| Diagnostic Information | |||||
| Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
| This claim arises out of the interpretation of claimant's MRI of 5/10/13 read by Norman Jones, MD. This study was interpreted as having no abnormal enhancement of tumor growth. However, in late May of 2013 due to increased sacral pain, the pt. sought care through the Cleveland Clinic of Florida and the consulting physician ordered a CT scan of the lumbosacral spine which showed recurrence of the chordoma in the surgical bed. | |||||
| Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury | |||||
| Claimant underwent surge3y to resect a sacral chordoma in 2004 after which she was being followed clinically and radiographically on an annual basis. | |||||
| Diagnostic Code : | |||||
| Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
| Claimant contends that due to the misreading of her sacral/coccyx MRI studies the diagnosis of the recurrence of her sacral chordoma was delayed and consequently reduced her treatment options and possible life expectancy. | |||||
| Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
| Alleged delay in the diagnosis of recurrence of sacral chordoma which delay reportedly reduced her treatment options and possibly her life expectancy. | |||||
| Severity Of Injury | |||||
