Where does the hernia sac usually lie in a femoral hernia?
Medial to the common femoral vein
Femoral hernias occur below the inguinal ligament.
What type of hernias are umbilical and spigelian hernias?
Abdominal hernias
These hernias occur in the abdominal region.
Where does a direct inguinal hernia occur?
Superior to the inguinal ligament and inferior and medial to the inferior epigastric artery origin
This location is significant for diagnosing inguinal hernias.
What is the weak area of the abdominal wall that is common for direct hernia formation?
Hesselbach Triangle
The Hesselbach Triangle is a clinically relevant area in hernia assessments.
What are the two types of inguinal hernias mentioned?
Indirect and direct
These types of inguinal hernias have different anatomical locations.
In a hernia location diagram, which artery and vein are found laterally?
External Iliac Artery & Vein
These vessels are located on the lateral side in hernia assessments.
In a hernia location diagram, which artery and vein are found medially?
Inferior Epigastric Artery & Vein
These vessels are positioned medially in relation to hernia types.
Fill in the blank: A direct inguinal hernia occurs ______ to the inguinal ligament.
superior
Understanding the location helps in clinical diagnosis.
True or False: The common femoral artery and vein are located medially in a hernia location diagram.
False
The common femoral artery and vein are located in a central position in relation to other structures.
What is Peliosis Hepatis?
Peliosis Hepatis is a rare vascular condition that causes multiple blood filled cavities throughout the liver parenchyma.
What conditions and factors are associated with Peliosis Hepatis?
Peliosis Hepatis is associated with chronic wasting disorders, renal and liver transplantation, many drugs (especially anabolic steroids), and HIV.
What imaging findings are associated with Peliosis Hepatis?
Multiple anechoic areas of varying size and echogenicity are demonstrated throughout the liver parenchyma. No internal flow is identified within the areas.
What is another name for Kasabach-Merritt syndrome?
Hemangioma thrombocytopenia syndrome.
In which population is Kasabach-Merritt syndrome typically seen?
Infants with large hemangiomas.
What causes significant thrombocytopenia in Kasabach-Merritt syndrome?
Sequestration and destruction of platelets within the large cavernous hemangioma.
What are the visible cutaneous lesions associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome?
Blue or reddish-brown lesions usually present on the extremities.
What additional symptoms can be identified in Kasabach-Merritt syndrome?
Hepatomegaly or jaundice.
What should be evaluated if skin lesions are present with significant thrombocytopenia?
The liver and spleen for related hemangioma formation.
What is schistosomiasis associated with?
Schistosomiasis is associated with contaminated water that contains fluke parasites and they obstruct portal circulation.
Who is commonly affected by candidiasis?
Candidiasis is commonly seen in immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or a recent transplant.
What are amebic abscesses associated with?
Amebic abscesses are associated with protozoan parasites found in contaminated water and typically reside in the liver tissue near the dome.
