| Diagnosis | Septic Pulmonary Embolism | |
| History | Patient is a 53-year-old white female who was found down with altered mental status and is a possible TCA overdose. She was found to be in respiratory distress by EMS and was intubated in the field. Pt has a personal history significant for opioid drug abuse and depression. Family history is significant for diabetes and coronary artery disease. | |
| Findings | CT of the chest w/o contrast shows bilateral pleural effusions with right greater than left and adjacent atelectasis. There are multiple rounded pulmonary nodules in both lungs predominant in the right with focal cavitations. There is also diffuse groundglass opacity and septal thickening in the left upper lobe extending into the left lower lobe. The nodules in the left lung are predominantly in the peripheral left lower lobe. Mildly enlarged mediastinal nodes measuring up to 1.5 cm in short axis are likely reactive. No pericardial effusion. The central airways are patent. Endotracheal tube terminates in the midtrachea. Gastric and feeding tubes extend into the stomach. The visualized upper abdomen is without significant abnormalities. No aggressive bone lesions. | |

| Diagnosis | Thromboembolic Stroke Secondary to Septic Emboli | |
| History | A 32 year old man presents this morning with a new right hemianopsia. | |
| Findings | On T2, there is abnormal increased signal in the medial left occipital lobe. Dark on the ADC and bright on DWI, this is restricted diffusion from cytotoxic edema - consistent with acute cerebral ischemia. The conventional angiogram demonstrates an abrupt cut off of the left PCA that results in decreased perfusion to the left occipital lobe, on the arterial phase images. | |

| Diagnosis | Septic Arthritis, Coccidiomycosis | |
| History | 28 year-old female with history of disseminated coccidiomycosis for four years. | |
| Findings | Plain film: No fracture or dislocation. Large effusion is present. There is a well-defined lesion with dense sclerotic border and with a lucent center within the lateral femoral epicondyle, unchanged from prior films. MRI: Large joint effusion. Heterogenous soft tissue thickening is noted along the synovial lining posterior to the posterior cruciate ligament. There is edema within the soft tissues at the posterior aspect of the knee but no evidence of soft tissue abscess. A 1.7 cm long defect is seen in the lateral femoral condyle. This contains fat signal intensity. There is a mild amount of edema within the proximal tibia at the level of the intercondylar eminence. No evidence of bone abscess. The cruciate and collateral ligaments appear intact. A high signal defect extends through the full thickness of the body of the lateral meniscus at its free edge, and this is compatible with a focal radial tear. No definite tear involving the medial meniscus. | |
