Diagnosis: Shock bowel

Average Case-Specific Score: 4.76 / 7

Answer Key

Sample Preliminary Report

Findings concerning for hypoperfusion complex with bowel ischemia including diffuse colonic wall thickening with hypoenhancement, widespread small bowel wall thickening, hyperenhancing adrenal glands, flattened appearance of the IVC, and small caliber of the abdominal aorta and branch vessels. No pneumoperitoneum to suggest bowel perforation. Recommend correlation with serum lactate values.

Cirrhotic liver morphology with findings of portal hypertension including splenomegaly, recannulated paraumbilical vein, and possible paraesophageal varices. Large volume ascites and diffuse mesenteric edema likely relate both to portal hypertension and hypoperfusion complex.

Gallbladder distension with diffuse wall thickening and layering hyperdense material, which may represent sludge or small stones. Findings are favored to relate to a fasting state and generalized intraabdominal edema rather than acute cholecystitis.

Airspace consolidation in the left greater than right lower lobes concerning for aspiration pneumonitis or pneumonia. Small left pleural effusion.

Contrast extravasation in the left arm at the IV site. Recommend arm elevation, placement of cold compresses, and close monitoring for evidence of developing compartment syndrome or skin necrosis.

There is a blush of contrast in the right lower abdomen likely in the cecum with disperse of contrast on delayed imaging, consistent with acute arterial hemorrhage. There is a large amount of hemoperitoneum. spanning the entire length of abdominal cavity.

cdwilson 5

Large volume intraperitoneal fluid. Region of hyperattenuation along the right hemiabdomen that disperses on delayed imaging, concerning for active hemorrhage. Regions of hyperattenuaiton and hypoattenuation of the bowel concerning for bowel ischemia and developing shock bowel.
Lung base opacification and left greater than right pleural effusions.

Madison Crank 5

Diffusely edematous appearance of the large and small bowel with submucosal edema and mural thickening and enhancement. No evidence of perforation. No pneumatosis or portal venous gas. The IVC is slit-like and collapsed, raising concern for hypovolemia with resultant ischemic colitis.

Large volume simple appearing abdominopelvic ascites, as well as interloop fluid and diffuse mesenteric edema.

Patulous fluid-filled esophagus, increasing patient’s risk of aspiration.

Small left and trace right pleural effusions with overlying compressive atelectasis.

Likely small volume sludge in the gallbladder. No evidence of acute cholecystitis.

Foley balloon is inflated in the prostatic urethra rather than the bladder. Recommend repositioning.

Hayden Barrett 5

Not sure what I’d say here. I’d likely suggest hypoperfusion complex. I don’t see active GI hemorrhage or perforated viscus.

stephen.klaassen 5

Findings/impression:
Hyperdensity within the bowel in the right lower quadrant on the delayed phase may represent active GI bleed.
Reactive changes of the bowel are present with wall thickening and hyperenhancement. This may represent shock bowel with the given clinical history.
Large volume fluid is present within the abdomen. Recommend correlation with Hounsfield units.
Fluid is present within the distal esophagus, which places the patient risk of aspiration.
Atelectasis is present in the lower lobes. Small left pleural effusion.
Remote granulomatous disease.
No vascular filling defects are visualized.
No perforation of the stomach or bowel is visualized. No free air is visualized.
