An Interesting Case Of Wunderlich Syndrome And Page Kidney, Megan Worthington, Nicholaus Monsma, Raj Pyne
Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery
We present a case of Wunderlich Syndrome and Page Kidney, a rarely reported combination. Wunderlich Syndrome, characterized by spontaneous renal hemorrhage without a history of trauma, is typically associated with Lenk’s triad of flank pain, mass, and hypovolemia. Page Kidney induced hypertension, a rare condition resulting from external renal compression associated with renin-mediated mechanisms. Our case demonstrates the importance in quick recognition and treatment as blood pressure changes can be fast and dramatic. Our case also has the added dimension of renin measurements. After the patients hypertension developed, his initial renin levels were within normal range, but they later showed …
Case Report Of Unilateral Dysphagia In The Context Of A Classical Type Of Eagle Syndrome, Ryan Tam, Stephen D. Howard, Timothy Ehmann, Bryan Scott

A patient presents with unilateral, right-sided dysphagia and generalized facial symptoms following past surgical history of tonsillectomy that is consistent with an underdiagnosis of Eagle Syndrome. The elongation of the styloid process likely impinged on the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves resulting in symptoms. Given the lack of recognition of the disease, this case report describes the presentation of Eagle Syndrome to encourage physicians to consider this disease as part of a broader differential diagnosis.

Unlikely Cohabitants: A Collision Tumor Of Metastatic Small Cell Lung Carcinoma And Adrenal Adenoma, Michael Demeritt, Savanna Atwal, Stefan Johnson, Kevin Lightner, Joel Thompson

This case report is the second known publication of a very specific collision tumor, where small cell lung cancer metastasized to an adrenal adenoma. The focus is primarily on multimodal radiologic findings of the developing neoplasm, including CT, MRI, and FDG PET/CT. These findings are compared with established diagnostic criteria for adrenal adenomas and metastases, as identified by the literature and content expert review. Epidemiological data regarding collision tumors is discussed, as well as proposed treatment strategies. Similar topics are elucidated for small cell lung carcinoma. Reporting of this collision tumor adds to the relatively thin body of knowledge of …
A Rare Appendiceal Mucocele Of The Appendix Captured On The Ultrasound: Case Report, Vera Shulgina, Meghan Single, Joel Thompson
A Rare Appendiceal Mucocele Of The Appendix Captured On The Ultrasound: Case Report, Vera Shulgina, Meghan Single, Joel Thompson
Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery
Appendiceal mucocele is a rare disease which results from an accumulation of mucus in the lumen of the appendix, leading to distension and obstruction of the lumen. Clinical diagnosis is often delayed, as the presenting symptoms are usually non-specific. Even with the use of imaging, preoperative diagnosis is difficult. The treatment is surgical, with the extent determined by the surgical specimen. Definitive diagnosis is by histopathology. Our case report presents a rare case of appendiceal mucocele originally captured by ultrasound. The aim of this paper is to further understand the clinical presentation, discuss key ultrasound findings, and examine the proper …
