A Rare Case of Pseudo-Mirizzi Syndrome Presenting With Acute-on-Chronic Cholecystitis and Hepatic Abscesses.

Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is an uncommon cause of gallstone disease caused by calculous cholecystitis resulting in extrinsic obstruction of the common bile duct, causing concurrent obstructive jaundice. An acalculous variant of MS, at times referred to as pseudo-MS, occurs even more rarely. We present the case of a patient who was found to have pseudo-MS complicated by several hepatic microabscesses.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection: A review of medical management approaches.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an underdiagnosed cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that usually presents in young female patients. Risk factors include female sex, physical and emotional stressors, and fibromuscular dysplasia, and diagnosis is usually made by coronary angiography aided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT). While conservative treatment is usually preferred over percutaneous coronary intervention or surgery, medical management of SCAD has been under debate.
