HI,
I had a cardiac cath. on 8/29/06 which
left me with severe abdominal pain,
bloating and nausea. I had a CT of abd.
w/oral and iv contrast which showed a
right pelvic wall hematoma 9x3 cm, and
they incidently found a 2.2x1.6cm
hypodense lesion in the central liver that
demonstrates mild peripheral nodular
enhancement - prob. represents a
hemangioma. Also a proximal 1.0 cm
hypovascular lesion in the anterolateral
periphery of the right lobe - given
hypervascularity it may represent a focal
nodular hyperplasia. My questions are:
1. My severe GI symptoms started right
after catheterization - could the hematoma
have caused these symptoms? I have no
prior history of GI problems.
2. Do I need to follow up with the other
two findings(Hemangioma and FNH)? My
cardiologist that ordered the CT doesn't
seem to think so.
3.My PCP was concerened when he received a
copy of the CT report because I started
running a temp. - around 100 - He ordered
a f/u CT and it showed a RLQ fluid
collection with inflammatory changes and
fat stranding in the region. My PCP put me
on Augmentin for 10 days. Was he just
being cautious or would this be considered
an abscess??
I would greatly appreciate your time and
response.
Thank you.
