
formation.
Calcifications adjacent to this outpouching may imply
chronicity.
3. Calcified plaque formation at the left common carotid origin
with greater
than 50% stenosis.
4. Severe mixed calcified and noncalcified plaque formation at
the left
carotid bifurcation with complete occlusion of the left internal
carotid
artery from just above the internal carotid artery origin
through the distal
petrous ICA, likely secondary to atherosclerosis.
5. There is severe mixed calcified and noncalcified plaque
formation at the
right carotid bifurcation with focal 80% stenosis of the right
proximal ICA by
NASCET criteria, which is reconstituted distally.
Calcified plaque at the right vertebral artery origin with
severe stenosis,
with distal reconstitution.
CTA HEAD:
1. Reconstitution of the occluded left internal carotid artery
at the level of
the cavernous segment. The left ACA and posterior communicating
artery are
patent. There is patency but asymmetric diffuse narrowing of the
left MCA.
2. The right MCA, ACA, posterior communicating arteries and the
posterior
circulation appears normal.
OTHER:
1. Soft tissue density at the left lung apex surrounding the
branches of the
left upper lobe bronchus with bronchiectasis is incompletely
evaluated on the
current study and unchanged since CT chest dated ___.
This may
reflect chronic scarring and atelectasis and/or postsurgical
changes, however
underlying mass is not excluded. Consider follow-up
high-resolution CT of the
chest as well as comparison to any available outside imaging.
Please refer to
report from dedicated CT chest performed ___ for
discussion of
pulmonary findings.
___ Cardiovascular Transthoracic Echo Report
No structural cardiac source of embolism (e.g.patent foramen
ovale/atrial septal defect, intracardiac thrombus, or
vegetation) seen. Normal left ventricular wall thickness, cavity
size, and regional/global biventricular systolic function.
Increased PCWP. No valvular pathology or pathologic flow
identified. Borderline elevated pulmonary artery systolic
pressure.
___ Imaging CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
Probably unchanged extent of hemorrhagic transformation of left
middle
cerebral artery infarction since the very recent prior MR.
___ Imaging MRI & MRA BRAIN AND MRA
1. Subacute infarction in the left MCA territory, including the
inferior
frontal gyrus, insular cortex, and left basal ganglia.
Unchanged subarachnoid
hemorrhage adjacent to patient's infarct core without evidence
of
intraparenchymal hemorrhage.
2. Additional areas of infarction are seen in the right frontal
as well as the
left frontal and parietal lobes, likely due to distal emboli.
3. Short patent segment of the left internal carotid artery is
visualized
distal to the carotid bifurcation, with occlusion of the
remaining left
internal carotid artery proximal to the supraclinoid segment,
unchanged
compared to final run from patient's recent angiogram.
4. Reconstitution of the supraclinoid ICA as well as the distal
left MCA/ACA
territories is likely due to collateral filling from the
ophthalmic artery, as
seen on patient's angiogram.
5. Atheromatous, stenoses of the ostia of the bilateral common
carotid and
vertebral arteries result in greater than 50% narrowing.
Additional stenosis
at the ostium of the left subclavian artery results in less than
25%
narrowing. However, approximately 1 cm from the ostium of the
left subclavian
artery, there is an additional short segment narrowing of
greater than 50%.
6. High-grade stenosis of the proximal right internal carotid
artery, spanning
approximately 9 mm in length. Stenosis is so severe as to
produce near
complete loss of signal, preventing reliable measurement of the
residual lumen
diameter, likely greater than 75%.

Total DLP (Head) = 1,308 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: MRA head ___, CT head ___
FINDINGS:
Effacement of gray-white matter distinction in the mid left frontal lobe
corresponds to a region of cortical infarction, better delineated on the very
recent prior diffusion-weighted imaging. Decreased opacification along left
frontal sulci suggests clearance of contrast compared to the recent prior CT
and to some extent this may also reflect redistribution of subarachnoid
hemorrhage since that time. Compared to the more recent MR, however, the
extent of hyperdense material on this study corresponds well to areas of
susceptibility on the recent recent susceptibility weighted MR imaging. This
is consistent with short-term stability of the extent of subarachnoid
hemorrhage associated with recent infarction. Hypodensity within the left
basal ganglia consistent with known left MCA infarct. No substantial midline
shift or mass effect.
There is no evidence of fracture. The visualized portion of the paranasal
sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. Both orbits
have been replaced, otherwise the visualized portion of the orbits are
unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
Probably unchanged extent of hemorrhagic transformation of left middle
cerebral artery infarction since the very recent prior MR.

Dr. ___ fellow performed the procedure. Dr.
___ supervised the trainee during any key components of the
procedure where applicable and reviewed and agrees with the findings as
reported below.
ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of
37.5mcg of fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of 35 minutes
during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored
by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the
skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site.
MEDICATIONS: See above
CONTRAST: 35 ml of Optiray contrast
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 2.6 min, 39 mGy
PROCEDURE: 1. Placement of a MIC gastrostomy tube placement.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed
supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___
protocol. The tube site was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
A scout image of the abdomen was obtained. The stomach was insufflated through
the indwelling nasogastric tube. Using a marker, the skin was marked using
palpation to feel the costal margins and the liver edge was marked using
ultrasound. Permanent ultrasound images were stored.
Under fluoroscopic guidance, 3 T fastener buttons were sequentially deployed
in a triangular position elevating the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall.
Intra-gastric position was confirmed with aspiration of air and injection of
contrast. A 19 gauge needle was introduced under fluoroscopic guidance and
position confirmed using an injection of dilute contrast. A ___ wire was
introduced into the stomach. A small skin incision was made along the needle
and the needle was removed.
Tract dilation was performed using a 10 x 4 mm Conquest balloon, preloaded
with the MIC gastrostomy catheter. The gastrostomy catheter was advanced
along with the balloon over the wire into position. The catheter was secured
by instilling 7 ml of dilute contrast into the balloon in the stomach. The
indwelling dilation balloon was deflated and removed along with the wire
through the gastrostomy tube. Intragastric positioning was confirmed with a
contrast injection. The tube with the inflated balloon, surrounded by
intraluminal contrast, was freely mobile within the stomach. The catheter was
then flushed, capped and secured to the skin with the disc hubbed close to the
T fastener hubs.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no immediate
complications.
FINDINGS:
1. Successful placement of a MIC gastrostomy tube.
IMPRESSION:
Successful placement of a MIC gastrostomy tube. The catheter should not be
used for 24 hours.

FINDINGS:
CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST:
There is been interval near complete resolution of the previously noted left
MCA territory intraparenchymal hemorrhage and left convexity subarachnoid
hemorrhage, with trace residual sulcal hyperdensity along the left parietal
lobe which may reflect residual blood products. There is decreased
parenchymal edema in the left MCA territory with increasing hypoattenuation
within the left frontal and parietal lobes, left basal ganglia and right
frontal lobe compatible with evolving infarction. No evidence of new
hemorrhage. No mass-effect or midline shift. The basilar cisterns remain
patent.
Additional scattered bilateral periventricular white matter and subcortical
regions of hypoattenuation are nonspecific but compatible with chronic
microvascular ischemic changes. Prominence of the ventricles and sulci
diffusely is compatible with atrophic changes.
The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells,and middle
ear cavities are clear. A hearing aid device is noted on the left. Status
post bilateral lens replacement and scleral band placement on the right.
Nasoenteric tube partially imaged.
CTA NECK:
There is severe atherosclerosis the aortic arch and its major branches. There
is a retroesophageal course of a severely atherosclerotic right subclavian
artery, which demonstrates a focal posteriorly oriented outpouching measuring
approximately 8 x 8 mm (series 3, image 68), likely a pseudoaneurysm.
Calcifications adjacent to this outpouching may imply chronicity.
There is calcified plaque at the left common carotid origin with greater than
50% stenosis. There is severe mixed calcified and noncalcified plaque
formation at the left carotid bifurcation with complete occlusion of the left
internal carotid artery from just above the internal carotid artery origin
through the distal petrous ICA.
There is calcified plaque formation at the origin of the right common carotid
artery from the aorta with less than 50% stenosis. There is severe mixed
calcified and noncalcified plaque formation at the right carotid bifurcation
with focal 80% stenosis of the right proximal ICA by NASCET criteria.
There is calcified plaque at the right vertebral artery origin with severe
stenosis, however distal reconstitution is noted. There is mild calcification
at the left vertebral artery origin without significant stenosis. Otherwise,
the bilateral vertebral arteries appear normal in course and caliber.
CTA HEAD:
There is reconstitution of the left internal carotid artery at the level of
the cavernous segment. The right internal carotid artery demonstrates mild
calcifications within the cavernous segment without stenosis. The right MCA,
ACA and posterior communicating arteries appear normal. The left ACA A1 and
A2 segments appear normal, as does the left posterior communicating artery.
There is patency but asymmetric diffuse narrowing of the left MCA. There is a
2 mm outpouching off the left M1 segment of the left middle cerebral artery
with exiting vessel near its tip, compatible with small infundibulum. The
posterior circulation appears normal. No evidence of aneurysm formation
greater than 3 mm.
The dural venous sinuses are patent.
OTHER:
Soft tissue density at the left apex surrounding the branches of the left
upper lobe bronchus with bronchiectasis is incompletely evaluated on the
current study and unchanged since CT chest dated ___. This may
reflect postsurgical changes/chronic scarring and atelectasis, however
underlying mass is not excluded. Follow-up high-resolution CT of the chest is
recommended as well as comparison to any available outside imaging. There is
mild scarring at the right lung apex. There is mild mediastinal
lymphadenopathy, with a subcarinal lymph node measuring up to 8 mm short axis.
Please refer to report from dedicated CT chest performed ___ for
discussion of pulmonary findings. The thyroid gland is homogeneous in
attenuation. Scattered subcentimeter cervical lymph nodes are noted
bilaterally without evidence of cervical lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria.
IMPRESSION:
CT HEAD:

intraparenchymal hemorrhage and left convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage, with
now trace residual subarachnoid hemorrhage along the left parietal lobe.
2. Decreased parenchymal edema in the left MCA territory with increasing
hypoattenuation within the left frontal and parietal lobes, left basal ganglia
and right frontal lobe compatible with evolving infarcts/developing
encephalomalacia.
3. No definite acute intracranial hemorrhage. No significant mass-effect or
midline shift.
CTA NECK:
1. Severe mixed atherosclerosis the aortic arch and its major branches.
2. A severely atherosclerotic retroesophageal right subclavian artery
demonstrates a focal posteriorly oriented outpouching measuring approximately
8 x 8 mm (series 3, image 68) concerning for pseudoaneurysm formation.
Calcifications adjacent to this outpouching may imply chronicity.
3. Calcified plaque formation at the left common carotid origin with greater
than 50% stenosis.
4. Severe mixed calcified and noncalcified plaque formation at the left
carotid bifurcation with complete occlusion of the left internal carotid
artery from just above the internal carotid artery origin through the distal
petrous ICA, likely secondary to atherosclerosis.
5. There is severe mixed calcified and noncalcified plaque formation at the
right carotid bifurcation with focal 80% stenosis of the right proximal ICA by
NASCET criteria, which is reconstituted distally.
Calcified plaque at the right vertebral artery origin with severe stenosis,
with distal reconstitution.
CTA HEAD:
1. Reconstitution of the occluded left internal carotid artery at the level of
the cavernous segment. The left ACA and posterior communicating artery are
patent. There is patency but asymmetric diffuse narrowing of the left MCA.
2. The right MCA, ACA, posterior communicating arteries and the posterior
circulation appears normal.
OTHER:
1. Soft tissue density at the left lung apex surrounding the branches of the
left upper lobe bronchus with bronchiectasis is incompletely evaluated on the
current study and unchanged since CT chest dated ___. This may
reflect chronic scarring and atelectasis and/or postsurgical changes, however

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN AND MRA NECK PT11 MR ___
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with left MCA syndrome// Assess stroke
TECHNIQUE: Three dimensional time of flight MR arteriography was performed
through the brain with maximum intensity projection reconstructions.
Brain imaging was performed with diffusion, T1, FLAIR, T2, and gradient echo
technique.
Dynamic MRA of the neck was performed during administration intravenous
contrast.
Three dimensional maximum intensity projection and segmented images were
generated. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. The
examination was performed using a 1.5T MRI.
COMPARISON: Multiple outside exams from ___ at 19:26; CT head from
___ at 02:25
FINDINGS:
MRI BRAIN:
Decreased diffusivity in the left MCA territory, within the inferior left
frontal gyrus, insula, with extension into the left basal ganglia (Series 4;
image 19, series 3; image 19), consistent with left MCA territory infarction.
Multiple additional infarcts are seen throughout the right frontal lobe
(series 4; image 26) as well as in the left frontal and parietal lobes, likely
due to distal emboli. There is increased FLAIR signal in these regions,
consistent with subacute time line.
Additional, periventricular and subcortical white matter FLAIR
hyperintensities are nonspecific, but likely suggestive of chronic
microvascular ischemic disease.
There is subarachnoid hemorrhage in the sylvian fissure, similar to the head
CT examination. There is no evidence of intraparenchymal hemorrhage.
Mild mucosal thickening of the bilateral anterior ethmoid air cells is noted.
Remaining paranasal sinuses are clear. There are bilateral lens replacements.
Right scleral buckle is noted.
MRA BRAIN/NECK:
Aberrant right subclavian is seen as the last vessel off the aortic arch.
Left common and external carotid arteries appear patent. Short, patent segment
of left internal carotid artery is visualized distal to the carotid
bifurcation, with occlusion of the remaining left internal carotid artery
proximal to the supraclinoid segment. The left supraclinoid internal carotid
artery as well as the A1 and M1 segments of the anterior and middle cerebral
arteries are identified. These likely fill via collaterals..
The posterior circulation appears normal. Right-sided anterior circulation
appears patent without aneurysm or stenosis.
Atheromatous stenoses of greater than 50% are noted at the ostia of the
bilateral common carotid and vertebral arteries. Additionally, there is
stenosis of less than 25% at the origin of the left subclavian artery and a
stenosis of greater than 50% approximately 1 cm from the ostium of the left
subclavian artery. Immediately distal to the right carotid bifurcation, there
is high-grade stenosis of the right internal carotid artery. Stenosis is
approximately 9 mm in length, with patency distal to this finding. The
narrowing is so severe as to produce near complete loss of signal. This
prevents a reliable measurement of the residual lumen diameter. It is likely
to be greater than 75% by NASCET criteria.
Beyond their ostia, bilateral vertebral arteries show no high-grade stenosis
with mild left dominance throughout their course. Basilar artery appears
patent.
IMPRESSION:
1. Subacute infarction in the left MCA territory, including the inferior
frontal gyrus, insular cortex, and left basal ganglia. Unchanged subarachnoid
hemorrhage adjacent to patient's infarct core without evidence of
intraparenchymal hemorrhage.
2. Additional areas of infarction are seen in the right frontal as well as the
left frontal and parietal lobes, likely due to distal emboli.
3. Short patent segment of the left internal carotid artery is visualized
distal to the carotid bifurcation, with occlusion of the remaining left
internal carotid artery proximal to the supraclinoid segment, unchanged
compared to final run from patient's recent angiogram.
4. Reconstitution of the supraclinoid ICA as well as the distal left MCA/ACA
territories is likely due to collateral filling from the ophthalmic artery, as
seen on patient's angiogram.
5. Atheromatous, stenoses of the ostia of the bilateral common carotid and
vertebral arteries result in greater than 50% narrowing. Additional stenosis
at the ostium of the left subclavian artery results in less than 25%
narrowing. However, approximately 1 cm from the ostium of the left subclavian
artery, there is an additional short segment narrowing of greater than 50%.
6. High-grade stenosis of the proximal right internal carotid artery, spanning
approximately 9 mm in length. Stenosis is so severe as to produce near
complete loss of signal, preventing reliable measurement of the residual lumen
diameter, likely greater than 75%.
NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___,
M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 1:37 pm, 5 minutes after discovery of the
findings.

100.3 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 903 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Head CT ___ performed at ___
___..
FINDINGS:
There is high density in the left frontal and temporal lobes as well as the
caudate, globus pallidus and putamen. This examination was performed after 2
CTA examinations and extended catheter arteriography, angioplasty, stenting
and thrombectomy. Therefore, much of this high density may represent contrast
enhancement in ischemic brain. However, a component of the high density is
clearly in the subarachnoid space. This would suggest contrast, blood, or
both in the left sylvian fissure. MR imaging may be helpful to determine the
extent of hemorrhage as opposed to contrast enhancement.
There is a broad area of hypodensity in the left middle cerebral artery
distribution that suggests early subacute infarction.
There is mild mass-effect on the left lateral ventricle without midline shift.
The ventricles and sulci are enlarged in an atrophic pattern.
There is no evidence of fracture. The visualized portion of the paranasal
sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The visualized
portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
Hyperdensity in the left frontal and temporal lobes and basal ganglia suggests
contrast enhancement involving infarcted brain.
Broad area of hypodensity in the left middle cerebral artery distribution is
likely there are early subacute infarction.
The subarachnoid hemorrhage in the left sylvian fissure.
MR imaging may be helpful to delineate the extent of infarction and
hemorrhage.

AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: No axillary, mediastinal, or hilar
lymphadenopathy is present. No mediastinal mass. The esophagus is patulous.
PLEURAL SPACES: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
LUNGS/AIRWAYS: There is atelectasis of the Left upper lobe without definite
evidence of mass or bronchial obstruction. However, in the region of the Left
upper lobe bronchus, there is ill-defined soft tissue density, incompletely
characterized but likely the source of obstruction (02:38). There is
predominantly centrilobular emphysema, most prominent in the bilateral lung
apices. The airways are patent to the level of the segmental bronchi
bilaterally.
BASE OF NECK: The thyroid gland is heterogeneous without evidence of a
discrete nodule. Otherwise, visualized portions of the base of the neck show

You were hospitalized due to symptoms of right sided weakness
and difficulty speaking 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:
high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer history
We are changing your medications as follows:
ADD clopidogrel
ADD Atorvastatin
Please take your other medications as prescribed. We considered
starting aspirin, but held off because of your allergy history
to NSAIDs, which are related to aspirin.
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

100 mcg of fentanyl and 2 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service
time of 9 min during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were
continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine
was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site.
MEDICATIONS: None
CONTRAST: 5 ml of Optiray contrast.
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 1.5 min, 1 mGy
PROCEDURE: 1. Right ultrasound guided renal collecting system access.
2. Right nephrostogram.
3. 8 ___ nephrostomy tube placement.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed
supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___
protocol. The right flank was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
After the injection of 5 cc of 1% lidocaine in the subcutaneous soft tissues,
the right renal collecting system was accessed through a posterior lower pole
calyx under ultrasound guidance using a 21 gauge Cook needle. Ultrasound
images of the access were stored on PACS. Prompt return of urine confirmed
appropriate positioning. Injection of a small amount of contrast outlined a
dilated renal collecting system. Under fluoroscopic guidance, a Nitinol wire
was advanced into the renal collecting system. After a skin ___, the needle
was exchanged for an Accustick sheath. Once the tip of the sheath was in the
collecting system; the sheath was advanced over the wire, inner dilator and
metallic stiffener. The wire and inner dilator were then removed and diluted
contrast was injected into the collecting system to confirm position. A ___
wire was advanced through the sheath and coiled in the collecting system. The
sheath was then removed and a 8 ___ nephrostomy tube was advanced into the
renal collecting system. The wire was then removed and the pigtail was formed
in the collecting system. Contrast injection confirmed appropriate
positioning. The catheter was then flushed, 0 silk stay sutures applied and
the catheter was secured with a Stat Lock device and sterile dressings. The
catheter was attached to a bag.

level of acuity: 3.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
You were admitted to the hospital because you were having fevers
and back pain. Your symptoms were due to an obstructing stone
in the right kidney. You had a CT scan, which visualized the
large kidney stone and also several smaller stones in the L
kidney.
You were given intravenous fluids for hydration and were started
on intravenous antibiotics. The urologists evaluated you and
recommended placing a percutaneous nephrostomy tube (tube to
drain urine from the kidney) because the stone was blocking the
flow of urine into the bladder.
Your symptoms greatly improved after the nephrostomy tube
placement and initiation of antibiotics. Given the bacteria
growing in your urine (Alpha hemolytic Strep, Group B Strep),
you will need to continue antibiotics through ___ to treat a
urinary tract infection.
The nephrostomy tube will remain in place until your stone is
removed, which should occur over the next several weeks. Your
new urologist will discuss with you the options for stone
removal.
If you are experiencing any new fevers/chills, back pain, or
decreased urine output from your nephrostomy tube. You should
call your doctor or present to the emergency department should
your symptoms not improve.
You will also follow-up with your new nephrologist for urine
test in around one month in order to determine the composition
of your kidney stones. This may allow for targeted lifestyle
modifications to prevent future kidney stone recurrence. Your
PCP ___ need to refer you to a nephrologist. You can ask to be
referred to either Dr. ___ or Dr. ___.
Your blood pressure medications (Lisinopril and
Hydrochlorothiazide) were held because your blood pressures were
slightly decreased due to the infection. Please discuss
restarting these medications with your primary care doctor.
It is very important that your remain hydrated and follow-up
with your doctors as listed below.
It was a pleasure taking care of you!

with movement. No skew. FNF WNL. MDM
nchct: new worse findings, Neuro surg was consulted. No
immediate
neurosurgical interventions per Nsurg. recommend admission to
OMED, MRI pending. ER resident dw Nsurg re: urgency of MRI, per
Nsurg, MRI can be ordered for tomorrow AM.
On floor, pt reports that he has been having headaches which are
fairly new to him in past 2 days. Location- Frontal, bilaterally
as well has in nape of his neck. Denies fevers, rash, exposure
to
sick contacts. He feels the headaches started after he decreased
the dexamethasone pills from 1mg to 0.5 mg 2 days ago.
He had an episode of vomiting yesterday. He noticed today aM
that
he could not walk very well. He described it as 'wanting to
move,
but my brain feels stuck'. Family with him denies any tendencies
to lean or sway towards left/right. They saw him sway back and
forth while sitting on ER bed. Currently he feels better

Total DLP (Head) = 903 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: A CT from ___. Multiple MRIs, most recently dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Again seen is hyperdense focus in the right periventricular region, measuring
up to 7 mm with extensive vasogenic edema, exerting mass effect on the
posterior horn of the lateral ventricle, not significantly changed compared to
prior exam. The multiple hyperdense foci abutting the ependymal surface
likely represent blood products as previously characterized on the multiple
MRIs. Previously described enhancing right frontal nodule is not seen on
today's exam, likely due to differences in technique. The enhancing left
parietal nodule is not seen on today's exam, though there remains vasogenic
edema in the expected location, not significantly changed compared to prior
exam, allowing for differences in technique. In the right middle cerebellar
peduncle, there is heterogeneous hyperdensity measuring up to 1.3 x 1.1 cm,
likely corresponding with the enhancing focus on the prior MRI, surrounded by
extensive vasogenic edema, persistently effacing the fourth ventricle. New
since ___, the focus is hyper dense on CT. There was no evidence of
hemorrhage on ___ at this location. There is effacement of the
ambient cisterns especially on the right. The extent of edema is difficult to
compare due to differences in technique, and there is no improvement. Left
cerebellar enhancing focus is not seen on today's exam, though there is mild
edema in the expected location. The size of the ventricles are stable. There
is no evidence of new territorial infarct.
There is no evidence of acute fracture. The visualized portion of the
paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval development of hyperdense focus in the right cerebellar peduncle
since ___. No new territorial infarct, though evaluation would be more
sensitive on MRI. No definite new intracranial hemorrhage.
2. Extensive vasogenic edema involving the right and left parietal lobe, right
and left cerebellum. Hyperdense nodules, likely corresponding with the
previously described enhancing foci.
3. Persistent effacement of the fourth ventricle and the ambient cisterns,
possibly progressed, though difficult to evaluate the progression since ___ due to differences in modality.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Chest pain hypoxia.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS:
Left subclavian central venous catheter is again seen with tip in the region
of the proximal right atrium. The cardiac silhouette is mildly enlarged.
There are perihilar opacities which may be due to fluid overload. Additional
left perihilar mid lung opacity is seen which could relate to fluid overload,
although underlying infectious process is not excluded, or even aspiration.
No large pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
Radiology Report
EXAM: Chest, single supine AP portable view.
CLINICAL INFORMATION: Intubation NG tube placement.
___ at 14:56.
FINDINGS: Interval placement of an endotracheal tube is seen, terminating
approximately 2.9 cm above the level of the carina. Enteric tube is in place
coursing below the level of the diaphragm, inferior aspect not well seen. The
cardiac silhouette remains enlarged. Left perihilar opacity persists.
Prominence of the central pulmonary vasculature again may be due to mild fluid
overload. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The cardiac and mediastinal
silhouettes are stable.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Presenting with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, also hypoxic
to 90% on nonrebreather. Evaluate for pulmonary embolism, pancreatitis,
colitis.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis, ___. CTA chest and CT abdomen
and pelvis, ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous helical MDCT images were obtained through the chest,
abdomen, and pelvis after the administration of 130 cc of Omnipaque IV
contrast. Multiplanar axial, coronal, and sagittal images were obtained.
Additionally, oblique maximum intensity projection images through the chest
were generated.
FINDINGS:
CT THORAX: The partially visualized thyroid is unremarkable. There is no
supraclavicular, axillary, hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The airways
are patent to the subsegmental level. The heart is enlarged. There is no
pericardial effusion. The great vessels are within normal limits. There is
no hiatal hernia. An ET tube terminates 2.6 cm from the carina. An enteric
tube is noted in the esophagus and terminates in the stomach. Lung windows
demonstrate multifocal ground-glass nodular opacities dependently throughout
the left lung and to a lesser extent, the right lung. The pulmonary artery is
prominent, measuring 3.8 cm and there is septal thickening, compatible with
mild pulmonary edema.
CTA THORAX: The aorta and main thoracic vessels are well opacified. The
aorta is of 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.
CT ABDOMEN: This study is acquired in a relatively arterial phase, possibly
secondary to decreased cardiac output. There is periportal edema in an
otherwise unremarkable liver without focal lesions. The gallbladder is
unremarkable; however, there is pericholecystic fluid, likely due to volume
status. The spleen, pancreas, and adrenal glands are unremarkable. The
kidneys enhance symmetrically without focal lesions or hydronephrosis. The
ureters are normal throughout their visualized course.
The stomach is unremarkable. There are collapsed loops of small and large
bowel without evidence of wall thickening or obstruction. The appendix is not
visualized; however, there are no secondary signs of appendicitis. There is
mild mesenteric edema, trace free fluid about the abdomen and pelvis, and mild
generalized soft tissue edema likely related to fluid status.
The intra-abdominal vasculature is unremarkable except for atherosclerotic
calcifications, which are most prominent in the pelvis. There is no
retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There is no free air.
PELVIC CT: The urinary bladder appears unremarkable. There is no pelvic wall
or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is a small amount of free fluid.
Phleboliths are scattered throughout the pelvis.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There are no concerning blastic or lytic lesions.
IMPRESSION:
1. Multifocal ground-glass and nodular opacities in the left greater than
right lung possibly infectious. Nodular components are likely related to
acute etiology; however, reimaging in three to six months after resolution of
acute illness is recommended.
2. Cardiomegaly and mild pulmonary edema.
3. Periportal edema, pericholecystic fluid, trace free fluid about the
pelvis, mild mesenteric edema and generalized soft tissue edema likely related
to fluid status.
4. No evidence of colitis or pancreatitis.
5. No evidence of pulmonary embolism.

pulmonary edema is identified.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ year old man with ESRD, severe HTN needs to be ruled out for
secondary causes, rule out renal artery stenosis.
COMPARISON: CT ___
TECHNIQUE: Gray scale and Doppler ultrasound images of the renal transplant
were obtained.
FINDINGS:
Bilateral kidneys are echogenic, this is more pronounced on the right than the
left. The right kidney measures 8.8 cm. The left kidney measures 8.8 cm.
The resistive index of the right intrarenal arteries ranges from 0.75 to 0.63,
within normal limits. The acceleration times and peak systolic velocities of
the main renal arteries are normal.
Assessment of the left intrarenal arteries is more limited. The resistive
indices range from the 0.8-0.7. The acceleration times and peak systolic
velocities of the main renal arteries are normal. The renal vein is patent
and shows normal waveforms.
Bilaterally the cortical thickness appears normal. The renal sinus fat
appears normal. There is no hydronephrosis. There is no perinephric fluid
collection.
IMPRESSION:
The kidneys are bilaterally echogenic consistent with medical renal disease.
Normal waveforms are seen within the intrarenal arteries with normal resistive
indices. There is no evidence of renal artery stenosis.

Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a ___ year old male with successfully treated HCV
infection, and chronic back pain with prior neurostimulator
trial who presented to the ED with one week of lightheadedness
and fatigue. He says his symptoms started 7 days ago and
progressively worsened. He felt presyncopal, but never had a
syncopal event. However, he did go over to his friends house > 7
week ago and passed out in front of the computer for 1 hour, and
had to be awoken by his friend at that time. He has felt very
tired, has been sleeping more than usual. He has had a poor
appetite for food since ___, and has lost 20 lbs in that
time. He has felt some chest tightness which is worse with
inspiration, no radiation, not associated with exertion. + some
dry cough x 1 week. He has also lost his taste for cigarrettes
and stopped smoking them as he usually dose. However, says his
sense of taste is intact. Denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. +
constipation since he ran out of his senna (no BM x 6 days).
Denies sore throat, runny nose. He has noted some b/l calf pain,
but no swelling or redness. He has back pain at baseline which
has not gotten worse. No black stool, no dysuria, no sick
contacts. Denies feeling down or blue.
He seen for regular followup in Liver Clinic yesterday, where he
noted the above symptoms, and his hepatologist was concerned for
infection. Basic labs were sent, which notably showed a 10
point Hct drop since ___, as well as new hyponatremia with
Na 130 from a normal prior baseline 140-142.
Initial vitals in ED triage were T 99.8, HR 108, BP 106/62, RR
18, and SpO2 98% on RA. Rectal exam was guaic negative. His
urine was noted to be red tinged, but UA negative for blood.
Labs were notable for an additional Hct drop from ___ yesterday
to 30.7 today. Coags showed an elevated INR 1.6 and normal
D-dimer 289. His LFTs were fairly unremarkable.
CXR showed no acute process and EKG showed sinus rhythm at 99
bpm with NA/NI and no acute ST-T changes. He was given normal
saline 1000 ml. His PCP was contacted, who agreed with
admission.
He was admitted to medicine for further management of acute
anemia. Vitals prior to floor transfer were T 98.3, HR 90, BP
112/64, RR 20, and SpO2 98% on RA. On reaching the floor, he

COMPARISON: CTA of the head and neck from ___, 4 hours prior.
Noncontrast CT head from ___.
FINDINGS:
Noncontrast CT head:
No evidence of acute large territory infarction, intracranial hemorrhage, mass
or edema.
There are confluent hypodensities within the subcortical and periventricular
white matter nonspecific but likely sequela of prior small vessel ischemic
changes.
There is prominence of the ventricles and sulci which are likely due to
age-related involutional changes.
Atherosclerotic changes are seen along both carotid siphons.
There is mild mucosal thickening of the ethmoid sinuses. The other paranasal
sinuses, and middle ear are well pneumatized. The bilateral mastoid air cells
are partially opacified. The patient is status post bilateral lens replacement
surgery, otherwise the orbits are unremarkable.
CTA head:
There are atherosclerotic changes along both carotid siphons without
high-grade stenosis.
The anterior circulation is otherwise unremarkable.
There is abrupt cutoff of the P3 segment of the left PCA, which may be due to
atherosclerotic disease (series 603, image 23).
There is mild stenosis of the distal P1 (series 603, image 23) and distal P3
segments (series 601, image 56). There is a right fetal type PCA, normal
anatomic variant. The posterior circulation is otherwise unremarkable.
There is no evidence of intracranial dissection, high-grade stenosis,
occlusion or aneurysm formation greater than 3 mm.
CTA neck:
Normal 3 vessel aortic arch. There is calcified atherosclerosis of the right
internal carotid artery resulting in 40% narrowing by NASCET criteria. The
left carotid bifurcation is unremarkable.
The left vertebral artery is hypoplastic. The right vertebral artery is
dominant, normal anatomic variant. No evidence of narrowing of the bilateral
vertebral arteries along their cervical course.
Other:
There is diffuse interlobular septal thickening which may suggest fluid
overload. There is a well corticated mildly displaced defect of the sternum
which may represent a chronic fracture. The thyroid is unremarkable. No
evidence of supraclavicular or axillary lymphadenopathy.
IMPRESSION:
1. No significant intracranial abnormality. No evidence of acute infarction,
hemorrhage or intracranial mass.
2. Confluent periventricular hypodensities are nonspecific but suggestive of
chronic small vessel ischemic changes.
3. 40% focal narrowing of the proximal right internal carotid artery by NASCET
criteria.
4. Mild stenoses along the left PCA without evidence of vessel occlusion.
5. Otherwise patent cervical and intracranial vasculature without evidence of
dissection, high-grade stenosis, occlusion or aneurysm formation greater than
3 mm.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ with altered mental status. Had possible seizure, concerned
for aspiration.// Altered mental status
TECHNIQUE: Three portable views the chest.
COMPARISON: Chest x-ray from ___ at 11:11.
FINDINGS:
Compared to exam from earlier the same day, there has been no significant
interval change. Retrocardiac region is not as well assessed on the current
exam likely due to atelectasis in the setting of a supine AP portable chest
radiograph. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. Median sternotomy wires
and left chest wall loop cardiac monitor noted. Severe degenerative changes
noted at the right shoulder.
IMPRESSION:
Retrocardiac region not as clearly delineated on the current exam though this
is more likely technical and due to atelectasis on this supine radiograph,
underlying aspiration is difficult to entirely exclude. If patient is
amenable, consider repeat with PA and lateral view.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD
INDICATION: ___ with prior strokes p/w episode c/f seizure vs stroke/TIA.//

TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted imaging was performed. Axial imaging was
performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T2 technique were then
obtained.
COMPARISON MRI of the head from ___ and CTA of the head and neck
from ___
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, masses, mass effect, midline shift
or infarction.
There are extensive confluent T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in the cerebral
hemispheres bilaterally, a nonspecific finding but slightly worse from ___ and likely related to chronic small vessel ischemic changes.
There is diffuse generalized parenchymal volume loss, most likely age related
and similar to ___. Prominence of the ventricular system and extra-axial CSF
spaces appears similar to prior and is consistent with the previously
mentioned parenchymal volume loss.
There are unchanged small old infarcts in the bilateral cerebellar
hemispheres. Punctate foci of susceptibility artifact are again identified in
the pons, bilateral occipital lobes, in the right thalamus, left putamen,
bilateral frontal lobes and left parietal lobe, consistent with
microhemorrhages.
There is mild mucosal thickening along the ethmoid air cells. There is
partial opacification of the right mastoid air cells. Note is made of
bilateral lens replacement surgery. The orbits appear otherwise unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of acute infarction, hemorrhage or intracranial mass.
2. Slightly progressed extensive white matter changes in the cerebral
hemispheres bilaterally, likely sequela of severe chronic small vessel
ischemic changes.

with new onset dark stools and ongoing falls.
Pt. had been in his usual state of health until several months
prior when pt. notes onset of malaise, decreased appetite
(eating ___ meals / day), intentional weight loss, and chronic
diarrhea. Work-up revealed elastase deficiency and elevated
lipase. Pt. has since had imaging which has revealed possible
pancreatic structural abnormality. Pt. underwent an EUS
(___) which revealed 1.7 cm oblong cystic dilation of a
sidebranch in the head of the panceas, subtle 0.39x0.28cm
hypoechoic region seen in body of the pancreas (possibly IPMN),
very mild duodenitis, and Brunner gland hyperplasia. Path was
non-diagnostic.
Pt. notes having several episode of falls over the last ___
weeks. He denies any type of tripping episodes and believes
that he is falling ___ acute onset ___ weakness. He also reports
intermittently associated lightheadedness, but denies dizziness
or changes in vision. He was worked up within the last month
and diagnosed with a new lumbar compression fracture. He was
started on etodolac and alleve for his back pain 1 week prior to
presentation.
In regards to dark stools, pt. reports approximate 1 week
history of pasty dark black stools. In this time period, he
also notes several episodes of coffee-ground emesis but denies
any nausea, diarrhea, or worsening of his intermittent
periumbilical abdominal pain (chronic for years). He does
endorse constipation at this time. Prior to this, pt. reports
___ episodes of yearly BRBPR which had been attributed to
hemorrhoidal bleeding. He denies any prior episodes of melena.
In the ED, vitals were. He was found to have giuaiac + stool
that appeared dark brown/black. Labs were notable for Hgb 8.7
(stable from outpt labs) and WBC 12.4. A CTA abdomen (prelim)
did not show any evidence of bleeding or acute changes. GI was
consulted who recommended making NPO for EGD in morning.

Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH PERFORMED ON ___
COMPARISON: None.
CLINICAL HISTORY: Diverticulosis, now with GI bleed and low blood pressure.
Assess for acute intrathoracic process.
FINDINGS: AP portable supine view of the chest was provided. There is
irregular opacity at the left lung base which could represent a very early
pneumonia versus atelectasis/scarring. The lungs appear lucent in the upper
lobes, likely reflecting emphysema. Cardiomediastinal silhouette appears
normal. Bony structures are intact. No free air below the right
hemidiaphragm.
IMPRESSION: Subtle reticular opacities in the left lower lung likely
represent scarring/atelectasis, though pneumonia is not excluded. Probable
underlying emphysema.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ man with history of diverticulosis, now with GI
bleed, low blood pressure, evaluate for active bleed.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial multidetector CT images were obtained prior to
contrast administration and during arterial and venous phases as per
mesenteric CTA protocol. Coronal and sagittal reformats were obtained.
DLP: 1401 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
CT ANGIOGRAM: Abdominal aorta demonstrates moderate atherosclerotic
calcifications and mild aneurysmal dilatation measuring up to 3.5 cm along the
infrarenal portion. The celiac axis is patent. The hepatic arterial anatomy
demonstrates a replaced left hepatic artery from the left gastric. The right
lobe of the liver is supplied by the common hepatic artery off the celiac
trunk which also supplies segment IV of the liver. The superior mesenteric
artery is patent. Calcifications are noted at the ostia of the renal arteries
which remain patent. The inferior mesenteric artery is small but patent.
There is also ectasia of the common iliac artery measuring up to 1.6 cm on the
right and 1.3 cm on the left.
CT ABDOMEN:
Partially imaged lungs demonstrate interlobular septal thickening and
peripheral areas of fibrosis and traction bronchiectasis, consistent with
advanced interstitial lung disease. There are also scattered areas of
bronchial mucoid impaction. The heart is normal size, atherosclerotic
calcifications are noted.
The liver enhances homogeneously, but demonstrates numerous scattered
well-defined hypodensities, the larger ones compatible with simple cysts,
others too small to characterize. The spleen, pancreas, gallbladder and
adrenal glands are unremarkable. Kidneys enhance and excrete symmetrically
and demonstrate multiple scattered hypodensities bilaterally, larger ones
compatible with simple cysts, others too small to characterize.
The stomach and fluid-filled loops of small bowel are normal in course and
caliber. There is no obstruction. Colon is notable for extensive
diverticulosis without diverticulitis. Appendix is visualized and is normal.
There is no active extravasation of intravenous contrast into the small or
large bowel during the arterial phase and no pooling of contrast in the bowel
during the venous phase to suggest an active GI bleed.
There is no mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. There is no
intra-abdominal free air or fluid.
CT PELVIS:
Distended bladder, seminal vesicles and prostate gland are within normal
limits. There is no pelvic free fluid or adenopathy.
Note is made of an age-indeterminate compression deformity of the T12
vertebral body with greater than 50% loss of height and mild retropulsion
resulting in mild canal narrowing.
IMPRESSION:
1. No CT evidence of active GI bleed.
2. Calcified atherosclerotic disease throughout the abdominal aorta without
hemodynamically significant narrowing of the celiac trunk, SMA, renal arteries
and ___.
3. Mild aneurysmal dilatation of the infrarenal aorta measuring up to 3.6 cm

FINDINGS: Supine and upright views og the abdomen were provided. There is a
relative paucity of small bowel gas. Given this, evaluation for SBO is
limited. A small amount of air and stool is seen within the distal bowel
projecting over the pelvis. No pneumatosis or pneumoperitoneum.
IMPRESSION: Paucity of small bowel gas without definite evidence for
obstruction. Given the symptoms of obstipation and leukocytosis, CT may be
performed to further evaluate.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: UC status post total proctocolectomy with IP a in ___.
Status post multiple EUAs. Now presenting with abdominal pain obstipation
nausea and leukocytosis. Please evaluate for ileus or obstruction.
COMPARISON: CT dated ___.
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT of the abdomen and pelvis was performed after the
uneventful intravenous administration of 130 cc of Omnipaque. The patient
also raised received enteric contrast material. Coronal sagittal reformats
were provided.
DLP: 871.5 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
ABDOMEN:
The proximal and mid small bowel is dilated down to the level of a small bowel
anastomosis within the right iliac fossa (301b:27) - this likely represents
the site of previous reversed ileostomy. There is a distinct zone of
transition at this point between dilated and non-dilated small bowel. There
is mild fat stranding surrounding the anastomosis (2:54). Immediately
proximal to the anastomosis, there is extensive small bowel feces and the
small bowel at this point measures up to 4 cm in diameter (2:59 and 300b:25).
The ileum distal to the small bowel anastomosis is completely decompressed up
to the ileoanal pouch anastomosis in the pelvis. There is residual feces
within the ileoanal pouch. The small bowel mesentery appears slightly hazy
(2:44).
There is a small amount of free fluid within the abdomen and pelvis. No free
air. An NG tube is identified with its tip in the antrum of the stomach.
There is a subcentimeter low attenuation lesion within the left lobe of the
liver which is too small to further characterize but likely represents a small
cyst (2:19). There is hypoenhancement within segment IV of the liver adjacent
to the falciform ligament consistent with a perfusion anomaly. There is also

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CHEST (SINGLE VIEW)
INDICATION: History: ___ with AMS from rehab on lovenox for recent hip ORIF.
// infection? infiltrate? bleed? Left hip hardware in place?
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
PROBABLE hyperinflation, consistent with copd. There is mild cardiomegaly,
with a left ventricular configuration. There are increased interstitial
markings, which may reflect background chronic parenchymal changes. There is
patchy retrocardiac opacity, consistent with left lower lobe collapse and/or
consolidation. Additional opacity at the left base could reflect either a
hiatal hernia or increased density related to the descending aorta. There is
minimal blunting of the costophrenic angles without gross effusion. Moderate
right convex scoliosis is present.
IMPRESSION:
1. Cardiomegaly and background COPD.
2. Suspected left lower lobe collapse and/or consolidation. If clinically
indicated, lateral view may help to further evaluate this.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: HIP UNILAT MIN 2 VIEWS LEFT
INDICATION: History: ___ with AMS from rehab on ___ for recent hip ORIF.
// infection? infiltrate? bleed? Left hip hardware in place?
TECHNIQUE: AP view of pelvis an AP view of the left femur. No lateral view of
the hip or femur.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
The patient is status post ORIF of an intertrochanteric fracture transfixed by
gamma nail of along the IM rod. Overall alignment is anatomic on the frontal
views. The fracture line remains visible. A slightly distracted and probably
comminuted lesser trochanteric fracture fragment is noted. No new superimposed
fracture is detected. No hardware loosening or failure is detected. The distal
most portion of the IM rod and femur excluded from these films. The
possibility of some punctate subcutaneous emphysema in the region of the
fixation site cannot be excluded. There are overlying skin staples.
The pelvic girdle is grossly congruent, without SI joint or pubic symphysis
diastasis. The sacrum is obscured by overlying bowel gas. Allowing for this,
no acute fracture is detected about the pelvic girdle. Limited assessment of
the right hip and proximal femur shows mild degenerative changes. At the
periphery of these films, advanced degenerative changes in lower lumbar spine.
, with mild left-sided wedging of the presumptive L4 and L5 vertebral bodies
noted, likely chronic.
Scattered vascular calcification noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. Status post ORIF left intertrochanteric fracture, in overall anatomic
alignment on the available AP views. No hardware displacement identified.
2. Scattered subcutaneous emphysema is compatible with recent surgery, but
clinical correlation is requested for full assessment.
3. No new superimposed fracture is identified.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with altered mental status from rehab, on lovenox for recent
hip ORIF, evaluate for acute intracranial process.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without
contrast. Some of the images were repeated due to motion artifact. Coronal
and sagittal as well as thin bone-algorithm reconstructed images were
obtained.
DOSE: DLP: 1226 mGy-cm
CTDI: 102 mGy
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of acute hemorrhage, edema, or loss of gray/ white matter
differentiation. A 11 x 8 mm extra-axial left parietal calcified lesion, with
mild adjacent hyperostosis, which displaces the adjacent parenchyma without
parenchymal edema, is likely a meningioma. A small chronic infarct is noted
in the right cerebellar hemisphere. There is another probable small chronic
infarct in the subcortical white matter of the left insula, image ___ Foci
of low density in the periventricular, deep, and subcortical white matter of
the cerebral hemispheres are likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic
disease in a patient of this age. There is age-related cerebral atrophy with
associated prominence of the ventricles and sulci.
The bones are demineralized without evidence for a fracture. Visualized
paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence for acute intracranial abnormalities.
2. 11 mm calcified extra-axial left parietal mass with mild adjacent
hyperostosis, which displaces the adjacent parenchyma without parenchymal
edema, consistent with a meningioma.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: UNILAT LOWER EXT VEINS LEFT
INDICATION: ___ with leg swelling, recent orif L hip, evaluate for DVT
TECHNIQUE: Grey scale, color, and spectral Doppler evaluation was performed
on the left lower extremity veins.
COMPARISON: None available.
FINDINGS:
Please note that this study was extremely limited secondary to lack of patient
cooperation. Assessment of the right lower extremity was not able to be
performed per protocol.
There is normal compressibility, flow and augmentation of the left common
femoral and superficial femoral veins. The popliteal vein was not visualized
due to technique.
There is an occlusive, noncompressible thrombus expanding one of the posterior
tibial veins. The left peroneal veins show normal blood flow and
compressibility.
No evidence of medial popliteal fossa (___) cyst.
IMPRESSION:
Acute occlusive DVT involving one of the left posterior tibial veins. The
right lower extremity and left popliteal veins were not visualized due to lack
of patient cooperation.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: BILAT HIPS (AP,LAT AND AP PELVIS)
INDICATION: ___ Hx dementia, TIA, left hip fracture s/p ORIF on ___,
found to have LLE DVT on lovenox, had fall last night, no headstrike. //
Please assess for new hip/pevis fractures
TECHNIQUE: AP pelvis and. Right hip two views. Left hip and femur two views.
COMPARISON: Femur radiographs from ___ at 10:33.
FINDINGS:
There is diffuse osteopenia. The patient is status post ORIF of a left
intertrochanteric fracture transfixed by gamma nail and long IM rod. A
distracted lesser tuberosity fragment is again seen, similar prior. No new
left femur fracture and no evidence of left hip/ femur hardware loosening or
failure is detected. Overlying skin staples noted. The left hip remains
congruent, with mild degenerative changes again noted. Degenerative changes of
the left knee are noted. Probable soft tissue swelling about the hip.
On the right, there are mild degenerative changes of the right hip. No acute
fracture or dislocation is detected involving the right hip. The distal
portion of the right femur is not included on these views.
The pelvic girdle is congruent, without SI joint or pubic symphysis diastasis.
No displaced fracture is identified about the pelvis The sacrum is partially
obscured by overlying bowel gas, but no obvious sacral fracture is suggested.
Limited assessment of the lower lumbar spine shows severe degenerative
changes. Vascular calcification noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. Osteopenia.
2. Status post ORIF left intertrochanteric fracture. The fracture site and
hardware appear unchanged.
3. No new fracture detected about the left hip or femur about the right hip.
No displaced fractures seen about the pelvic girdle.

You underwent upper endoscopy (EGD), which showed multiple
duodenal ulcers, including one with active bleeding. The
bleeding blood vessel was injected with medication and 2 metal
clips were placed to stop bleeding. After the procedure, your
blood pressure was low and you briefly required IV medications
to increase your blood pressrue. You then stabilized and you
were transferred to the general medical floor. Your use of
dexamethasone to treat your multiple myeloma is felt to be the
likely cause of your ulcer disease. After discussion with your
outpatient Hematology-Oncology team, we have decided to STOP the
dexamethasone. Since you will be off dexamethasone, you may
also STOP Bactrim. You will follow-up with your

COMPARISON: Outside ultrasound from ___ dated ___
TECHNIQUE: Transabdominal and transvaginal scans of the pelvis
were obtained. Transvaginal scan was performed to better assess
the endometrial contents and the adnexae.
FINDINGS:
The uterus measures 6.7x2.9x4.3 cm. The endometrium measures 9
mm.
There is no visualized intrauterine pregnancy. Inferior and
medial within the right ovary, there is a 1.6 x 2.1 x 1.7 cm
hyperechoic rounded lesion. This could represent a dermoid.
The left adnexa appears complex and heterogenous. When compared
to the prior ultrasound, there is new heterogenous echogenic
material within the left adnexa adjacent to the ovary that is
worrisome for a left sided ectopic. The margins of the
structures within the left adnexa are ill-defined and cannot be
measured accurately.
There is a moderate amount of complex free fluid demonstrated
within the
pelvis. There appears increased when compared to prior
ultrasound.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Rectal pain with presacral fluid collection status post drainage
with history proctosigmoidectomy. Assess fluid collection.
TECHNIQUE: CT images were obtained from the lung bases to the pubic symphysis
following the uneventful intravenous administration of Omnipaque contrast
medium. Multiplanar reformations were prepared.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS:
CT ABDOMEN WITH CONTRAST: The imaged lung bases reveal bibasilar atelectasis
without pleural or pericardial effusion. The liver is normal attenuation
without focal lesion, intra or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. The
portal and hepatic veins are patent. The gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and
bilateral adrenal glands are unremarkable. The kidneys enhance and excrete
contrast symmetrically without hydronephrosis.
The patient is status post proctosigmoidectomy with postsurgical changes
noted. Stranding in the omentum anteriorly is consistent with evolving
postsurgical omental infarct/fat necrosis. The small and proximal large bowel
are unremarkable with a diverting ileostomy with unchanged parastomal fat
herniation. Small bowel is largely decompressed. No free air is seen in the
abdomen. The aorta and major branches are patent and normal in caliber with
mild atherosclerotic vascular calcifications. No mesenteric or
retroperitoneal pathologic lymph node enlargement is identified with scattered
nonenlarged lymph nodes noted.
CT PELVIS WITH CONTRAST: The pigtail catheter is seen within a 4.4 x 1.9 x
4.3 cm presacral fluid collection slightly decreased in size from the previous
(pre-drainage) examination where it measured 4.8 x 2.4 x 5.2 cm. The proposed
communication with the neorectum is not as well depicted on the current
examination nor is the hypo enhancement of the anastomosis. The pigtail
catheter is somewhat asymmetrically located in the right side of the
collection, abutting the right lateral wall. The bladder and prostate are
unremarkable aside from central prostatic calcifications. Vas deferens
calcifications suggest diabetes. There is no pelvic or inguinal adenopathy.
OSSEOUS AND SOFT TISSUE STRUCTURES: Bilateral sacroiliac degenerative changes
are seen. Otherwise, there is no suspicious bony lesion with mild L5-S1
degenerative changes.
IMPRESSION: Slight interval decrease in 4.4 x 1.9 cm (from pre-drainage
evaluation) presacral fluid collection with pigtail catheter in situ, which
abuts the right lateral wall of the collection. The communication between the
neorectum and the collection and anastomotic hypoenhancement are not as well
depicted on this examination. No new collection or other acute process is
identified.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Preoperative chest evaluation prior to pelvic washout.
COMPARISON: Chest radiographs dated ___ and ___.
TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral radiographs of the chest.
FINDINGS: A left subclavian approach Port-A-Cath is unchanged in position
with the tip terminating over the low SVC. The cardiomediastinal and hilar
contours are within normal limits. The trachea is midline. The lungs are
symmetrically well expanded and clear without focal consolidation, pleural
effusion or pneumothorax. The pulmonary vasculature is not engorged and there
is no overt pulmonary edema.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Unwitnessed fall from standing, on Pradaxa and aspirin.
COMPARISON: Non-contrast head ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained of the head without
contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images were generated in the coronal and
sagittal planes as well as thin section bone algorithm images.
DLP: 1153.93 mGy-cm.
CTDIvol: 61.92 mGy.
FINDINGS: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or acute
infarction. Left frontal encephalomalacia in the left anterior cerebral
artery distribution from prior infarct is unchanged. Prominent ventricles and
sulci are suggestive of age-related involutional change. Mild periventricular
white matter hypodensity is compatible with chronic small vessel ischemic
disease. The basal cisterns are patent, and there is preservation of
gray-white matter differentiation. The globes are unremarkable. Dense
atherosclerotic calcifications are noted within the carotid siphons. No
fracture is identified. Mild mucosal wall thickening is noted in bilateral
maxillary sinuses and anterior ethmoid air cells. The middle ear cavities and
mastoid air cells are clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial abnormality.
2. Stable encephalomalacia in the left frontal lobe from prior infarct.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Unwitnessed fall from standing on Pradaxa and aspirin.
COMPARISON: CTA neck ___.
TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained of the cervical spine
without contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images were generated in the
coronal and sagittal planes.
DLP: 778.28 mGy-cm.
CTDIvol: 32.64 mGy.
FINDINGS: The cervical vertebral body heights and alignment are well
maintained without evidence of fracture or spondylolisthesis. The
prevertebral soft tissue is unremarkable. There are moderate multilevel
degenerative changes of the cervical spine with disc space narrowing, most
prominent at C5/C6 and C6/C7. There are multiple prominent anterior and
posterior osteophytes.
CT resolution of the thecal sac is limited.
At C2-3 there is a disk bulge that flattens the surface of the spinal cord.
At C3-4 there is a disk bulge that flattens the surface of the spinal cord.
Uncovertebral osteophytes severely narrow the neural foramina bilaterally.
At C4-5 there is are intervertebral osteophytes that flattens the surface of
the spinal cord. The left neural foramen is severly narrowed by uncovertebral

level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
It was a pleasure caring for you during your recent admission at
___.
You were brought to the hospital due to a fall in your house.
Since you had hit your head we had to make sure you didn't have
any bleeding in your brain and that you did not have any
fractures in your neck. Also, given your long history of heart
diseases we verified that your pacemaker is working well, your
heart is beating normally and you have no new heart attack. We
finally concluded that your fall was likely due to a drop in
your blood pressure after a change in position. Two things may
have contributed to this: 1)A poor fluid intake by mouth 2)using
your prostate medicine tamsulosin which has this side effect. We
stopped your prostate medicine and you should readdress whether
the benefit of continuing this medication outweighs the risks it
carries once you see your primary care physician.
Also, we found that your left knee was markedly swollen and
tender and aspirated some fluid from it. You were found to have
a type of arthritis called pseudogout for which we gave you some
medicine to decrease this inflammation. Make sure to follow-up
with the Rheumatologist to continue treating this arthritis.
Our physical therapy consultants considered you need a good
amount of physical therapy so you can go back safely to your
daily activities, so you will going to a rehabilitation facility
before going home. |

MEDICATIONS: Please refer to the anesthesia record.
CONTRAST: 30 ml of Optiray contrast.
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 20:41 min, 6 mGy
PROCEDURE:
1. Left upper extremity AV graft fistulogram.
2. Axillary and subclavian venography.
3. Chemical and mechanical thrombolysis of the thrombosed graft and outflow
vein using injected tPA and the Penumbra device.
4. Balloon angioplasty of the intragraft and outflow vein stenoses.
5. ___ balloon pull through of the arterial inflow.
PROCEDURE DETAILS:
Written informed consent was obtained from the patient outlining the risks,
benefits and alternatives to the procedure. The patient was then brought to
the angiography suite and placed supine on the image table with the left upper
extremity abducted and stabilized.
Clinical examination demonstrated a palpable, but completely thrombosed graft
in the left upper extremity. Further evaluation by targeted ultrasound
demonstrated a completely thrombosed graft extending into the outflow vein.
The left upper extremity was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
A preprocedure timeout and huddle was performed as per ___ protocol.
Using ultrasound and fluoroscopy, the arterial inflow and outflow stent levels
were identified and the skin was marked with a skin marker. Antegrade
(directed towards the venous outflow) access into the thrombosed graft was
obtained under continuous ultrasound guidance using a 21G micropuncture
needle. An 0.018 wire was then advanced easily into the outflow vein under
fluoroscopic guidance. A 4.5F micropuncture sheath was advanced and used to
exchange for an 0.035 Glidewire. The glide wire was advance to the level of
the subclavian vein. An 8 ___ sheath was placed over the wire. A ___ Kumpe
catheter was then advanced over the wire and slowly withdrawn while injecting
dilute contrast to establish the distal extent of thrombus into the outflow
vein. Tissue plasminogen activator was administered along the entire length of
the thrombosed graft and outflow vein through the Kumpe catheter. A total of 5
mg was infused. The tPA was allowed to dwell for approximately 10 minutes.
During dwell time, retrograde access directed towards the arterial inflow was
then obtained in a similar fashion using continuous ultrasound and
intermittent fluoroscopic guidance. Micropuncture set was exchanged over an
0.035 Glidewire that was directed into the inflow brachial artery for a short
___ vascular sheath. At this point 3000 IU of heparin was administered
systemically.
The Penumbra device was then turned on and mechanical thrombectomy was
performed from the antegrade approach however was unable to successfully
aspirate within the venous outflow stent due to stent collapse during
suctioning. Therefore gentle balloon maceration was performed with a 9mm
Conquest throughout the graft. In areas of tight stenosis at the venous
anastomosis and end-stent of the venous outflow, angioplasty was performed for
a prolonged period. A 5.5 ___ ___ balloon was then advanced through
the antegrade access and along the entire length of the graft and outflow
vein. The ___ balloon was also advanced beyond the arterial anastomosis,
partially inflated and pullback was performed through the arterial anastomosis
into the graft. This resulted in restoration of flow and a faint thrill in the
graft. Fistulogram was performed which demonstrated return of brisk flow
through the graft with evidence of stenosis in the arterial limb of the graft
with small residual clot in the venous outflow. ___ sweep was then
performed over the wire of the venous outflow. Subsequently, angioplasty was
performed of the arterial limb using an 8-mm Conquest balloon. A completion
fistulogram was performed from the proximal brachial artery demonstrating
brisk flow throughout the entire graft with no residual stenosis. Clinical
examination revealed a satisfactory thrill along the length of the graft.
The sheaths were removed and hemostasis was achieved with two ___ Ethilon
pursestring sutures. There were no immediate complications.
FINDINGS:
1. Complete thrombosis of the left upper extremity AV graft to the level of
the outflow vein.
2. Venous anastomosis and venous outflow end stent stenosis with improvement
following angioplasty to 9 mm. Arterial limb graft stenosis with improvement
following angioplasty to 8 mm.
3. Satisfactory appearance of the arterial anastomosis. No central venous
stenosis.
IMPRESSION:
Satisfactory restoration of flow following chemical and mechanical
thrombolysis with a good angiographic and clinical result.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is an ___ woman with a history of recent
hemorrhagic stroke 1 month ago, HTN, HLD, and T2DM, now residing
at a nursing facility, who presented with respiratory distress.
At her nursing home, the patient was found to have wheezes
bilaterally. She was given DuoNebs and had improvement. She
recently was found to have DVT at the nursing facility, so was
started on twice daily Lovenox. At the outside hospital today,
the patient was found to have pulmonary emboli. CT head showed
subacute cerebellar hematoma. She was transferred to ___ for
further management at her family's request.
The patient was unable to participate in any of the history in
the ED. Per the patient's daughter who is present, she will
usually make eye contact and can speak to a certain extent,
although she has been more sleepy lately. She reports that
beginning on ___, the patient developed a progressively
worsening cough and became more fatigued. This continued until
the day of admission.
In the ED:
Initial vital signs were notable for: T 98.6, HR 75, BP 135/90,
RR 28, O2 sat 93% on 2L NC
Exam notable for: Exam is remarkable for an agitated elderly
appearing Asian woman, she moves all extremities, there is some
expiratory wheezing audible externally, lungs are overall
generally clear to auscultation there is a PEG tube in place
abdomen is soft and nontender.
Labs were notable for: Hgb 7.8, BNP 1495, UA with large leuks,
19
WBCs, few bacteria
Studies performed include: CT head there is a hematoma within
the right cerebellar hemisphere measuring up to 3.0 ×2.5 cm
which is an appearance compatible with subacute blood products.
This should be correlated with prior imaging. This hematoma
mildly effaces the fourth ventricle there is no additional site
of hemorrhage or ___. Additional findings prior
bilateral lens replacements moderate global cerebral volume
loss. Mild
chronic microvascular ischemic white matter disease.
Mineralization along the falx CT PE. Possible filling defect
within a left upper lobe pulmonary
branch near a branch point between segmental and subsegmental
vessel this scan is degraded by motion and this could
potentially represent a pulmonary embolism or artifact. There is
an additional suspected filling defect within the adjacent left
upper lobe segmental branch these findings are favored to
represent pulmonary emboli over artifact a repeat study could be
considered for confirmation small bilateral pleural effusions
with adjacent atelectasis additional findings; heterogeneous
thyroid gland. Aortic calcifications. Coronary artery
calcifications. Partially visualized gastrostomy tube. Multiple
old ___ rib fractures. Thoracic spine degenerative
changes
Patient was given: IV Haloperidol 1 mg x2, Albuterol 0.083% Neb
Soln, Omeprazole 20 mg, Senna 8.6 mg, Acetaminophen IV 1000 mg,
SC Enoxaparin Sodium 60 mg, IV CefTRIAXone 1g, LR at 125cc/hr

History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___, left-handed man who in ___
began to have episodes of sudden confusion and was found to have
cerebral amyloid angiopathy (biopsy proven) with marked
improvement after being treated with a steroid taper (four days
of 1 g Solu-Medrol followed by prednisone oral taper 40mg x2w,
30mg x2w, 20mgx2w, currently on 10mgx2w). Approximately two
weeks
ago (when he decreased from 20mg daily to 10mg daily), he
developed intense unilateral pain on his right flank which
wrapped around his back. He went to his PCP who prescribed
___ for concern of a developing shingles outbreak but told
him to wait on taking the medication until he developed a rash.
He never developed the rash but his pain quickly extended around
the body to the left side to uniformly include his chest and
back
from just below the collar bones around the top of the shoulder
blades down to the fold of the groin around to just above the
gluteal fold and buttocks. It has now become uncomfortable for
him to even wear a shirt or lightly touch the area. He feels as
if the skin on his truck has a terrible sunburn although he
denies any skin changes or rash. He denies any recent sick
exposures or insect bites. He has not been in the wilderness
lately. He has had several months of daily frontal headaches
since his hospitalization in ___ and takes ~3g of Tylenol for
this pain which he is now taking to also help the burning
sensation on his trunk. He has been previously been diagnosed
with a synovial cyst at L4-5 level which causes him pain on
movement and ambulation but he is not interested in any
intervention at this time. His wife called his outpatient
Neurologist, Dr ___ recommended evaluation in the ED.
Neurology was consulted for workup and management
recommendations.
On neuro ROS, (+) hyperesthesia of the trunk, (+) chronic

performed. After the uneventful administration of 10 mL of Gadavist contrast
agent, additional axial and sagittal T1 images were obtained.
COMPARISON: MRI T and L-spine from ___.
MRI head from ___.
FINDINGS:
CERVICAL:
Vertebral body alignment is preserved. Vertebral body heights are preserved.
In the left anterior C6 vertebral body is an area demonstrate hyperintense T2
and FLAIR signal corresponding to heterogeneous signal intensity on T1
precontrast sequence which enhances (06:10, 15:10). No other areas of
abnormal marrow signal are seen in cervical spine. No other enhancing lesions
are identified. The visualized portion of the spinal cord is preserved in
signal and caliber.
Degenerative loss of disc height at C4-C5 and C5-C6 is mild.
There is no prevertebral soft tissue swelling..
The visualized portion of the posterior fossa and cervicomedullary junctionare
unremarkable.
At C2-3 there is uncovertebral hypertrophy and facet arthropathy causing
moderate right neuroforaminal narrowing but no vertebral canal or left neural
foraminal narrowing.
At C3-4 there is a disc bulge, uncovertebral hypertrophy and facet
arthropathy, causing mild vertebral canal narrowing which indents the thecal
sac but does not flatten the cord and moderate to severe bilateral neural
foraminal narrowing.
At C4-5 there is a disc bulge and facet arthropathy causing mild vertebral
canal narrowing, which indents the thecal sac but does not flatten the cord,
and moderate to severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
At C5-6 there is a disc bulge and facet arthropathy causing mild vertebral
canal narrowing, which indents the thecal sac but does not flatten the cord,
and moderate bilateral
At C6-7 and C7-T1, there is no vertebral canal or neural foraminal stenosis.
THORACIC:
Alignment is normal.Mild widening of the T7 vertebral body is unchanged ___.
Vertebral body heights are otherwise maintained.T2 and FLAIR hyperintense
signal in the vertebral bodies of T7 and L1 are nonenhancing, unchanged from
___, and consistent with hemangiomas. The spinal cord appears normal in
caliber and configuration.
At T7-T8, right paracentral disc bulge cause mild vertebral canal narrowing,
indenting the thecal sac and mildly effacing the cord without underlying cord
signal abnormality or significant neuroforaminal narrowing.
At T8-T9 and T10-T11, disc bulges causes mild vertebral canal narrowing,
indenting the thecal sac without effacing the cord or causing significant
neural foraminal narrowing. A T12-L1 right neural foraminal 5 mm perineural
cyst is identified.
There are multiple T2 hyperintense nonenhancing parenchymal cystic lesions of
both kidneys measuring up to 1.7 cm, statistically most likely representing
simple cysts. The remainder the visualized prevertebral and paraspinal soft
tissues are grossly unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of intraspinal mass or cord signal abnormality.
2. C6 vertebral body enhancing lesion is indeterminate and could represent an
atypical hemangioma. Noncontrast CT scan of the C-spine is recommended for
further evaluation to evaluate for bony trabeculation.
3. Multilevel degenerative changes, described above, cause up to moderate to
severe neural foraminal narrowing but no spinal canal stenosis in the cervical
spine. No neural foraminal or spinal canal stenosis in the thoracic spine.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Noncontrast CT scan of the C-spine is recommended for
further evaluation to evaluate for bony trabeculation of the C6 vertebral body
lesion.

You were admitted to the hospital due to sensory changes on your
chest and back. A number of studies were done to evaluate this,
including MRI of your head and spine, which did not show any
significant abnormalities to explain your symptoms. You also
underwent a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) which showed signs of
inflammation. While you were initially on a medication for the
Shingles Virus, these studies came back negative and this
medication was stopped.
Your Steroids (prednisone) were increased as your recent
steroid taper may possibly be playing a role. While you are on
the steroids, you should take Bactrim SS daily to prevent
pneumonia and a calcium supplement. Please check your sugars at
home.
While laboratory studies are still pending, it was felt to be
safe for you to go home. However, you should follow-up with
your Neurologist (Dr. ___ to undergo further evaluation.
Please see your PCP ___ ___ weeks to discuss further therapy.
Additionally, you were found to have a small pulmonary nodule
on your CT scan. The radiologists recommend that you get a

REASON FOR MICU: Altered mental status, apnea, intubated
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
Intubation ___
Lumbar puncture
History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ ___ gentleman with a history of PTSD and
schizophrenia/bipolar on seroquel, who presents unresponsive and
apneic, intubated on site, and transferred for further workup.
The patient lives in group home and was reportedly in usual
state of health until ___, when he reported headache. Since
that time, he has been acting oddly and not returned to
baseline. On the day prior to admission, the patient was
confused and "spacing out," and pacing the halls all night. The
morning of admission, he was seated in chair in the hallway with
garbled speech and appeared confused. He subsequently was found
in the hallway presumed to have fallen, reporting difficulty
breathing and bilateral ___ weakness preventing him from walking.
EMS was called and he was taken to ___. Per EMS, he was
lucid and responsive en route.
At ___, he was triggered on arrival for apnea, but had
pulses. He appeared pale and cyanotic, and was unresponsive,
with O2 at of 40% and hypothermic. His pupils were pinpoint, ans
so he was given narcan without effect. He did not regain
respiratory drive, and was therefore intubated without issue.
His labs were notable for leukocytosis to 45.1, VBG with
7.24/68, and ABG post-intubation 7.35/47/89. He had normal
chemistry and a lactate of 2.9. His urine and drug screen were
negative. He had CT head, C-spine, CTA chest/abdomen/pelvis
which were unremarkable aside from possible lower lobe
"irregular consolidation." He was given vancomycin, zosyn,
ceftriaxone 2g, acyclovir, and solumedrol for empiric CNS
infection. LP was attempted 5 times, but unsuccessful due to
body habitus. Neurology and ICU were consulted and planned for
transfer to ___ for continued workup, including possible EEG.
Upon arrival to the ED, his vital signs were normal with T 98.4,
HR 76, BP 105/76, and sat 100% on ventilator. Labs notable for
leukocytosis improving to 27.2 with neutrophilic predominance.
Serum tox negative, urine tox pending. Chemistry unremarkable
aside from bicarb 33, lactate normal 1.2, and VBG 7.42/53.
troponin negative x1. LP attempted once and failed.
EKG with normal sinus rhythm at 79, normal axis, normal
chambers, early RWP, no Q waves or ST elevations/depressions or
TWI.
On arrival to the MICU, patient was intubated and sedated. His
___ mother was contacted, who essentially confirmed history
mentioned, that he has not been himself for the past few days,
and has had garbled speech and headache. She reports that he
coughs at baseline from smoking, and that this didn't seem worse
than baseline. No urinary symptoms, n/v/d, abdominal pain,
rashes, pain anywhere. No recent travel or sick contacts. He
smokes cigarettes and vapes unknown substances. No ETOH use. Has
history of depression/schizophrenia per ___ mother (bipolar
per chart), but she reports that he has never been suicidal and
she doesn't think he ingested anything.
Upon arrival, sedation was weaned off and patient was answering
questions and following commands. He confirmed that he was
feeling short of breath before, and denied any chest pain or
pain anywhere else. He does endorse coughing. He confirms
medication of Seroquel 100 qhs. Upon waking up, patient was
having difficulty moving RLE, so code stroke was called.
However, this resolved after some time.

You were in the hospital because you were found to have an
infection in the tissues that surround your brain. This is
called ventriculitis.
In the hospital, you were initially in the Intensive Care Unit
(ICU) and required a breathing tube. You were treated with
antibiotics. You also had some difficulty swallowing and needed
a tube down your nose to feed you.
When you leave the hospital, you will go to a rehab facility to
continue getting stronger. They will also work on improving your
swallowing, so you can tolerate a regular diet.

CKD stage III, ___. He presents with 1 day of
hematuria associated with clots. He awoke yesterday morning and
urinated without issues but when he looked in the toilet saw
that
it was bright red with blood, does not remember if there were
clots. He voided again several hours later, again without
difficulty but since it continued to be bloody he presented to
the ER. He denies dysuria, suprabupic pain, fever, chills, chest
pain, shortness of breath. He has chronic constipation. He does
not recall ever having hematuria before. He denies LUTS at
baseline, has ocassional incontinence overnight.
3-way catheter was inserted in the ER and he was started on CBI
but urine did not clear with large clots. There he was afebrile
with stable vitals. UA appeared grossly positive, concerning for
infection. CT was performed showing new asymmetric bladder wall
thickening and concern for active bleeding. He was therefore
admitted to continue CBI.

INDICATION: ___ with history of HTN and hypothyroidism, unresponsive and
intubated at OSH, found to have new onset atrial fibrillation, concerning for
embolic stroke or seizure activity.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with
gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was
performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations.
COMPARISON: CT head without contrast ___.
FINDINGS:
There is a large area of slow diffusion with mild associated T2/FLAIR
hyperintensity involving the right posterior inferior cerebellar hemisphere
and right inferior vermis, in the ___ territory, without associated medullary
involvement. No evidence for associated blood products, mass effect, or
contrast enhancement.
There is a punctate focus of slow diffusion in the left medial temporal cortex
(6:13, 5:13). There is more diffuse T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the left
medial temporal lobe extending along the temporal horn, without mass effect,
and with fast diffusion on the ADC map, images 11:11, 5:13. This most likely
represents an early subacute infarct superimposed upon chronic changes. No
associated blood products or contrast enhancement.
There is a linear focus high signal on diffusion tracer image 6:22 in the
right paracentral centrum semiovale, without low signal on the ADC map. This
is within an area of extensive confluent T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the right
centrum semiovale and could represent T2 shine through, versus a late subacute
infarct.
There is extensive confluent T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the periventricular,
deep, and subcortical white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, nonspecific
but likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease given the
patient's age and cardiovascular risk factors. There are scattered small
chronic infarcts in the basal ganglia, centrum semiovale, and corona radiata.
There is a 15 x 15 mm lobulated cystic structure with at least two thin
enhancing septations centered in the putamen (14:88, 100:92), likely a
congenital cyst versus a large Virchow ___ space.

level of pain: ett
level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
You were hospitalized due to symptoms of unresponsiveness and
vomiting, resulting from an ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE, a condition
where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain
is blocked by a clot. The brain is the part of your body that
controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage
to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result
in a variety of symptoms. You had a stroke in your right
cerebellum.
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:
1. Atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythm)
2. High cholesterol
3. High blood pressure
We are changing your medications as follows:
1. Start apixaban 5 mg twice daily (anticoagulation needed
because of your abnormal heart rhythm)
2. Start metoprolol 12.5 mg twice daily (to control your atrial
fibrillation)
3. Start Atorvastatin 80 mg at night (for high cholesterol)
Please take your other medications as prescribed.
Please follow up with Neurology and your primary care physician
as listed below.
If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek
emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical
Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur,
please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of
these symptoms:
- Sudden partial or complete loss of vision
- Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth
- Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to
you
- Sudden weakness of one side of the body
- Sudden drooping of one side of the face
- Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body
It was a pleasure taking care of you.

You were admitted to the hospital with acute appendicitis. You
were taken to the operating room and had your appendix removed
laparoscopically. You tolerated the procedure well and are now
being discharged home with the following instructions:
Please follow up at the appointment in clinic listed below. We
also generally recommend that patients follow up with their
primary care provider after having surgery. We have scheduled an
appointment for you listed below.
ACTIVITY:
Do not drive until you have stopped taking pain medicine and
feel you could respond in an emergency.
You may climb stairs.
You may go outside, but avoid traveling long distances until you
see your surgeon at your next visit.
Don't lift more than ___ lbs for ___ weeks. (This is about the
weight of a briefcase or a bag of groceries.) This applies to
lifting children, but they may sit on your lap.
You may start some light exercise when you feel comfortable.
You will need to stay out of bathtubs or swimming pools for a
time while your incision is healing. Ask your doctor when you
can resume tub baths or swimming.
HOW YOU MAY FEEL:
You may feel weak or "washed out" a couple weeks. You might want
to nap often. Simple tasks may exhaust you.
You may have a sore throat because of a tube that was in your
throat during surgery.
You could have a poor appetite for a couple days. Food may seem
unappealing.
All of these feelings and reactions are normal and should go
away in a short time. If they do not, tell your surgeon.
YOUR INCISION:
Tomorrow you may shower and remove the gauzes over your
incisions. Under these dressings you have small plastic bandages
called steristrips. Do not remove steri-strips for 2 weeks.
(These are the thin paper strips that might be on your
incision.) But if they fall off before that that's okay.
Your incisions may be slightly red around the stitches. This is
normal.
You may gently wash away dried material around your incision.
Avoid direct sun exposure to the incision area.
Do not use any ointments on the incision unless you were told
otherwise.
You may see a small amount of clear or light red fluid staining
your dressing or clothes. If the staining is severe, please call
your surgeon.
You may shower. As noted above, ask your doctor when you may
resume tub baths or swimming.
YOUR BOWELS:
Constipation is a common side effect of narcotic pain
medicaitons. If needed, you may take a stool softener (such as
Colace, one capsule) or gentle laxative (such as milk of
magnesia, 1 tbs) twice a day. You can get both of these
medicines without a prescription.
If you go 48 hours without a bowel movement, or have pain moving
the bowels, call your surgeon.
PAIN MANAGEMENT:
It is normal to feel some discomfort/pain following abdominal
surgery. This pain is often described as "soreness".
Your pain should get better day by day. If you find the pain is
getting worse instead of better, please contact your surgeon.
You will receive a prescription for pain medicine to take by
mouth. It is important to take this medicine as directed. Do not
take it more frequently than prescribed. Do not take more
medicine at one time than prescribed. Do not drink alcohol or
drive while taking narcotic pain medication.
Your pain medicine will work better if you take it before your
pain gets too severe.
Talk with your surgeon about how long you will need to take
prescription pain medicine. Please don't take any other pain
medicine, including non-prescription pain medicine, unless your
surgeon has said its okay.
If you are experiencing no pain, it is okay to skip a dose of
pain medicine.
Remember to use your "cough pillow" for splinting when you cough
or when you are doing your deep breathing exercises.
If you experience any of the following, please contact your
surgeon:
- sharp pain or any severe pain that lasts several hours
- pain that is getting worse over time
- pain accompanied by fever of more than 101
- a drastic change in nature or quality of your pain
MEDICATIONS:
Take all the medicines you were on before the operation just as
you did before, unless you have been told differently.
If you have any questions about what medicine to take or not to
take, please call your surgeon.
DANGER SIGNS:
Please call your surgeon if you develop:
- worsening abdominal pain
- sharp or severe pain that lasts several hours
- temperature of 101 degrees or higher
- severe diarrhea
- vomiting
- redness around the incision that is spreading
- increased swelling around the incision
- excessive bruising around the incision

History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ woman with metastatic BRCA1 mutant
breast cancer, estrogen receptor positive presenting for pain
control.
.
She was recently hospitalized at ___ for excruciating back
pain, at which time an MRI showed new and extensive involvement
of T11 and T12 with impingement of the spinal cord with
metastatic disease. Dr. ___ had recommended radiation
treatments to this area, T10-L1 (previous radiation was to lower
lumbar spine), however this has been deferred due to patient
concerns about bowel symptoms ___ radiation. Per documented
clinic notes, it was explained to the patient that she is at
risk for neurological compromise, including paralysis, with
untreated spinal disease, however she continued to decline
radiation. She did express an interest in ongoing chemotherapy.
.
She has had one week of increasing back pain, radiating to her
left hip and down to her left knee, as well as new onset LLE
weakness. She reports that she began noticing increased pain
last ___, which has gradually worsened throughout the week.
This morning she could not lift her left leg off her bed, which
worried her and she called her oncologist. Over the last few
days, she has been taking increasing doses of oxycodone and
dilaudid, in addition to her oxycontin and cyclobenzaprine. She
had planned to begin XRT of the T11/12 lesions on ___, but her
pain became unbearable and she came in to ___ from the ___
___ today and was sent over from ___ clinic.
.
In the ED, initial vitals were 97.8 98 138/99 18 100%RA. Code
cord was called on arrival. Labs showed WBC count of 19K with
unremarkable differential. Patient was hyperglycemic to 190 on
Chem7. 10 mg of IV dexamethasone was administered for possible
cord compression. She received a total of 7 mg IV
hydromorphone, 2 mg IV lorazepam x 1 and 2 mg ondansetron IV x
1. MRI of the T/L spine showed a new extradural mass at T5-6
displacing the cord anteriorly, as well as extensive advanced
metastatic disease at T11-12 and stable metastatic disease at
L5. Spine saw patient and stated findings limited to left leg
with L5 weakness and back pain, no sensory level and upgoing
toes bilaterally. Rectal exam was deferred due to patient
request. Hip and pelvic X-rays showed numerous sclerotic
lesions consistent with metastatic disease, but no definitive
fracture. Significant amount of stool in the cecum was also
seen. Vitals upon transfer were 97.6 ___ 16 99%RA.
.
On arrival to the floor, the patient is in ___ pain, writhing
in bed, finding it difficult to get comfortable. She reports
pain radiating to her left hip from her back. She feels very
constipated and is frustrated that she has not been able to
rest. There is no urinary hesitancy or incontinence, no bowel
incontinence. She has longstanding constipation, for which she
undergoes colonic hydrotherapy and takes polyethylene glycol.
There is no saddle anesthesia.

CLINICIANS: Dr. ___ (attending physician) and Dr. ___
(fellow). The attending was present throughtout the entirety of the
procedure.
Anesthesia: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of
fentanyl and Versed throughout the total intra-service time of 94 minutes.
The patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. A total
dose of 125 mcg fentanyl and 2.5 mg versed was used. 1% lidocaine and
lidocaine mixed with epinephrine were used for local anesthesia.
PROCEDURE:
1. Left internal jugular venous access.
2. Subcutaneous pocket creation over the left upper anterior chest wall.
3. Placement of a single-lumen chest port via the left IJV.
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 angio suite, she was placed supine on the
procedure table. The left upper chest was prepped and draped in usual sterile
fashion. A preprocedural time out was performed per ___ protocol.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the left 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. A measurement was
obtained from this wire and the wire was then secured to the drape.
The location of the port pocket was determined and the pocket was created in
the subcutaneous tissues. At this time the catheter was tunneled through
subcutaneous tissues from the port pocket to the puncture site in the internal
jugular vein. The catheter was attached to the port hub and was flushed with
saline to assure there were no leaks.
At this time the port was sutured into the pocket using 0 Prolene. Attention
was brought back to the neck puncture site where the micropuncture catheter
was exchanged for a dilator and peel-away sheath using fluoroscopic guidance.
The catheter was then cut to length and inserted into the internal jugular
vein through the peel-away sheath. The peel-away sheath was removed and
fluoroscopy was used to verify positioning of the catheter and the catheter
tip.
The pocket was closed using Vicryl interrupted subcutaneous sutures and a
running subcuticular stitch. The neck puncture site was closed using
Steri-Strips. Steri-Strips were also placed over the port pocket incision.
The port was accessed using a non-coring ___ needle and could be aspirated
and flushed easily. The area was cleaned and dressed per protocol.
The patient left the department in stable condition. No complications.
IMPRESSION:
Uncomplicated placement of a left-sided Port-A-Cath with the tip terminating
in the right atrium. Port ready to use at this time. Port was left accessed

and nodules in the subjacent anterior costal pleural surface, 2:26; and
enlarged internal mammary lymph nodes, 2:27, are also new.
Circumferential wall thickening of the distal esophagus is longstanding, and
could be either chronic esophagitis or a small hiatus hernia, unchanged since
at least ___. Left lobe of the thyroid gland is chronically enlarged.
A central lucency is new or newly apparent since ___, could be metastasis or
primary thyroid nodule. A geographic soft tissue abnormality in the inferior
segment of the lingula, 4:126-135, could be atelectasis, but since there was a
small lesion in that location on ___, raises concern for an
unusuallt shaped pulmonary metastasis. Irregular subpleural opacification in
both lower lungs is more likely microatelectasis than interstitial lung
disease.
Findings in the liver will be reported separately.
Extensive metastasis in the T12 vertebra involves both the partially collapsed
body and posterior elements and invades the spinal canal, displacing the cord
to the left. It is more extensive today than it was on ___.
IMPRESSION:
1. Metastatic breast carcinoma, progressive in multiple areas, most
significantly T12 vertebra with invasion of the spinal canal, loss of height
and impending collapse. Also new or increased are soft tissue invasion around
large metastasis to left lower posterior rib, subcutaneous and internal
mammary and pleural metastases at the level of mastectomy, and upper
mediastinal prevascular and internal mammary adenopathy.
2. Newly apparent lesion, left thyroid lobe.
Dr. ___ I discussed the findings by telephone at 12:30pm.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Metastatic breast cancer. Evaluate for brain metastasis.
COMPARISON: CT head ___.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1-weighted sequence, axial FLAIR, axial T2, magnetic
susceptibility and diffusion-weighted images were obtained. MPRAGE and axial
T1 post gadolinium images were also obtained.
FINDINGS:
The ventricles are normal in caliber and configuration. No shift of the
midline structures is demonstrated.
The dominant lesion is seen at the vertex centered in the right parietal bone
with minor involvement of the left pariteal bone. The lesion is lobulated and
extends through the inner and outer table of the bone and measures 5.3 cm
transverse x 4 cm AP x 3.2 cm craniocaudal. There is enhancement of the lesion
and slow diffusion demonstrated suggesting hypercellularity. There is a large
subperiosteal/subgaleal component, and an extra axial component that is
compressing and invading the superior sagittal sinus. There is associated
local mass effect/ sulcal effacement. Although significantly narrowed there
is no occlusion of the superior sagital sinus and no propagating clot is
demonstrated.
Additional osseous lesions are present as seen on CT, including a right
temporal-occipital lesion with an underlying enhancing dural component that
measures 14 mm AP x 6 mm transverse, and a right temporal bone lesion with an
underlying dural component that measures 3.8 cm AP x 8 mm transverse. An
additional small paramedian lesion is demonstrated in the left frontal bone
superiorly measuring 6 mm. There is patchy bone marrow signal particularly
within the clivus, making assessment of the enhancement challenging.
There is an enhancing left occipital lobar lesion measuring 8 mm transverse x
7 mm AP with associated FLAIR-hyperintensity. The lesion is favored to be
dural-based, with a subarachnoid and parenchymal component. Punctate enhancing
lesion in the right thalamus measuring 3 mm is noted, and there is a 2 mm
intraaxial lesion in the left cerebellar hemisphere, inferomedially.
The orbits are unremarkable. Linear enhancing focus in the left frontal lobe
is in keeping with a developmental venous anomaly. There is some adjacent
FLAIR hyperintensity which may reflect minor associated venous ischemia.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large osseous lesion at the cranial vertex with a subgaleal/subperiosteal
component. There is associated intracranial extension, with invasion and
compression of the superior sagittal sinus with significant narrowing. No
occlusion of the sinus is seen at present time.
2. Additional osseous lesions are demonstrated in the right temporal and
right temporo-occipital bones with underlying dural components.
3. Left occipital lesion measuring 8 mm, dural-based, transgressing the
subarachnoid space.
and punctate left cerebellar and right thalamic lesions, represent parenchymal
metastatic disease.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: Perihepatic and pelvic fluid collections after laparoscopic
cholecystectomy. Please drain fluid collections.
PROCEDURE: CT-guided drainage of pelvic and perihepatic collections.
FINDINGS:
written informed consent was obtained. A pre-procedure time-out was performed
confriming identity of the patient using two identifiers and type of
procedure to be performed. The patoetn was prepped and draped in the usual
sterile fashion.
DRAINAGE OF PELVIC COLLECTION:
The patient was positioned prone. 8 mL of 1% lidocaine was administered
subcutaneously for local anesthesia. Using CT guidance and aseptic technique,
an 18 gauge ___ needle was advanced into the collection 5cc of bloody
fluid were aspirated. a 0.35 ___ wire was advanced into the collection and
coiled freely within it. 7 and 8 ___ dilators were used prior to insertion
of an 8 ___ ___ catheter. 100 mL of dark red bloody fluid was
aspirated. The pigtail catheter was left in situ. A sample was sent to
microbiology for culture and to biochemistry for bilirubin.
DRAINAGE OF PERIHEPATIC COLLECTION:
The patient was turned supine. 8 ml of 1% lidocaine was administered
subcutaneously for local anesthesia. Using CT guidance and aseptic technique,
an 18 gauge ___ needle was advanced into the collection. Placement in the
collection was confirmed with CT fluoroscopy. No fluid could be aspirated. A
0.35 ___ wire was then advanced into the collection. The wire could not be
advanced easily but there was some resistance. The wire was then seen coiling
around itself in a small area. An 8 ___ catheter was advanced over the wire
and coiled. No fluid could be aspirated. The wire was then repositioned ans 2
cc of bloody fluid were aspirated. The collection was felt to represent
clotted hematoma (___ unit = 56). Therefore, the catheter was removed
without complication. The sample was sent to microbiology for culture.
IMPRESSION:
1. Satisfactory placement of pigtail catheter within the pelvic hematoma. If
the catheter does not continue to drain, it should be removed. Sample sent for
culture.
2. Aspiration of thick clotted blood from perihepatic collection. This is
felt to represent a clotted hematoma and, therefore, a catheter was not left
in situ.

Chief Complaint:
Aphasia and question of right leg weakness.
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ right-handed woman presenting
with aphasia and right leg weakness in the context of recent
headache and on a background of numerous stroke risk factors and
a family history of hemiplegic migraine.
She has been well recently except for some intermittent new
headache that is severe and was kept secret, per her daughter.
Her daughter states that headache was mostly nuchal with
radiation vertically, this was present a few days earlier, as
well as last night. There was no associated fever.
Yesterday she was to undergo scheduled cataract surgery. This
was stopped in process, per her daughter, given high intraocular
pressure. This was of the right eye and she has been wearing a
patch until arriving here.
Last night she had a bad headache, but the patient cannot
presently provide details owing to her language difficulties.
She went to bed and slept, but later managed to say that she had
a rough night (translated from ___ by her daughter).
This morning she was seen sleeping at 8 AM, not unusual for her.
At 9 AM, her son, who lives in the same building, noted that she
was very confused. She would speak unintelligibly without
slurring words, but would not make sense - there was
substitution
of words as well as non-sense words. Her daughter also heard
this when her son placed the patient on the phone with her
daughter. Her son also thought that her right leg seemed weak
and that the patient had at one point called her leg numb.
EMS were called based on the concerns of son and daughter and
she
was brought to ___ were neurology consult was called on
arrival.
The patient has at no time been febrile to the family's
knowledge. She has otherwise been well. Paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation had recently been found and DC cardioversion
considered. Althought she had a several day admission for
bleeding gastric ulcers in ___, the reason Coumadin was
not
started was that she plans a trip to ___ soon and her
physicians felt that monitoring would be difficult and further
bleeding even more dangerous. Ulcers alone were also considered
a risk, as per Dr. ___ of ___. Further review
of systems was limited by the patient's aphasia.
Past Medical History:
- Anxiety and Depression
- Diabetes, type II
- Hypertension
- Hypercholesterolemia
- Obesity
- Cholecystectomy
- Prior gastric ulcers, including bleeding with admission in
___ (___)
- GERD
- Prior diagnosis of BPPV
- Atrial fibrillation
- Cataract surgery
- Total hysterectomy
Social History:

Family History:
Daughter with hemiplegic migraine and TIAs.
Physical Exam:
ADMISSION EXAM
Vitals: T ___ F; HR 70 BPM; BP 153/76 mmHg; O2Sat 100 % RA; RR 20
BPM
She is lying still, mostly looking straight ahead with some mild
preference to attention to the left. She is tearful. Her
daughters are at the bedside.
The right pupil is irregular and not round after surgery
yesterday. Her mouth is moist. Her neck seems slightly stiff,
but she is not uncomfortable when it is moved and flexion does
not result in any leg movement. Lung sounds are vesicular and
heart sounds are dual, but there are occasional ectopy. Her
abdomen is soft and bowel sounds are present. Extremities are
of
normal appearance, but for varicose veins and trace edema in her
legs.
She is awake and alert, but seems to be with her own thoughts.
She can say her first name but did not provide her last name.
She did not answer when asked where she was or the date. She
occasionally reaches to her right thigh and calls this her arm
(in ___ and said something to the effect that her arm has
no
foot. She can recite parts of prayers but not the one that her
daughter attempts to have her repeat. She mixes fragments of
prayers, but does not make errors with the words. She called
aspirin her uterus. She called a pen and pencil, but did not
name other presented objects. She is upset and says 'oh my
god'.
Olfactation was not tested. She blinks to threat from all four
quadrants. The right pupil is irregular and post-surgical and
does not react. The left is 4 to 2 and round. Her gaze is
conjugate and is full to left and right, with some limitation of
upgaze. There is trace nasolabial fold flattening on the right
(her family agree). Hearing intact to voice.
Sternocleidomastoid seems strong. No dysarthria, tongue
medially
placed.
Tone is normal in arms and legs. There is no pronator drift.
She can open her hand fully on the right and finger extension is
strong. She can lift both arms against gravity and strength is
symmetrical. Both legs can be lifted from the bed against
resistance, but it was not possible to get her to dorsiflex the
foot fully or extend the toes.
Reflexes:
B T Br Pa Ac
R ___ 1 0
L ___ 1 0

IMAGING STUDIES:
CT Head (___): 1) No evidence of acute intracranial process.
2) Small infarct in the posterior left frontal lobe, at least
subacute and likely older. 3) Chronic sinus disease as detailed
above.
CTA Head and Neck (___):
1) Normal intracranial circulation. No dissection or flow
limiting stenosis of the arteries of the neck. 2) Chronic
inflammatory sinus disease as detailed above, predominantly on
the right, which may be odontogenic in origin. NOTE ADDED IN
ATTENDING REVIEW: Upon review of this study in tandem with the
MRI from ___, there is an abrupt interruption ("cut-off")
of the opacified distal branches of the inferior division of the
left middle cerebral artery (M3 segment), most apparent on the
3D volume-rendered images (355:1). This finding corresponds to
the vascular territory demonstrating slow diffusion on the MRI
and likely represents thrombo-embolic occlusion of these
vessels. The intracranial circulation is otherwise
unremarkable.
MRI (___): 1. Acute/subacute infarcts involving the left
parietal cortex extending inferiorly into the insular cortex and
a smaller focus in the left caudate head. 2. Extensive
right-sided sinus disease as described. Correlation with direct
visualization to exclude an underlying obstructing lesion is
advised.
ECHO (___): The left atrium is mildly dilated. No atrial
septal defect or patent foramen ovale is seen by 2D, color
Doppler or saline contrast with maneuvers. Left ventricular wall
thickness, cavity size and regional/global systolic function are
normal (LVEF >55%). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall
motion are normal. The aortic root is mildly dilated at the
sinus level. The ascending aorta is moderately dilated. The
aortic arch is mildly dilated. The aortic valve leaflets (3)
appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no
aortic stenosis. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral
valve leaflets are structurally normal. There is no mitral valve
prolapse. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: No
cardiac source of embolism identified. Preserved global and
regional biventricular systolic function. Mild dilatation of the
aortic root with moderate enlargement of the ascending aorta.

5) Hyperlipidemia
Discharge Condition:
Mental Status: Clear but with continued aphasia, with difficulty

Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker
or cane). Has mild right sided weakness.
Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with altered mental status and right leg
weakness.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain
without administration of IV contrast. Reformatted coronal and sagittal and
thin section bone algorithm reconstructed images were acquired.
FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass
effect, or infarction. There is an area of hypodensity with loss of gray
matter in the posterior left frontal lobe, which likely represents an
infarction that is at least subacute and likely even older. The ventricles
and sulci are normal in size and configuration. The basal cisterns appear
patent and there is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation.
No fracture is identified. There is complete opacification of the right
maxillary sinus. The right ethmoid air cells are almost completely opacified
and the left ethmoid air cells are partially opacified. The sphenoid sinus is
completely opacified. The right frontal sinus is partially opacified. There
is thickening of the bone surrounding the right maxillary sinus, consistent
with chronic bone reaction due to chronic inflammation. This chronic
inflammation may be secondary to a polyp, although no polypoid masses seen on
this exam. The mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. Patchy
vascular calcifications are seen in the internal carotid arteries. The globes
are intact.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of acute intracranial process.
2. Small infarct in the posterior left frontal lobe, at least subacute and
likely older.
3. Chronic sinus disease as detailed above.
Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
HISTORY: Confusion.
COMPARISONS: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, portable AP upright.
FINDINGS: The cardiac, mediastinal, and hilar contours appear unchanged. The
lungs appear clear. There are no pleural effusions or pneumothorax. There
has been no significant change.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute disease.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with aphasia and right leg weakness. Evaluation
for evaluation for thalamic hemorrhage or vascular stenosis.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain
without the administration of intravenous contrast initially. Subsequently,
helically acquired axial images were obtained through the head and neck using
a CTA protocol after the uneventful administration of 70 cc of Omnipaque
intravenous contrast. Curved reformats and volume rendered reformation
generated on an independent work station.
COMPARISON: Comparison is made to non-contrast CT of the head from ___.
FINDINGS:
Head CT: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, mass, mass effect, or
acute vascular territorial infarction. The ventricles and sulci are normal in
size and configuration. No fracture is identified.
There is complete opacification of the right maxillary sinus and near complete
opacification of the right ethmoid air cells along with the frontal ethmoidal
recess with chronic osteitis of the anterior and lateral walls of the right
maxillary sinus, consistent with chronic inflammatory disease. Calcified
contents of the right maxillary sinus are likely also the sequelae of chronic
inflammation and may be secondary to a polyp, although no polypoid masses are
seen and sinonasal polyposis is unlikely given the predominantly right-sided
findings. Slight mucosal thickening of the left maxillary sinus is noted.
Bilateral periapical lucency of maxillary teeth ___ numbers 3, 4 and 14) is
noted. These findings could be related to the chronic sinus inflammatory
disease previously described. The mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities
are clear.
Head and neck CTA: The carotid and vertebral arteries and their major
branches are patent with no evidence of stenosis. The bilateral vertebral and
carotid arteries are tortuous with medialization of the common carotids, left
more than right. Calcifications are seen at the level of the carotid
bifurcations bilaterally with no evidence of flow-limiting stenosis. The left
internal carotid artery measures 8.5 mm proximally and 5.0 mm distally. The
right internal carotid artery measures 7.8 mm proximally and 5.5 mm distally.
IMPRESSION:
1. Normal intracranial circulation. No dissection or flow limiting stenosis
of the arteries of the neck.
2. Chronic inflammatory sinus disease as detailed above, predominantly on the
right, which may be odontogenic in origin.
The above findings were communicated to Dr. ___ by Dr.
___ at 1545H on ___, 5 minutes after discovery.
NOTE ADDED IN ATTENDING REVIEW: Upon review of this study in tandem with the
MRI from ___, there is an abrupt interruption ("cut-off") of the
opacified distal branches of the inferior division of the left middle cerebral
artery (M3 segment), most apparent on the 3D volume-rendered images (355:1).
This finding corresponds to the vascular territory demonstrating slow
diffusion on the MRI and likely represents thrombo-embolic occlusion of these
vessels. The intracranial circulation is otherwise unremarkable.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Stroke, evaluate for territory.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multisequence MRI of the brain was obtained without IV
gadolinium.
COMPARISON: CT head noncontrast of ___ and CTA of ___.
FINDINGS:
There is slow diffusion involving the left parietal cortex, extending
inferiorly into the insular cortex, consistent with acute/subacute infarct in
the territory of the inferior division of the left middle cerebral artery.
There is abnormal FLAIR hyperintensity corresponding to this abnormality. In
addition, there is a small focus of slow diffusion involving the left caudate
head consistent with an additional small infarct. There is no evidence of
midline shift or mass effect. There is no evidence of hemorrhage.
The ventricles are normal in size. There is mild prominence of the
extra-axial CSF spaces.
There are scattered minimal T2 hyperintensities in the periventricular and
subcortical white matter which are nonspecific but could be seen with chronic
microangiopathy.
There is extensive mucosal thickening of the right maxillary sinus with fluid.
There is also extensive opacification of the right sphenoid and right ethmoid
air cells with mucosal thickening of the right frontal sinuses.
IMPRESSION:
1. Acute/subacute infarcts involving the left parietal cortex extending
inferiorly into the insular cortex and a smaller focus in the left caudate
head.
2. Extensive right-sided sinus disease as described. Correlation with direct
visualization to exclude an underlying obstructing lesion is advised.
These findings were discussed with Dr. ___, at 1:50 pm, on ___ via

You were admitted with symptoms of difficulty with speech and
some mild right sided weakness that were caused by an acute
ischemic stroke. A stroke occurs when one of the blood vessels
providing oxygen and nutrients to your brain is blocked by a
clot and that part of your brain is damaged. We think the most
likely reason you had a stroke is because you have atrial
fibrillation, an arrhythmia that often causes clots to form in
your heart.
To try to prevent stroke, you need to be on a blood thinner
called Coumadin. For the next few weeks, you will need to have
your blood levels checked several times per week and your PCP
___ adjust your Coumadin dose. When your level is steady, you
will need blood checks less frequently. Until you have reached
the right Coumadin dose, we recommend you stay on a daily
aspirin. Your PCP ___ tell you when to stop the aspirin.
In addition, we started a medication called Simvastatin to lower
your cholesterol. Please follow-up with your PCP to recheck your
cholesterol. |

medications. If needed, you may take a stool softener (such as
Colace, one capsule) or gentle laxative (such as milk of
magnesia, 1 tbs) twice a day. You can get both of these
medicines without a prescription.
o If you go 48 hours without a bowel movement, or have pain
moving the bowels, call your surgeon.
PAIN MANAGEMENT:
o It is normal to feel some discomfort/pain following abdominal
surgery. This pain is often described as "soreness".
o Your pain should get better day by day. If you find the pain
is getting worse instead of better, please contact your surgeon.
o You will receive a prescription for pain medicine to take by
mouth. It is important to take this medicine as directed. o Do
not take it more frequently than prescribed. Do not take more
medicine at one time than prescribed.
o Your pain medicine will work better if you take it before your
pain gets too severe.

History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ year-old ?ambidextrous (does most things right
but plays tennis with left) woman with history of orthostatic
hypotension (?pseudopheochromocytoma) who was brought in from
her
PCP's office with multiple seizures today.
The history is relayed by her son at the bedside, who is a
physician and has been closely involved in her care.
He reports that she was previously healthy and living
independently up until around ___ of this year. Around that
time, she began complaining of "clanging" sounds that she would
hear even though there was no sounds. She did not have other
symptoms associated with the sounds at that time. The sounds
resolved on their own - though might have lasted couple of days
per patient.
On ___, she was in the car with her son and daughter-in-law and
they were going to dinner, and she had LOC lasting 10 seconds.
She was brought to ED and they found her to have supine
hypertension and orthostatic hypotension (per DC summary, SBP
170->101). She had cardiac work up and then discharged home.
On ___, she went to the market, felt lighteaded, fell and hit
her
head, though she did not have loss of consciousness. She was
again brought to ED and had head CT which showed only subgaleal
hematoma. Admitted to medicine for observation overnight, again
found to have orthostatic hypotension (170 -> 140s)
Afterwards, her son began monitoring her blood pressure more
carefully at home and found that she had significant supine
hypertension with lying SBP up to 200s, and relative orthostatic
hypotension with SBP in 150s and symptomatic. Her son brought up
question of pseudopheochromocytoma and empiric treatment was
started with atenolol 50 mg and doxazosin 4 mg at 9 AM daily. He
feels that these medications has helped her and there has been
fewer episodes of presyncopal or syncopal episodes.
Pheochromocytoma work up was done and showed normetanephrine of
1.2 (normal < 0.9) and normal metanephrine.
End of ___, she had severe GI illness with n/v/diarrhea. They
obtained 24 hour care giver to keep her at home with very
frequent PO hydration. During this illness, they noted that she
had frequent seizures, with eyes rolling up and tonic/clonic
movement of her arms/legs. She would wake up confused and
agitated. There was no tongue biting or urinary incontinence.
They estimate about ___ short seizures in the ___ day period
during her illness. She also had some confusion vs.
hallucination
as she was recovering, but essentially recovered to baseline per
her son.
2 weeks ago, she had one brief seizure while she was out with a
family member to get coffee. she had just gotten some coffee and
had a similar episode of convulsion.
For the last week, she has been feeling fatigued with some
diarrhea, and had one seizure yesterday. This morning, between
5:45 and 6:16, she had 7 episodes of either rolling or shaking
that was witnessed by the caregiver at home. She seemed confused
afterwards with possible hallucinations. They took her to her
PCP's office to get labs drawn and she had 2 more episodes, so
was brought to ED. Her hallucinations seem to be both auditory
(hearing ___ baritone singing") and formed/visual variety,
usually involving people (she was seen talking to empty space,
and when asked she said she was talking to the caregiver).
On neuro ROS, the pt denies headache, loss of vision, blurred
vision, diplopia, dysarthria, 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. Some difficulty with gait.
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. +Mild diarrhea, no vomiting. No recent change in
bladder habits. No dysuria. Denies arthralgias or myalgias.
Denies rash.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Multiple seizures. Evaluate for acute process.
TECHNIQUE: Helical axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without
administration of IV contrast. Reformatted images in coronal and sagittal
axes were generated.
DLP: 891.9 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Noncontrast CT head from ___.
FINDINGS: There is no acute large territorial infarct, hemorrhage, edema, or
mass effect. The ventricles and sulci are prominent, suggestive of
age-related involutional change. Mild periventricular hypodensities are
consistent with chronic small vessel ischemic disease. The basal cisterns are
patent and there is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation.
No fracture is identified. There are aerosolized secretions within the right
sphenoid sinus; the other visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and
middle ear cavities are clear.
IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial abnormality.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRASTMRI of the head with and without contrast.MR
HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with orthostatic hypotension, new seizures //
evaluate for abnormality, new seizures
TECHNIQUE: MRI of the brain is performed and includes the following
sequences: sagittal T1-weighted, axial fast spin echo T2-weighted,axial FLAIR,
axial diffusion weighted and axial gradient echo images.
COMPARISON: Prior MRI of the brain dated ___, and prior head CT
dated ___.
FINDINGS:
No significant changes are demonstrated since the prior examination. There is
no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, mass effect or shifting of the
normally midline structures. The ventricles and sulci are prominent,
suggesting cortical volume loss, probably age related and involutional in
nature. Multiple scattered foci of high signal intensity are again seen on T2
and FLAIR sequences, distributed in the subcortical and periventricular white
matter, which are nonspecific and may reflect changes due to small vessel
disease. No diffusion abnormalities are detected. The major vascular flow
voids are present and demonstrate normal distribution. The orbits are notable
for a left-sided 9 x 7 mm retrobulbar/intraconal nodule, abutting the optic
nerve and the adjacent lateral rectus muscle and mild restricted diffusion,
there is no evidence of proptosis or significant enlargement since the prior
examination, the paranasal sinuses and the mastoid air cells are clear.
