COVID-19 infection is associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury, but the imaging changes of the kidneys are not fully investigated yet. We report the computed tomography findings in a 17-year-old male who developed severe reversible renal impairment. Those findings are similar to the changes observed in patients with vasculitis and can be contributed to the thromboembolic manifestations associated with corona virus infection.
Congenital aneurysm of the right atrial appendage is a rare cardiac anomaly with only a few reported cases in the literature. Most of the cases involved adults in their third decade of life. We report a case of congenital aneurysm of the right atrial appendage in a newborn, who initially presented with jaundice and incidentally discovered systolic murmur. The diagnosis was established by enhanced CT scan of the chest and echocardiography that also showed atrial septal defect (ASD) and multiple ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Because of its rare occurrence, diagnosis is difficult and the symptoms may be confused with other causes of right atrial dilation such as Ebstein's anomaly.
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.
