Echo Case Library
Our Echo Case Library has image, video, and non-image echo cases. Cases are intended to encourage critical thinking — not just in image review, but also in clinical history, clinical scenarios, and outcomes.
Fetal Echo: Heterotaxy Syndrome (Polysplenia) with Left Isomerism and AVD
This case describes a fetus with heterotaxy syndrome (polysplenia type), featuring left isomerism, a complete atrioventricular septal defect, and bilateral superior vena cava. Anomalous pulmonary venous return is also suspected.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Cirrhotic Liver
This case focuses on the ultrasound appearance of hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with known cirrhosis. It highlights key features for diagnosis and surveillance.
Abdominal Aorta POCUS for Acute Abdominal Pain: Identifying Aortic Aneurysm
This case focuses on using POCUS to evaluate the abdominal aorta in a patient presenting with acute abdominal pain. The primary goal is to identify or exclude an abdominal aortic aneurysm as a potential cause.
Complex Cystic Mass: Distinguishing from Complicated Cysts and BI-RADS 4A
This case highlights the sonographic features that differentiate a complex cystic mass from a complicated cyst. It explains why such lesions warrant a higher BI-RADS classification and often require biopsy.
Monitoring Axillary Lymph Nodes Post-Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
This case focuses on the ultrasound assessment of axillary lymph nodes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), specifically looking for residual disease. It highlights the importance of changes in cortical thickness and hilum status.
Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Screening
This case focuses on the screening and grading of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in a patient with multiple cardiovascular risk factors.
Acute Placental Abruption with Fetal Distress in Third Trimester
This case illustrates the sonographic findings of a significant placental abruption in a patient presenting with acute abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. It emphasizes the critical role of ultrasound in rapid diagnosis and management.
Sudden Onset Pelvic Pain with Prior Ovarian Cyst
This case involves a patient with acute pelvic pain and a known ovarian cyst. Ultrasound is critical to differentiate between ovarian torsion and other causes of acute pain, such as cyst rupture.
Fetal Coarctation of Aorta with Ventricular Disproportion
This case describes a fetus with suspected coarctation of the aorta presenting with ventricular disproportion and abnormal Doppler findings. It highlights the importance of detailed fetal echo for diagnosis and management.
Lactational Abscess with Cellulitis
This case demonstrates the sonographic findings of a lactational breast abscess complicated by surrounding cellulitis. It emphasizes the role of ultrasound in diagnosis and guiding drainage.
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) Screening
This case demonstrates the sonographic findings of ADPKD in a patient with a family history. It emphasizes diagnostic criteria for early detection.
Fetal Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) on Second Trimester Anatomy Scan
This case illustrates the sonographic features of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome identified during a routine fetal anatomy survey. Key findings include a small or absent left ventricle and aorta, and a disproportionately larger right ventricle.
