A 71-year-old male presents to the emergency department due to otalgia 

  • Patient complains of constant left ear pain for the past week 
  • Pain is exacerbated by chewing and worse at night. Associated with yellow drainage from the left ear 
  • Past medical history includes hypertension, multiple sclerosis, and type II diabetes mellitus 
  • On examination there is granulation tissue in the external auditory canal. Smoothing of the left side of the brow and flattening of the left nasolabial fold are noted.

What is the most likely diagnosis and its management?

Answer

Diagnosis: Malignant otitis externa
Management: Intravenous antipseudomonal antibiotic

Explanation

Malignant otitis externa is an invasive infection of the external ear and skull base caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa. It mostly affects elderly immunocompromised patients with diabetes mellitus. Malignant otitis externa presents with severe otalgia and otorrhea. The pain is usually worse at night and is exacerbated by chewing. Otoscopic examination often reveals edema and granulation in the external auditory canal. Conductive hearing loss is common. Erythema, edema, and tenderness of the periauricular tissues may be present. Complications of otitis externa include osteomyelitis of the skull base and temporomandibular joint, sinus thrombophlebitis, brain abscess, and meningitis. Cranial nerve involvement occurs in 50% of patients and the facial nerve is most commonly affected. Cranial nerves VI, IX, X, XI, and XII may also be affected. The diagnosis is suspected based on clinical findings and can be confirmed with imaging. Computed tomography (CT) scanning is the preferred imaging modality to assess the extent of infection and presence of bone erosion. All patients should be treated with intravenous antipseudomonal antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin is the initial antibiotic of choice. Alternatives include cefepime, ceftazidime, ticarcillin, and piperacillin-tazobactam. Surgical debridement may be necessary for abscess drainage or removal of bony sequestrum.

Workup : Clinical diagnosis. Culture of ear canal drainage. CT scan to evaluate bone erosion

Management :Intravenous antipseudomonal antibiotics

Miscellaneous :Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the temporal bone can have a similar presentation. If there is suspicion for SCC, bone biopsy is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.

A 50-year-old male presents to the emergency department due to cough 

  • Cough began 4 weeks ago and is productive of thick, foul-smelling sputum 
  • Associated symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, and malaise 
  • Medical history is significant for coronary artery disease, COPD, and alcohol use disorder 
  • Vital signs are T 101.5 F, HR 100/min, BP 128/70 mm Hg, and RR 28/min

Chest X-ray is shown below

What is the most likely diagnosis and its management?

Answer

Diagnosis: Lung abscess
Management: Intravenous antibiotics (ampicillin-sulbactam)

Explanation

Lung abscess is a localized purulent infection of the lung parenchyma. Lung abscess can occur due to hematogenous spread, aspiration, direct extension of local infection, and bronchial obstruction. Risk factors include alcohol abuse, dysphagia, periodontal disease, seizures, drug abuse, immunosuppression, and diabetes mellitus. The clinical presentation of lung abscess is similar to pneumonia although it has a more insidious onset. Symptoms include cough productive of foul-smelling phlegm, fever, chills, and shortness of breath. The diagnosis is made based on clinical findings and imaging. Chest radiographs typically show a cavitary lesion with an air fluid level. Computed tomography (CT) is often performed to evaluate for associated lung pathology such as consolidation, obstruction, and empyema which may not be identified on plain radiographs. Management of lung abscess include supportive care and antibiotics. Initial empiric antibiotics should provide broad coverage that includes anaerobes. Ampicillin-Sulbactam or a carbapenem are appropriate for initial management. Antibiotics may be deescalated once culture results are avail able. If there is inadequate response to antibiotic therapy, drainage of the abscess is required.

Workup : Chest X-ray

Management : Intravenous antibiotics (ampicillin-sulbactam)

Miscellaneous : Other causes of cavitary lung lesions include cavitary tumors, mycobacterial infection, pulmonary infarction, vasculitis, and infected bullae.

  • Results of an ABG taken on admission are as follows:

pCO2: 25 mmHg

HCO3: 18 mmol/L

pO2: 110 mmHg

pH: 7.46

What is the most likely diagnosis and its management?

Answer

Diagnosis: Salicylate toxicity
Management: Fluid resuscitation, IV bicarbonate, and consultation with nephrology for potential hemodialysis.

Explanation

Aspirin, the most commonly used salicylate, is used as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and as an anti-thrombotic medication. Due to its widespread use, accidental or intentional overdoses are not uncommon; there’s approximately 30000 reported cases each year in the United States. Most cases are typically mild and present with tinnitus, vertigo, nausea, and vomiting.

In extreme cases, the mortality rate can reach up to 15% due to the severe metabolic derangements. Aspirin can cause multiple acid base disturbance owing to its unique mechanisms of action. The earliest acid base abnormality seen in aspirin toxicity is a primary respiratory alkalosis. This is caused by aspirins direct effect on the breathing center in the medulla leading to hyperpnea and a drop in pCO2. After this initial disturbance, an anion gap metabolic acidosis usually follows. This is caused by the accumulation of organic acids due to aspirins disruption of multiple metabolic pathways such as the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Due to these two mechanisms, the most common disturbance seen in aspirin overdose is a mixed primary respiratory alkalosis and metabolic anion gap acidosis. The last abnormality that can occur later in the course of acute profound toxicity is respiratory acidosis. Other symptoms that occur in severe toxicity include mental status alterations, pulmonary edema, cerebral edema, hyperthermia, hypovolemia, and hypokalemia.

Aspirin overdose management should always begin with stabilization of the airway, breathing, and circulation. It’s important to note that tracheal intubation should be avoided if possible; the interruption of aspirin induced-hyperpnea, especially the period of apnea during the apnea period of intubation initiation, can dramatically worsen the patient’s respiratory acidosis and central nervous system toxicity. Thus, intubation should be reserved for patients with hypoventilation. Aggressive volume resuscitation is indicated in hypovolemic patients unless there is evidence of pulmonary or cerebral edema. Decontamination with activated charcoal is indicated in patients who present within two hours of ingestion.

The mainstay of aspirin toxicity management is urine and serum alkalization. This is achieved with IV sodium bicarbonate. Potassium should also be administered along with sodium bicarbonate to prevent hypokalemia. Hemodialysis may be indicated if any of the following are present:

  1. Altered mental status 
  2. Pulmonary or cerebral edema
  3. Kidney dysfunction (Cr>176mM or GFR<45 ml/min/1.73m^2 
  4. Ph<7.20 
  5. Salicylate level >7.2mM 
  6. Hypervolemia
  7. Treatment failure

Workup : Diagnosis is established based on clinical presentation and history of ingestion. Salicylate level should be obtained

Management : Fluid resuscitation, IV bicarbonate, and consultation with nephrology for potential hemodialysis

Miscellaneous : Hyperthermia seen in severe salicylate toxicity is caused by uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation

A 4-year-old male is brought to the emergency department after a seizure 

  • Mother states that while playing he collapsed and had jerking movements of the upper and lower extremities 
  • The seizure lasted three minutes and resolved spontaneously prior to presentation 
  • Patient was recently diagnosed with RSV bronchitis and is being managed conservatively 
  • Vitals are T 102.3 F, HR 140 bpm, BP 97/60 mmHg, and RR 24/min
  • On examination he is awake but irritable. There are no focal neurological deficits

What is the most likely diagnosis and its management?

Answer

Diagnosis: Simple febrile seizure
Management: Antipyretics, observation

Explanation

Febrile seizures are relatively common in children under five years of age. Febrile seizure is defined as a convulsion that is associated with a temperature > 100.4 F in a child under five years of age that occurs in the absence of central nervous system (CNS) infection and metabolic abnormalities that can cause convulsions. Febrile seizures are broadly classified as either simple or complex.

Simple febrile seizure:

  • Generalized seizure
  • Duration less than 15 minutes 
  • One episode within a 24-hour period

The most common cause of febrile seizures is infection (viral is more common than bacterial). Patients will often present with signs and symptoms of an upper respiratory illness. Febrile seizure is a clinical diagnosis. Additional workup is generally not necessary in the case of simple febrile seizure if the etiology is known (as in this case). The workup of complex febrile seizures is case dependent and may include a lumbar puncture, neuroimaging, and electroencephalography. Management of simple febrile seizures consists of antipyretics and observation. Benzodiazepines are indicated if seizure activity lasts longer the 5 minutes.

Workup : Clinical diagnosis

Management : Antipyretics

Miscellaneous : Lumbar puncture should be performed in children between 6 and 12 months who have deficient or unknown immunization for Hib or S. Pneumoniae

A 13-year-old male presents to the emergency department after a fall from a tree

  • Fell from a height of approximately 6 feet 4 hours prior to presentation 
  • He landed on his left side and does not recall any head trauma 
  • He complains of pain over the left forearm and left side of the face
  • Examination is remarkable for abrasions over the extremities and face. The left forearm is firm, erythematous, and tender to palpation. Movement of the wrist causes severe forearm pain. The left radial pulse is palpable. Sensation of the left upper extremity is intact.

X-ray of the left forearm is shown below

What is the most likely diagnosis and its management?

Answer

Diagnosis: Compartment syndrome
Management: Fasciotomy

Explanation

Compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency characterized by increased intracompartmental pressure (ICP) within an osteofascial compartment leading to tissue ischemia. Compartment syndrome is most often caused by long bone fractures. Other causes include crush injury, penetrating trauma, animal bits/stings, and constrictive bandages or casts. Compartments of the forearm and leg are most frequently affected; however, it may also occur in the hand, arm, thigh, or foot. As the intracompartmental pressure surpasses the diastolic blood pressure, arteriole and capillary perfusion is restricted and the muscles within the compartment become ischemic. The systolic blood pressure may still be sufficient to force blood through the arteries of the compartment, producing palpable pulses. Loss of distal pulses is a late sign of compartment syndrome and usually indicates severe muscle damage and a poor prognosis. Early signs and symptoms of compartment syndrome include pain out of proportion to the injury, paresthesia, and pain with passive stretch of the muscles in the compartment. Paralysis, pallor, and loss of pulses are late signs. Compartment syndrome is a clinical diagnosis. If available, a manometer can be used to measure the compartment pressure. The delta pressure is calculated by subtracting the measured compartment pressure from the diastolic blood pressure. A delta pressure less than 30 mm Hg is consistent with compartment syndrome. Definitive management of compartment syndrome often requires fasciotomy. If significant muscle damage has already occured, amputation may be necessary.

Workup : Clinical diagnosis, compartment pressure

Management :Fasciotomy

Miscellaneous : The five P’s (pain, pallor, paresthesias, pulselessness, and poikilothermia) of arterial insufficiency are uncommon in compartment syndrome.
