All right. Let's go to the next case moving right along.
0:03
Let's pull it up. And here's a little bit more of a a general
0:06
chess case as well as a cardiac case
0:09
and I'll start from the top and I want you to take a careful look notice
0:12
how this is a non contrast CTE now
0:15
scroll down through the heart.
0:20
And you can see something odd going on with the herd.
0:23
I'll scroll back up.
0:30
Okay, and let's open the polling questions now and see
0:33
what people think about the
0:36
Abnormality, where is the most significant abnormality
0:39
here?
0:46
All right, just take one or two more seconds to finish
0:49
up.
0:54
Okay, let's close that poll and see what people think.
0:58
Okay. So everyone who voted said pericardium and
1:01
that's that's great because what we're seeing here and
1:04
the clue is the look both
1:07
the location of the heart and the orientation the heart notice
1:10
how the heart looks like. It's rotated in the clockwise
1:13
Direction. It's sort of being diverted toward.
1:16
The left side is rotate toward the
1:19
left or clockwise. If you come up you notice another
1:22
Telltale sign here. Let me go to the one windows.
1:27
You notice that there is lung here where you
1:30
will not notice long on any other scan between the
1:33
aorta and the pulmonary artery insinuating itself
1:36
right there. And that's a Telltale sign
1:39
of this condition or not even condition. But
1:42
variant this is absence of
1:45
partial absence of the pericardium. You
1:48
can see that the pericardium is present on
1:51
the right side, but we don't see a complete pericardium
1:54
on the left side. You can see wispy things
1:57
here, but there's nothing that looks like a normal territorium. So
2:00
this is an congenital abnormality partial absence
2:04
of the pericardium. It leads to this
2:07
sort of leftward rotation of the heart and can
2:10
lead to a very abnormal chest ready graph and I have
2:13
a reconstruction of this radiograph the
2:16
CT that looks like a pseudo radiograph right here.
2:19
You can see that it has these so cold Snoopy Dog
2:22
appearance of the heart that is rotated in
2:25
a
2:27
A leftward direction sort of clockwise rotation
2:30
and it looks somewhere like Snoopy the
2:33
mouth of Snoopy in the ears of Snoopy ears. So
2:36
remember that the larger the
2:39
defect of the pericardium the less likely it is
2:42
to cause any sort of significant abnormality like
2:45
herniation. So when you have
2:48
small defects in the hurting them, they're either surgically created
2:51
or congenital parts of the heart can
2:54
actually herniate on commonly or rarely through
2:57
those defects. But when you have large gapsulin pericardium
3:00
that of course is not as likely to
3:03
happen. So larger defects are actually less likely
3:06
to encounter complications like herniation so
3:09
good. So partial absence of the pericardium was
3:12
that case
