    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Nephrology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Cholesterol crystal embolization originates from ulcerated atheromatous lesions.
    • These emboli can lead to syndromes mimicking common diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cholesterol crystal embolization.
    • To highlight clinical presentations for early diagnosis and treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations of cholesterol emboli.
    • Analysis of case studies and literature.

    Main Results:

    • Cholesterol emboli can manifest as renal failure, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and abdominal pain.
    • Multisystem disease presentation can mimic polymyositis or periarteritis nodosa.
