A child with respiratory distress having unilateral obstructive emphysema and contralateral opaque hemithorax on chest radiograph: role of multi-detector computerized tomography with multi-planar reconstruction and virtual bronchoscopy

J Debnath et al. Australas Radiol. 2007 Dec.

Abstract

We describe a case of mucus plug in the right main bronchus with ipsilateral obstructive emphysema and contralateral opaque hemithorax in an 18-month-old girl who presented with respiratory distress. The role of multi-detector CT scan with multi-planar reconstructions and virtual bronchoscopy is highlighted.
