A Rare Case of Concurrent SMA Syndrome and Portal Vein Thrombosis

The American Journal of Gastroenterology (2013)

George Protopapas Neetu Chahil K Seshagiri Rao Rend Al-Khalili Michael Demyen

Purpose: This is a case of a 62-year-old man who presented with complaints of periumbilical abdominal pain and vomiting of 2 days' duration. He noted a 4-month history of watery, non-mucoid diarrhea with a 15lb unintentional weight loss. Prior workup for chronic diarrhea included stool studies, colonoscopy, and CT scan abdomen, all of which were normal. The patient appeared cachectic with a diffusely tender abdomen and voluntary guarding. Initial labwork was pertinent only a mild leukocytosis. Liver function tests, amylase, lipase, and lactate levels were all normal. A CT scan abdomen revealed changes consistent with portal vein thrombosis and SMA syndrome (Figures 1 and 2). An abdominal ultrasound was obtained, revealing changes confirming SMA syndrome. An EGD revealed a dilated stomach with large amounts of gastric contents. A decompressive gastrostomy tube with a feeding jejunal extension was placed radiographically. The patient was started on heparin and broad-spectrum antibiotics. The patient was managed medically with improvement in his clinical status. He was discharged to a rehabilitation facility in stable condition. This case highlights the effects of SMA syndrome on the portal vasculature. Review of the literature reveals a paucity of similar cases, most involving the pediatric population with SMA syndrome, complicated by gastric wall pneumatosis and portal venous gas. In our case, local compression on the SMV well may very well have been the single most important contributing factor. Special attention should also be paid to pressure effects of a dilated proximal duodenum and/or dilated stomach. We should remain alert to the possible association of SMA syndrome with the portal vasculature and rule it out on imaging.Figure 1: Axial contrast CT image obtained during the portal venous phase demonstrates a non-occlusive thrombus within the right portal vein (arrow).Figure 2: Image demonstrates narrowing of the distance between the SMA (arrow) and the aorta (A) at the level of the 3rd portion of the duodenum (arrowhead).

Breast Imaging Fellowship Match: Applicants’ Perspectives of Years Two and Three

Journal of Breast Imaging (2020)

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study is to summarize the results of a survey distributed by the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) to assess applicants’ experience with the 2018 and 2019 Breast Imaging Fellowship Match process. Methods In this institutional review board–exempt study, the SBI issued an anonymous survey to all matched applicants in an attempt to gauge their experience with the 2018 and 2019 Match process. Results The survey was sent to all 2018 and 2019 matched applicants and 105/236 (45%) responses were received. The majority (75%, 79/105) of respondents reported a positive experience with the Match, with at least a 4/5 rating, and only 3% (5/105) reported a rating below 3/5. There was some improvement in 2019, with 86% (24/28) of respondents reporting at least a 4/5 rating compared to 71% (55/77) in 2018. No respondent reported a score below a 3/5 rating in 2019. The most commonly cited issues with the Match were the timing of the Match process, the need for a universal application, and the burden of travel. Location and program reputation were the two most important factors contributing to the final rank order of programs. Conclusion The great majority of applicants felt that the Match created a positive experience. Planned areas of improvement include the implementation of a universal application, the transition to virtual interviews, and a condensed timeline. These measures are likely to increase applicant satisfaction and provide a fair and efficient experience for future breast radiologists.

Palpable Lumps after Mastectomy: Radiologic-Pathologic Review of Benign and Malignant Masses

Radiographics (2021)

Rend Al-Khalili Ali Alzeer Giang-Kimthi Nguyen Erin P. Crane Judy H. Song

Patients who have undergone mastectomy, with or without reconstruction, are not universally screened with mammography or US. Therefore, clinical breast examination by the physician and patient-detected palpable abnormalities are crucial for detecting breast cancer or recurrence. Diagnostic US is the first-line modality for evaluation of postmastectomy palpable masses, with occasional adjunct use of diagnostic mammography for confirming certain benign masses. In the setting of a negative initial imaging evaluation with continued clinical concern, diagnostic MRI may aid in improving sensitivity. Knowledge of the typical multimodality imaging appearances and locations of malignant palpable abnormalities-such as invasive carcinoma recurrence, cancer in residual breast tissue, radiation-induced sarcoma, and metastatic disease-is crucial in diagnosis and treatment of these entities. In addition, familiarity with the range of benign palpable postmastectomy processes-including fat necrosis, fat graft, seroma, granuloma, neuroma, fibrosis, and infection-may help avoid unnecessary biopsies and reassure patients. The authors review common and rare benign and malignant palpable masses in mastectomy patients, describe multimodality diagnostic imaging evaluation of each entity, review radiologic and pathologic correlation, and acquaint the radiologist with management when these findings are encountered. ©RSNA, 2021.
