Case 335.

An 84-year-old female patient presented for routine CT angiography (CTA) of the arteries of the neck following right carotid endarterectomy for 75% stenosis, which had been performed without incident 2 months prior.

Enterolith Migration From a Jejunal Diverticulum Resulting in Jejunal Perforation.

Proximal jejunal enteroliths, a rare form of small bowel pathology, involve calculi formation within the proximal ileum, leading to complications such as bowel obstruction and perforation. Due to their rarity and nonspecific presentation, enteroliths pose diagnostic and management challenges for clinicians. A 73-year-old male with a history of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth was admitted with acute abdominal pain, small bowel obstruction, and hypovolemic haemorrhagic shock.

The use of virtual reality and augmented reality in ultrasound education, a narrative review of the literature.

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) and augmented reality (AR) are emerging technologies with significant potential in ultrasound education. IVR, utilizing head-mounted devices (HMDs), and AR, enhancing real-world views with digital overlays, have demonstrated their value in various educational and training scenarios. This narrative review examines the use of IVR and AR in ultrasound education, evaluating their effectiveness compared to traditional methods.
