We present case 30-year-old trauma technician who presented right shoulder chest pain following popping sensation while pushing full momentum patient on gurney accidentally set break...
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is associated with high morbidity and mortality in acute care surgery practice, hernias constituting a significant portion of the underlying etiology. Physical examination maneuvers such as changing extremity position patient can further improve clinician's diagnostic acumen to identify cause disease. We present case SBO an 83-year-old female whose physical exam was consistent obturator hernia.
Intussusception is a rare cause of bowel obstruction caused by both benign and malignant pathology. We are presenting the case an elderly patient who had been diagnosed with irritable syndrome for many years prior to us ileocecal intussusception causing small obstruction. Laparoscopic resection terminal ileum cecum was performed. Pathology revealed multiple submucosal lipomas as underlying cause.
Distributive (vasodilatory) shock is common in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Treating distributive presents a challenge, especially if patient tachyphylactic commonly used vasopressors. This case report illustrates use of newly approved vasopressor with vasodilatory resulting from motor vehicle injury. A 56-year-old man was brought our emergency department (ED) hemodynamically unstable requiring aggressive resuscitation. The results his evaluation were consistent...
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital defect of the small intestinal tract resulting from incomplete obliteration vitellointestinal duct. It presents with unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, bowel obstruction, and inflammation. In rare instances, presentation perforation similar to acute appendicitis perforation. The symptoms, clinical exam, radiological findings our patient, 38-year-old male, were consistent perforated appendicitis; he was found have intraoperatively.
Intussusception, defined as the telescoping of one segment gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent one, is a rare cause abdominal pain in adult population due to underlying benign or malignant pathology. With liberal use CT evaluation patients with pain, diagnosis became more reliable. Resection bowel recommended treatment most cases. We are presenting case 76-year-old male patient who presented three-week history and diarrhea. The was consistent ileocolic intussusception. Robotic resection...
Purpura fulminans (PF) is a dermatologic manifestation of an underlying life-threatening condition associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation and skin necrosis. The known categories include protein C deficiency or abnormalities other systems (inherited acquired), acute infectious PF idiopathic. We describe case induced by Escherichia coli-associated bacteremia.
Intrathoracic esophageal anastomotic leaks after cancer resection are very morbid and challenging problems. Esophageal stents play an integral role in the management of these patients. Herein, we present a case lower who developed leak at his gastroesophageal anastomosis was successfully managed with fully covered metal stent. Our objective to remind our colleagues regarding safe alternative treatment for this complication.
De novo thrombosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Calcified thrombus IVC is an extremely rare incidental finding associated with recurrent deep venous (DVT) pulmonary embolism (PE). We present a case abdominal pain secondary to calcified in supra-hepatic region IVC.
Our patient is a 58-year-old female who presented to our emergency room with left upper quadrant abdominal pain the day after outpatient screening colonoscopy. A computed tomography (CT) scan of abdomen and pelvis revealed grade III spleen injury. She was admitted intensive care unit, gradual decline in her hematocrit noticed. The did well discharged from hospital splenic artery embolization.
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a major cause of morbidity and financial burden in hospitals around the world. Foreign body (FB) ingestion as rare. While most cases are straight forward, some can be extremely subtle. We present case SBO caused by an undigested piece pineapple core.
Intussusception, as a rare cause of small bowel obstruction, can be secondary to benign or malignant pathology. Malignant lesions causing intussusception primary metastatic lesions. Metastasis occur many years later. We present case melanoma in 69-year-old man the underlying etiology his intussusception. The patient had laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass four prior presentation and did recall excision skin at age 64. Laparoscopic open surgical resection is best therapeutic option cases such this.
