The patient was healthy until 4 weeks prior (mid-July 2012) to her transfer, when she developed sudden-onset abdominal pain, right flank pain, and anorexia (Figure 1). Evaluation at a local emergency department, including an abdominal ultrasound, was reportedly normal. The impression was possible renal colic and constipation. She was discharged with acetaminophen and stool softener. Approximately 3 weeks later, she presented to a local clinic with progressive general and lower extremity weakness, left-eye blurry vision, cough, chest congestion, and palpitations. She was diagnosed with viral syndrome and given eye drops. Three days later, her symptoms worsened. She developed dyspnea and bilateral blurry vision. She was rushed to the emergency department, where she was hypertensive (blood pressure [BP] 180-200/130 mm Hg), tachycardic (150 beats/minute), and diaphoretic.
