Question 1

Accepted Answer

: The major artery (aorta) in the chest is dilated and has mild deposits of lipid (fat in it. These findings should be co-related with any symptoms by the cardiologist

Question 2

what is aneurysmal dilatation of the aorta ?

Accepted Answer

Aneurysm: Ballooning of the aorta more than one and half times normal size . In abdominal aorta where it's most common location usually above 3 cm in diameter is called abdominal aortic aneurysm or aaa.

Question 3

there is fusiform aneurysmal dilation of 2 cm segment of extrahepatic proper hepatic
artery, measuring 7 mm in maximal diameter ..plain english please?

Accepted Answer

Keep your next appt: Due to weakness in the wall of that particular artery, the wall balloons out (aneurysm) &amp; it's diameter is 7mm. The main risk it can cause to your health is rupture &amp; subsequent bleeding. Rupture is more likely if you had multiple ones (you don't), if it was not caused by atherosclerosis (check with your doc), &amp; if you're having pain. Keep your next appointment for follow up. Hope that helps.

Question 4

what to do if i did scan and it says there is mild calyceal fullness/dilatation seen in the lift kidney(?

Accepted Answer

Likely nothing: The calyces of the kidney fill with urine and drain down the ureter into the bladder. Sometimes they are filled with urine and sometimes they are empty. CT scans and ultrasounds see the kidney in one moment in time. Your calyces were most likely normally filled with urine.

Question 5

what is mild intra and extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation?

Accepted Answer

Widened biliary duct: This term comes from the radiologist and GI doctors who look for a dilated biliary duct as evidence of obstruction or blockage of the biliary duct. The intra- and extra- descriptors just refer to where along the rout of the duct they notice the dilation.

Question 6

ercp done, post procedure was sod2p w/mild pancreatic duct dilatation. ? does sod2p mean? they did a stent also.

Accepted Answer

Probably : that abbreviation probably refers to sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, type 2, which is an abnormal squeezing of the sphincter at the end of the bile duct. It sounds like your endoscopist treated it with a stent. Hopefully that will help. Good luck.

Question 7

bth fallopian tube shw mild dilatation of d distal 3rd due 2 fimbrail adhesions with forced peritoneal spillage in keeping with bilateral patent tubes?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Mild dilation and fimbrail adhesions and forced peritoneal spillage all are evidence of tubal infection.  This will put you at high risk for ectopic pregnancy.  When you get pregnant you need to be watched closely.
