Namaste,
My Humanities in Medicine DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion family,
Dr. Watson here for this week’s Humanities in Medicine DEI Weekly Wrap Up!
For the purpose of satisfying NSF, or National Science Foundation, STEM educational requirements under EHR Racial Equity, ITEST, AISL, MCA, NIH, CDC, and DOE CR-S, or Culturally Responsive Sustaining Education.
In this episode, I would like to share an interesting case study of the medical phenomenon caput medusae, a physiologic sign of portal hypertension.
A 2020 article by Dr. Ayad Ahmad Mohammed:
“Caput Medusae sign; a unique finding during abdominal examination in patients with portal hypertension; a case report.”
Caput medusae refers to the physiologic appearance of superficial epigastric veins, becoming visible at and radiating from the umbilicus, and traversing across the abdomen. The term literally means head of medusa, likening this physical manifestation to the venomous snakes in place of hair on the head of the mythological gorgon.
