Q

Esophageal diverticulum

A
  • Zenker - (posterosuperior - above cricopharyngeus) pulsion divirticulum posteriorly via site of weakness called Killian dehisence in the hypopharynx
  • Killian-Jamieson - anterolateral and more inferior (below cricopharygneus), this one is in the cervical esophagus; least common
    • Pulsion diverticulum are Pseudodiverticuli (i.e. don’t have all three layers of esophagus and therefore won’t empty).
  • Traction diverticulum - mid esophagus, triangular in shape, TB, will empty since it is a true diverticulum

Q

Femoral v Direct Inguinal v Indirect Inguinal Hernias

(also obturator)

A
  • Femoral: seen in old ladies, infeior to the inferior epigastric and medial to common femoral vein, below the pubic tubercle; compression of the femoral vein can cause distal collateral venous engorgement; obstruction is common
    • obturator will have bowel herniating between obturator and pectineus muscle).
  • Direct = medial and anterior to inferior epigastric - goes through Hesselbach’s triangle, not covered by spermatic
  • Indirect goes Into the Inguinal canal/lateral to the inferior epigastric artery and into a patent processus vaginalis.
17
Q

Most common types of internal hernias

A

Paraduodenal hernia in the left occurs through a defect via the fossa of Lanzert (L for L) this one is more common

right sided - goes through fossa of waldeyer

18
Q

What do you think of when you have an enlarged lymph node in the setting of ulcerative colitis

A

cancer/metastatses

19
Q

Behcet’s

A

ulcers of penis and mouth

can hit GI and look like crohn’s

cause of pulmonary artery aneursyms

20
Q

What syndromes are associated with rectal cavernous hemangiomas?

A

Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber and Blue Rubber Bleb syndrome

21
Q

McKittrick-Wheelock Syndrome

A

Villous andeoma in the rectum with mucous diarrhea (usually in an old lady causing electrolyte imbalances/dehydration).

22
Q

retroperitoneal structures

A
  • Duodenum (2nd and 3rd part)
  • Pancreas (except tail)
  • Colon (ascending and descending)
  • Rectum (proximal 1/3)
    • distal 1/3 if the rectum is intraperitoneal
23
Q

Mesenteric mass algorithm

A
  1. Cystic versus Solid
  2. Single versus multiple
    1. If single - does it have fat?
    2. If it doesn’t have fat what do the margins look like?
24
Q

Fissure for the ligamentum venosum

Fissure for the ligamentum teres

A
  • Fissure for the ligamentum venosum: Fibrous remnant of the ductus venosus fetal circululation (closer one to the IVC - relative tot the ligamentum teres). An artery in this fissure is a replaced left hepatic artery.
  • Fissure for the ligamentum teres - ligamentum teres (which is found within the falciform ligament) = round ligament of the liver, which is the remnant of the left umbilical vein. . the left hepatic vein also courses here and slits the caunaid system (4a/2 and 4b/3)
25
Q

Cantlie’s Line

A

Liver lobe line. . . divides the liver into functional left and right hepatic lobes (8/4a and 5/4b)

26
Q

Couinaud System Testable Trivia

Left hepatic vein / Fissure for Ligamentum Teres (falciform) divides what segments?

Middle hepatic vein divides what segments?

Right hepatic vein divides what segments?

Portal vein devides what?

What segment is the caudate lobe? where does it drain?

A
  • Left hepatic vein / Fissure for Ligamentum Teres (falciform) divides 2 from 4a and 3 from 4b)
  • Middle hepatic vein divides 4a from 8 and 4b from 5 (Cantlie’s line)
  • Right hepatic vein divides 8 from 7 and 5 from 6
  • Portal vein divides liver from upper and lower segments
  • What segment is the caudate lobe = 1 and drains directly into IVC
27
Q

Most common hepatic vascular variant?

Most common biliary variant?

A
  • Most common hepatic vascular variant = replaced right hepatic originating from SMA
  • Most common biliary variant = right posterior segmental into the left hepatic duct
28
Q

Hepatic adenoma subtypes

A
  • Inflammatory = most common; highest bleeding rate
  • HNF-1 alpha mutated - 2nd most common; multiple masses
  • Beta-catenin mutated = least common; anabolic steroids and glycogen storage disorders and FAP.
29
Q

  • Type 4: both intra and extra
  • Type 5: intra only = caroli’s disease

increased co-incidence of gallbladder CA

35
Q

    • > 4 weeks = pseudocyst
  • Necrosis
