Coronary computed tomographic angiography can detect nonobstructive atherosclerotic lesions that would not otherwise have been detected with functional cardiac imaging. Currently, limited data exist regarding the clinical significance of these lesions in patients with acute chest pain. The aim of our study was to examine the prognostic significance of these nonobstructive findings in a patient ...

The relationship between laboratory and chest computed tomography scan findings severity of COVID-19 cases: a single center study

a 50-year-old male underwent a check-up for an insurance company. chest x-ray revealed a large ball-like lesion in the posterior mediastinum. the finding was confirmed by computed tomography (ct) scan (figure 1). the patient was referred to our center, where he had a successful mass removal surgery (figure 2). pathology identified the mass as neurinoma.

BACKGROUND Carotid dissection may lead to many different types of neurological deficits, both transient and permanent. CASE DESCRIPTION We present a patient with an isolated central retinal artery occlusion who was found to have an ipsilateral carotid dissection by neck computed tomographic scan, later confirmed by angiography. CONCLUSIONS This is the first reported case of carotid dissecti...

Background: Thoracic deformity after costal cartilage harvesting is a poorly reported complication in current literature. Several authors reconstruct an ear using 3 or 4 costal cartilages. This method produces various chest wall deformities. There is no description of an analysis of thoracic deformity as a sequel in patients who underwent autologous auricular reconstruction based on a clinical ...

Involuntary mouthing movements indistinguishable from neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia followed stroke in a woman whose computed tomographic (CT) scan showed bilateral thalamo-capsular infarction.

The Case A 68-year-old diabetic woman presents to the emergency department 1 hour after right-sided hemiplegia and global aphasia. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score is 21; Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASEPCTS) on computed tomographic scan is 8; and computed tomographic angiography shows severe left internal carotid artery stenosis and proximal left M1 middle cerebral ar...

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) often causes small blood vessel lesions in multiple organs, with less impact on large vessels. We report a case involving not only large blood vessels, but also angina. The computed tomographic angiography of large vessels and vascular ultrasonography of the extremity also suggested great arteries of the body were involved. Further cytoplasmic antineutroph...
