Clinical presentation:
Premature delivery of a girl at 30 weeks who rapidly became cyanosed after a good initial assessment. The infant was distressed and there was visible intercostal recession on breathing.
There is lung opacification, "white-out", of both lungs with an air-bronchogram and visible extensive nodularity.
The lungs show interstitial emphysema, particularly on the right side. The periphery of both lungs retains an extensive fine nodular appearance. There is a pleural drain in-situ, following an earlier pneumothorax.
Clinical presentation:
Different case, no detail.
The right lung is almost completely opacified with a fine nodularity. The right hemidiaphram is indistinct. There is some early peri-hilar interstitial emphysema. This is more extensive on the left side, where the left lung is completely involved.
Clinical presentation:
Born prematurely, respiratory distress treated 3 weeks earlier.
There is an endotracheal tube in-situ. The view is not in full inspiration. The right lung shows some nodularity and air-filled bronchi. The left lung shows multiple air-spaces that seem to have thick walls.
