Andrusaitis, MS, et al.

We report a 52-year-old man who was found to have a submassive central saddle and extensive bilateral PEs after experiencing a syncopal event and who had evidence of right heart strain and pulmonary hypertension.

Gagne, DO, et al.

We describe a patient who presented to the emergency department complaining of generalized weakness, dark stools, and urinary retention who was found to have two large abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) compressing his bilateral ureters with associated hydronephrosis and renal insufficiency.

Carmelli, MD, et al.

We present a case of infective endocarditis presenting as endogenous endophthalmitis and a ruptured mycotic aneurysm. This case illustrates both the complexity of infective endocarditis as a disease process and the more subtle diagnostic criteria as outlined by the Modified Duke Criteria.

Cohen, MD, et al.

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is a rare condition occurring as a consequence of numerous processes that prevent gastric emptying. Presenting symptoms of GOO are non-specific and include nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort and decreased appetite. The diagnosis of GOO is often challenging.

Davis, MD, PhD, et al.

Here we present a case of a 77-year-old female who arrived to our emergency department for evaluation of a leg laceration and was incidentally found to have a catheter-related right atrial thrombus using point-of-care ultrasound.

Edwards, MS, et al.

We present the case of a male evaluated in the emergency department for a closed-loop small bowel obstruction due to an adhesive band that likely formed after blunt abdominal trauma over two decades earlier. We review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment options for similar cases of adhesive SBO.

Vu, MD, et al.

We present a case of a 58-year-old woman who was found to have gastric outlet obstruction from the inflated balloon of a Foley catheter being used as a replacement for her PEG tube. This case illustrates a potential complication of using a Foley catheter in place of commercially available gastrostomy tubes.

Johnson, MD, et al.

Historically, the diagnosis of caustic ingestion has been clinical without any suitable diagnostic tools to aid in the suspicion of occult cases. In this case, we describe a novel use of ophthalmic pH paper to diagnose caustic ingestion in a three-year-old.

Barnes, DO, et al.

This is a case report of a healthy 58-year-old male presenting with diffuse persistent abdominal pain. Diagnosed on computed tomography, this patient’s condition was managed conservatively with anticoagulants.

Gammons, MD, et al.

The case of a 56-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented to the emergency department in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) with only mild hyperglycemia is presented.

Poppe, MD et al.

The rapid diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is necessary to prevent the spread of infection to others and reduce morbidity and mortality.

Sheridan, MD, et al.

We report a case of a young girl who underwent straight bladder catheterization and was subsequently found to have a retained catheter that had become knotted in the bladder.

Ahmed, BA, et al.

This case illustrates the broad differential to be considered when evaluating patients with hemorrhagic bullous lesions.

Hajicharalambous, DO, et al.

Babesiosis, mainly endemic within the Northeastern and upper Midwestern regions of the United States, is a zoonotic disease that invades and lyses red blood cells, which can result in hemolytic anemia.

Mooney, JD, MD, et al.

A review of the literature failed to reveal a single case report wherein POCUS in the workup of a pregnant trauma patient led to the diagnosis of fetal intracranial hemorrhage. This is such a case.

Gulati, MD, et al.

We present the case of an 88-year-old female who presented to the emergency department (ED) with suspected massive pulmonary embolism (PE) causing respiratory failure, right heart strain, and shock, who despite early and aggressive resuscitation with vasopressors and continuous peripheral infusion of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), suffered a cardiac arrest in the ED.

Crawford, MD, et al.

This case discusses the novel use of an intraosseous vascular access device (IOVAD) as a potential adjunct to stabilization and alternative to treatment with operative K-wire fixation.

Ruttenberg, DO, et al.

A 20-year-old male United States Marine Corps recruit was admitted to the emergency department with a two-week history of profound, bilateral upper-extremity weakness and numbness.

Colbert, DO, et al.

Diagnosis of Lemierre syndrome is often delayed, and identification of internal jugular vein thrombosis is often the first indicator of its presence. We report a case of Lemierre syndrome associated with a laryngeal carcinoma.

Chan, MBBS, et al.

This report illustrates how point-of-care ultrasound performed in the emergency setting in the evaluation of such patients helped in management of two undiagnosed GIST patients.
