![]() ![]() A proximal malignancy was found, and the left mainstem bronchus stented, unsuccessfully.Ħ8 year old ICU patient has an Xray at 2:30pm to check tube position. White out of the left lung with mediastinal shift are noted on the scout film (top left) and the axial images confirm complete collapse of the left lung with a large effusion. The occlusion is likely due to proximal cancerĪshley Davidoff MD 104Lu Left Lung Collapse and Large Effusion s/p StentĨ2-year-old female with dyspnea presents with an obstructing lesion of the left main stem bronchus and total atelectasis of the left lung and associated effusion. Occluded right main step bronchus(top right image)associated with a A pigtail drain has been placed to drain the effusionĪshley Davidoff MD 104Lu Occluded Main Stem Bronchus, Atelectasis of the Right Lung, and Pleural Effusionĥ9F shows total collapse of right lung with an The occlusion is likely due to proximal cancer. Occluded right main step bronchus associated with a The left atrium is compressed (maroon arrowhead, d)Īshley Davidoff MD Occluded Main Stem Bronchus, Atelectasis of the Right Lung, and Pleural Effusionĥ9F shows total white out caused by collapse of right lung with an There is a dense sediment in the pleural fluid (red arrowhead, d) suggesting blood in the pleural cavity. The effusion in the right pleural cavity with atelectatic lung herniates into the left hemithorax, (white arrowhead, c). Among the structures showing venous distension are the SVC (blue arrowhead, a) right sided upper limb veins (blue arrowhead b) and the left upper pulmonary veins (red arrowhead, b. In addition, there is compression of the heart with back up of venous return due the pressure effect on the heart and vascular structures. CT scan shows a large right pleural effusion under pressure, with mediastinal shift to the right. The lateral examination shows silhouetting of the right hemidiaphragm.Īshley Davidoff MD 106Lu Lung Cancer, Tension Hydrothorax, and AtelectasisĨ5-year-old female with a history of lung cancer, presents with a dyspnea and hypotension. CXR shows “white out” of the right hemithorax with pressure effect characterised by narrowing of the distal trachea cardio-mediastinal shift and atelectasis in the left lower lobe. ![]() Lung Cancer, Tension Hydro/Hemothorax, and AtelectasisĨ5-year-old female with a history of lung cancer, presents with a dyspnea and hypotension. ![]()
