چکیده
A 69-year-old woman with a history of valve replacement for her aortic stenosis presented with the chief complaint of left arm pain, fever, chills, and fatigue. No recent dental procedures had been performed. However, she had undergone a colonoscopy for gastrointestinal bleeding 2 months prior to this visit. Her physical examination was notable for pyrexia, a left forearm ecchymosis, and a pulsatile 3-cm swelling on the ulnar aspect of her arm. An ED-based ultrasound was performed, and a confirmatory study by radiology was obtained.
