Paget-Schrotter syndrome is a rare form of upper extremity thrombosis of which diagnosis is usually performed with duplex Doppler ultrasound study. Even if the ultrasound reveales no abnormalities, meticulous evaluation of the clinical findings may help to prompt cure, and the early thrombolytic therapy relieves symptoms. We report a 19-year-old male patient with complaints of a suddenly develo...

Pelvic varicose veins secondary to ovarian vein reflux are common and can present with clinical pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS). After assessment with duplex ultrasound and venography, treatment often involves surgical ovarian vein ligation and more recently embolization of the ovarian vein(s) followed by ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) of the pelvic tributaries. This paper present...

Chronic constipation is a common condition which may result in fecal impaction. A 13-year-old male with chronic constipation and encopresis presented with fecal impaction for three weeks. The impaction caused abdominal pain, distension, encopresis, and decreased oral intake. He was found in severe distress with non-pitting edema of his feet and ankles along with perineal edema. The pedal edema ...

Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is among the most common identifiable etiologies of stroke in young adults and poses a diagnostic challenge due to nonspecific symptoms and substantial variability of imaging results. Here, we present a case of unspecific neck pain as isolated symptom of VAD with unusually compelling evidence on duplex ultrasound. This observation has clinical relevance as the ...

An arteriovenous fistula is an abnormal connection between the arterial and venous systems. In the literature, there are well-described ultrasound findings of iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula as a potential complication from percutaneous transarterial or transvenous procedures. The most important sign is direct visualization of the fistula in the place of the access site. It is necessary to loo...

Current societal guidelines recommend duplex ultrasound surveillance beyond 30 days after carotid endarterectomy for patients with risk factors restenosis or who underwent primary closure. However, the appropriate length this has not yet been identified, and rate at which prompts intervention is unknown. Multiple calls decreasing health care spending that does provide value, including unnecessa...
