A 63-year-old man was admitted because of sudden transient consciousness disturbance and left-side hemiparesis 110 minutes after the onset. Typical symptoms of aortic dissection, such as chest pain, back pain, neck pain, laterality of blood pressure or hypotension were not found. Brain magnetic
Detection of acute renal infarction is often delayed or missed because of both the rarity of the disease and its nonspecific clinical presentation. Abrupt onset of low-back pain in a patient at high risk for a thromboembolic event may be the first indication of renal infarction. We report a case of
As hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia become more widespread, the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has also increased.1 Traditionally those with multiple comorbidities - also those with greatest AAA mortality - were considered too high risk for operative repair. In recent
A 56-year-old male experienced an anterolateral myocardial infarction and was readmitted to our department at the age of 57 for treatment of his effortive back pain. A chest X-ray disclosed that his cardiac silhouette was slightly enlarged and he was diagnosed by angiography as having a
Nontraumatic intracranial subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) attributable to the thoracolumbar dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) has been extremely rare. A 41-year-old male patient was admitted with severe acute headache, neck stiffness, and pronounced low-back pain radiating to both legs. The
A 61-year-old woman who suddenly manifested chest and back pain was admitted after the diagnosis of acute type A dissection complicated with acute inferior myocardial infarction at another hospital. While being transported to our hospital by ambulance, her ECG repeatedly demonstrated ventricular
Spinal cord infarction is a rare condition and is easily misdiagnosed owing to its initial non-specific manifestation. We report a case of a 77-year-old man who presented with chest pain and upper back pain initially, and was misdiagnosed with a myocardial infarction. Four hours after admission, he
BACKGROUND
Lacunar infarction (LI) is an ischemic stroke subtype with unique clinical, radiological and pathological features. Its relation to other stroke subtypes is unclear. To better understand the underlying pathological process of LI, we compared the risk factors of LI with those of other
A73-year-old man with a history of bronchial asthma and atrial fibrillation was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea and back pain. Blood analysis revealed a marked increase in total blood cell and eosinophil counts. The creatine kinase and creatine kinase-MB increased slightly. The ECG
Severe, prolonged back pain was observed in 2 patients following lumbar artery embolization with Gelfoam for angiomatous spinal lesions. Dense, persistent staining of the paravertebral muscles with a characteristic striated pattern and elevated levels of creatine phosphokinase suggested muscle
OBJECTIVE
To describe sex differences in symptom presentation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) while controlling for differences in age and other potentially confounding factors.
BACKGROUND
Although several studies have examined sex differences in diagnosis, management, and survival after
