Recent Treatment

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common connective tissue disorder affecting the synovial joints. In patients with RA, involvement of the lungs occurs in 30%–40% of cases while pleural effusions occur in only 3%–5%. However, the majority of RA-associated pleural effusions are small, unilateral and asymptomatic. We present a case of massive bilateral pleural effusions in a patient with established rheumatoid pneumoconiosis (Caplan syndrome). Interestingly, the pleural effusion occurred following recent treatment for minimal change disease and atrial fibrillation.

Content Type

✓ The authors report a case of a 45-year-old woman with pulsatile tinnitus who was found to have an unusual spontaneous fistula between the petrous internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein. The fistula resolved spontaneously, possibly related to daily manual compression of the ipsilateral common carotid artery. The patient also had a contralateral carotid artery dissection, multiple intracranial arachnoid cysts, and hemifacial atrophy. Her medical history was significant for easy bruisibility, abnormal scarring, and mitral valve prolapse. This association appears unique and may represent a previously undescribed generalized connective tissue disorder.
