Natasha Abernathy is a 52-year old female who presents to the ED with left lower quadrant cellulitis. The patient has an incision site that has opened up and started draining. Patient states she had a venous bypass graft done 9 days ago by Dr. Johnson. She states yesterday she was seen by the home health nurse who became concerned the area was becoming infected as it was necrotic appearing around the incision on the pannus with foul drainage. The patient states she is having diffuse pain all over the abdomen which she rates as a 9/10 and worse with palpation of the abdomen. She admits to fever and chills, nausea.

The patient’s constellation of clinical and laboratory findings is consistent with severe cellulitis. CT scan demonstrates subcutaneous air with no discrete abscess formation. Incision site appears clinically infected. Patient’s laboratory testing revealed elevated WBC and vascular surgery evaluated the patient who recommended admission. Based on the patients age, coexisting illnesses, labs, imaging, and exam findings the decision to treat as an inpatient was made. I discussed my findings with the patient and they understand and agree with the treatment plan. All questions answered. Final Diagnosis: Necrotizing fasciitis Secondary Diagnoses Managed in ER: Hypertensive CKD, stage 5. End Stage renal disease Renal dialysis status. Disposition: Admit to inpatient Electronically Signed By: Lisa Stokely, MD Imaging ReportDate of Service: 06-19-XX Exam: Ct Abdomen /Pelvis Without IV Contrast Without Oral Clinical History: Abdominal wound, pain, drainage, dialysis patient Technique: Upright PA and lateral views of the chest Findings Lines and Devices: Left-sided presumably subclavian to femoral artery stent graft, partially visualized. Liver: Unremarkable. Bile Ducts: Within normal limits post cholecystectomy. Gallbladder: Surgically absent. Pancreas: Unremarkable. Spleen: Splenomegaly is unchanged Adrenals: Unchanged in size and morphology. Kidneys/Ureters: The kidneys are atrophic. There is a stable exophytic lesion arising from the right kidney, likely a cyst. Bladder: Collapsed. Bowel: Diverticulosis of the colon without diverticulitis. Lymph Nodes: Unremarkable. Vessels: Atherosclerotic changes. Reproductive Organs: Status post hysterectomy. Peritoneum/Retroperitoneum: No free fluid or pneumoperitoneum. Abdominal Wall/Soft Tissues: There is diastases of the anterior abdominal wall with a fat containing ventral abdominal wall hernias. There is marked inflammatory stranding and subcutaneous air within the left lower quadrant abdominal wall which partially surrounds the distal aspect of the bypass graft. There is a small amount of non loculated fluid in the left lower quadrant. No discrete loculated collection identified. Bones: There are degenerative changes of the spine with prominent sclerosis of the endplates, as can be seen with hyperparathyroidism. Impression: Subcutaneous inflammatory stranding and fluid within the anterior left lower quadrant abdominal wall without a discrete collection. Findings most likely represent inflammatory phlegmon. Inflammatory changes partially surrounds the subclavian artery to left common femoral artery stent graft. Infection of the stent graft is not excluded. Chronic findings, as above.
