Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses a rare case of a 38-year-old female with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, experiencing severe angina due to multiple coronary microfistulae and a myocardial bridge.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through various tests, including an electrocardiogram and CT coronary angiography, which revealed specific abnormalities like left ventricular enlargement and a left anterior descending artery myocardial bridge.
  • The conclusion highlights that in cases of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, angina may result from unusual factors like coronary artery fistulae or myocardial bridges, and CT coronary angiography is recommended for effective screening and treatment planning.

Takayasu arteritis and spondyloarthritis are two rheumatological diseases whose co-existence is well-documented in the literature. Data on the presence of inflammatory back pain in Takayasu arteritis without a diagnosis of spondyloarthritis, however, is scarce. Here, we present a 33-year-old man who was admitted to the emergency department with acute-onset chest pain associated with left carotidynia, carotid bruit, and left arm claudication, normal electrocardiogram and computed tomography angiographic features suggesting Takayasu arteritis, including stenosis and occlusion of the aorta and its branches.

This case report describes the imaging findings of an older-aged male presenting with infectious respiratory symptoms. Evaluation with routine contrast-enhanced CT of the chest demonstrated pulmonary artery filling defects initially treated as a pulmonary embolism. However, short-term repeat imaging during pulmonary angiographic and delayed phases demonstrated retrograde filling through a systemic arterial-pulmonary arterial shunt.

Introduction: Cystic artery pseudoaneurysm rupture presents a rare yet potentially fatal aetiology for upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleed. While uncommon, its incidence has been rising with increased hepatobiliary surgical interventions, predominantly attributed to iatrogenic injury and rarely secondary to acute cholecystitis. Clinical manifestations typically include epigastric pain, upper GI haemorrhage, and obstructive jaundice.
