Chest pain is one of the common complaints encountered in clinical practice. Multiple diseases present as chest pain and often the etiology can be challenging to diagnose. Among the cardiac causes, coronary artery dissection is one of the life-threatening conditions and is often misdiagnosed as an acute coronary syndrome because of its similar presentation. In this case report, we will share a case of coronary artery dissection, which was initially managed as a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. We will share the modalities used to diagnose spontaneous coronary artery dissection and how the management differs between acute coronary syndrome and spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic commonly used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia and has a well-known role in analgesia. However, it also has the potential for addiction, which can lead to neurological, psychological, systemic, and biochemical consequences. In this case report, we are highlighting a rare case of a young Asian female with Ketamine addiction who presented with urinary complaints. The patient was found to have hyponatremia and laboratory tests were consistent with a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) release in the absence of other causes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
