Chapter 11 Noncardiac Chest And Retroperitoneum Flashcards
Enlarged, abnormal lymph nodes tend to deviate from their normal sonographic appearance and become more
Anechoic or hypoechoic
The tissue comprising a lung consolidation can appear sonographically isoechoic to:
The liver
A person who has an inherited bleeding disorder that inhibit the control of blood clotting
Hemophiliac
A pleural effusion that is associated with infection will sonographically appear:
Varying sonographic appearances
______most often accompanies lung consolidation?
Pleural effusion
What patient position is typically required for a thoracentesis?
Upright
Lung consolidation typically appears sonographically as:
Several internal echoes that radiate in a linear pattern because of air within the bronchi
Common locations for abdominal lymph nodes include:
- Mesentery
- Renal hilum
- Along the length of the abdominal aorta
One complication of a thoracentesis that may require a chest radiograph for diagnosis is the development of:
Pneumothorax
_____is a linear muscular section of the diaphragm that attaches to the anterolateral surfaces of the upper lumber vertebrate
Crus of the diaphragm
Enlargement of the abdominal lymph nodes is referred to as:
Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy
Most common sonographic appearance of retroperitoneal fibrosis?
Hypoechoic mass surrounding the aorta
_____is the most likely sonographic appearance of the thymus?
Echogenic mass that contain linear and punctuate echogenicities
Fluid located around the heart is termed:
Pericardial effusion
The diagnosis of a pneumothorax is typically via a(n):
Chest radiograph
Typically, a hematoma appears:
- Hyperechoic
- Hypoechoic
- Complex
______could result from undergoing a throracentesis
Pneumothorax
(Air) (chest)
The diagnostic or therapeutic procedure where fluid is removed from the pleural space is referred to as:
Thoracentesis
(Chest) (surgical puncture)
A mass consisting of abnormal bronchial and lung tissue that develops within the fetal chest best describes:
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation
A separate mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue with its own blood supply describes:
Pulmonary sequestration
Free air within the chest outside the lungs is referred to as:
Pneumothorax
The replacement of normal air-filled alveoli with fluid, inflammation, blood, or neoplastic cells is referred to as:
Lung consolidation
What is the most common location of a retroperitoneal hematoma in hemophiliac patients?
Psoas muscle
Fluid located around the lungs is termed:
Pleural effusion
Where is the thymus located?
Within the mediastinum
The “sandwich” sign denotes:
Abdominal lymphadenopathy
_____muscle would be situated closest to the spine?
Psoas muscle
Abnormal lymph nodes typically measure more than:
10mm
_____is often performed to either determine the origin of the fluid or for therapeutic reasons
Thoracentesis
Fluid accumulation around the lung referred to as:
Pleural effusion
_____is the replacement of normal air-filled alveoli with fluid, inflammation, blood, or neoplastic cells
Lung consolidation
_____denotes abdominal nodes surrounding and compressing the aorta and IVC
“sandwich”’ sign
The enlargement of abdominal lymph nodes greater than ____ in diameter can indicate infection or malignancy such as lymphoma
1cm
The most common location for a retroperitoneal hematoma especially in the hemophiliac patient is:
Within the psoas muscle
_____is the enlargement of the abdominal lymph nodes located within the abdomen
Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy
The development of a fibrous the abdominal aorta, IVC, ureters and sacrum is referred to:
Retroperitoneal fibrosis
Sonographic findings of retroperitoneal fibrosis
- Large, hypoechoic mass surrounding the abdominal aorta
Sonographic findings of a retroperitoneal hematoma
- Depending on the stage of the blood, hematomas may appear hypoechoic, complex, or hyperechoic
Sonographic findings of lung consolidation
- Isoechoic to liver or spleen tissue
- Several internal echoes that radiate in a linear pattern because of air within the bronchi
Clinical findings of a retroperitoneal hematoma
- Hemophilia
- Trauma
- Recent surgery
- Low hematocrit
- Pain
Clinical findings of retroperitoneal fibrosis
- Migraine medication use
- Back pain
- Flank pain
- Weight loss
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Malaise
