Hx: Abdominal Pain

Professionally appropriate gif responses only please. No spoilers! wetread.org #FOAMrad #FOAMed #radres #errad #bodyrad
#Wetread Case 19 Answer: Cecal volvulus

= torsion of the cecum around it's mesentery
~10% of intestinal volvuli
30-60yo
often prior abd surgery or pelvic mass
present as prox colon obstruction (pain,n,v, distention)

#FOAMrad #FOAMed #radres #errad #bodyrad
Cecal volulus:
2 types:
-Axial - twists about axial plane (either way) but remains in RLQ
- Loop type - twists and inverts moving to LUQ

Bascule is a variant where the cecum doesn't twist, just folds up anteriorly (NO torsion!)

From UpToDate (a=axial, b=loop, c=bascule):

More specifically - multiple large bilateral renal angiomyolipomas through the kidneys (green) with acute R perinephric hemorrhage (red arrows)

*remember ⬆️size of AMLs = ⬆️ risk of hemorrhage

#FOAMed #FOAMrad #bodyrad #radres Image

#WetreadCoW Case 11 Answer: Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

-accumulation of mucinous ascites from mucin producing tumor. This case is the classic mucinous appendiceal tumor s/p multiple debulking surgeries! #FOAMed #FOAMrad #Radres #bodyrad

👍 on the gifs everyone! ImageImage
Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

Source: mucinous tumor of appendix (#1), colon, stomach, pancreas, urachus, ovary

Rupture➡️ mucin & neoplastic cells into the peritoneum ➡️ diffuse peritoneal spread of malignancy and increasing abdominal distention

#WetreadCow Case 5 Answer: Ischemic Bowel

Fluid filled ?dilated bowel loops 👍 All the same? ❌

R abd loops (red) = thickened w/o enhancement vs those in the L abd (blue) which = early obstruction or ileus.

Surgery=necrotic bowel! #FOAMed #FOAMrad #radres #ERrad #bodyrad ImageImage

#WetreadCOW Case 3 Answer: Bochdalek Hernia

Large round opacity right lung base.

On frontal does NOT obscure anterior diaphragm or R heart border - ie posterior/RLL

On lateral DOES "obscure" entire posterior R diaphragm

#Chestrad #ERRad #radres #FOAMrad ImageImage
Bochdalek Hernia

-congenital defect in posterior diaphragm attachment
- Can be either side (classic =L side in symptomatic infants➡️lung hypoplasia, but R m/c in adults?)
- typically only fat but ~25% can contain abd organs

Hint: 🅱️ochdalek = 🅱️ack

Wetread Summer Series Case 7

Hx: scrotal pain (we got a bit different hx from the pt...)

Please answer with PROFESSIONALLY APPROPRIATE gif responses only. No spoilers. wetread.org #WetreadCow #FOAMrad #FOAMed #radres #errad #bodyrad Image
#Wetread SS Case 7 Answer: Penile Fracture

Hx was actually classic "Heard pop w/ pain during intercourse"

US shows 1 corpus spongiosum + 2 corpus cavernosa. Examine for rupture of the tunica albuginea which surrounds the CC and CS ->deflation. Hematoma (red) extends proximally. ImageImage
-Hx is typical
-Imaging classic once you get there.

-ER often just orders a scrotal US (need penile US).
-Uncommon so US techs may/may not know how to scan

Get trans/long images looking for CC/CS ruptured hyperechoic albuginea and/or hematoma

Urtheral injuries rare but occur

Wetread SS Case 6 Answer: Ruptured Heterotopic Pregnancy (IUP + ruptured ectopic pregnancy)

Too easy?🤔 No one likes OB?☹️🤣

+IUP generally excludes ectopic pregnancy. Here's the rare exception proving the rule. Labeled gif below for #radres. #WetreadCow #FOAMed #errad #bodyrad

Wetread SS Case 3 Help

Interestingly a paucity of answers on this one. 🤔

Perhaps the upright abdomen X-ray that went with the previous SUPINE view may be helpful? 😮 ImageImage
#WetreadCow SS Case 3 Answer: the gastric fundus! (ie a LUQ pseudomass)

The gastric fundus is the most posterior aspect of the stomach so supine it collects fluid. Imaged en face it can appear as a round LUQ mass. CT shows exactly this

Yep, normal! 🤣 #FOAMrad #radres #bodyrad ImageImageImage

Wetread Case 37 Answer: De Garengeot Hernia with acute appendicitis

A De Garengeot hernia is a femoral hernia containing the appendix. Here we have that but the appendix is hyperenhancing with wall thickening and surrounding fluid consistent with acute appendicitis. #FOAMrad
De Garengeot hernias were named after a French surgeon from the 1700s. These are fairly rare (<3% of femoral hernias), with complicating appendicitis even more uncommon.

Wet Read Case 33

Special case for hitting 1000 followers! Thank you all!

Hx: abdominal pain

Any past medical hx? Diagnosis?

Professional gif responses only please. No spoilers! wetread.org #WetreadCow #FOAMrad #FOAMed #radres #errad #bodyrad @RyanBPetersonMD
Another view may be helpful.

Hoping everyone is safe and healthy!

@StefanTigges @ER_Rad_Hanna @AdamSingerMD
I think this is a tough one especially without windowing/leveling but what or should I say where is the abnormality?

Lots of high density material right? But hopefully these images show you that this material is NOT within the GI tract.

So what it is?

Hx: abdominal pain 🙀

Can you find the dx on this non-con exam?

@ER_Rad_Hanna @RyanBPetersonMD Answer: Right ovarian vein thrombosis (possibly thrombophlebitis)

Note the dilated, hyperdense right ovarian veins. Stranding suggests phlebitis (check with labs)
@ER_Rad_Hanna @RyanBPetersonMD Blue arrow denotes the dilated, hypderdense ovarian veins.

Remember the anatomy - R gonadal vein drains into the IVC while the L gonadal vein drains into the L renal vein

More inferiorly you can see the abnormal veins surrounding the right ovary. ImageImage
