The distal portion of her uvula was necrotic with a clear demarcation approximately halfway up the uvula. She had no trauma to the anterior oropharyngeal structures, tonsils, or adenoids. There were no lesions to the hard or soft palate. She had no carotid bruits or thrills, and no tenderness over the anterior portion of the neck.

Case Report of Incarcerated Gastric Volvulus and Splenic Herniation in Undiagnosed Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia in an Infant

An upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) showed an enteric tube with its tip in the stomach and side-port in the esophagus. There was a large amount of air in the stomach and a small volume of scattered distal bowel gas. The tip of an enteric tube was seen in the stomach (red arrow). Contrast partially filled the stomach, and the greater curvature was visualized superior to the lesser curvature in the left upper quadrant (blue arrow). The body of the stomach was herniated into the right chest through a Bochdalek hernia (blue star). There was a large amount of air in the stomach and a small volume of scattered distal bowel gas. These findings were consistent with mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus.

An MRI with contrast, T2 sequence was performed. In Figures a-d, the MRI of the patient’s brain and spinal cord on admission shows abnormal signals in the patient’s pons (lack of symmetrical gray-white differentiation on cross-section) along with hyperintensity (sagittally shown as brightness in what should be homogenously intense spinal cord) and significant central cord edema (with swelling seen as increased width) starting from C5 and continuing to the conus medullaris around L1/L2.

On arrival for this visit, the patient was nontoxic appearing with stable vital signs. The physical exam was notable for deep, ulcerated, bilateral anterior leg wounds with purulent drainage and large areas of eschar (see photographs).

Case Report: Iatrogenic Bowel Perforation Following Dental Procedure

Claire DeLong, DO* and Frederick Fiesseler, DO*

The patient’s abdominal CT demonstrated a metallic foreign body in the left side of the abdomen within the small bowel, without surrounding induration or abscess. Radiology questioned whether the metallic foreign object perforated the bowel. Seen in the cross-sectional CT image, there is a hyperdense linear structure transversing the small intestinal wall, given that a portion of the structure was located outside of the lumen of the bowel.

By the end of this oral board case, learners will be able to: 1) obtain appropriate history of present illness (HPI) and physical exam elements for the undifferentiated chest pain patient, 2) identify elements of history and physical exam that are compatible with pulmonary embolism, 3) formulate a differential diagnosis for chest pain and perform the appropriate work-up to narrow this differential diagnosis, 4) appropriately manage pulmonary embolism, 5) review and discuss the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) elements of the case, and 6) review and discuss the importance of social determinants of health (SDH) in disposition decisions and patient outcomes.

At the end of this oral board session, examinees will: 1) Demonstrate the ability to obtain a complete medical history and physical exam. 2) Identify and appropriately treat DKA. 3) Identify, treat, and make appropriate consults for NSTI. 4) Demonstrate effective communication of the treatment plan with the patient.

By the end of this simulation session, learners will be able to: 1) assess the hemodynamics of an LVAD patient by using a Doppler to determine mean arterial pressure, 2) Manage an arrhythmia in an LVAD patient with a suction event by addressing preload, 3) Identify and treat the source of hypovolemia (a massive lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage), 4) Perform clear closed-loop communication with other team members.
