This month’s image is actually a CT scan. Take a look at the video below.
44yo woman presented to the ED. She just got off a plane from St. Vincents. Her chief complaint was fever, altered mental status and abdominal pain. During the course of her ED visit she had the CT scan shown above which helped with the diagnosis.
This case is a fairly complicated one, so I don’t expect you to get it from just the CT scan. Please post in the comments below with your questions about the case. You can ask for lab tests, more history, physical exam findings, perform an intervention or suggest a diagnosis you think is on the differential.
