Kathleen Elizabeth Jacobs MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Paul Stark MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

Unilateral pulmonary edema is a common cause of uniteral lung opacification and recognition of this entity is important for determining patient management This presentation will review the etiologies of unilateral pulmonary edema and underlying pathophysiology Select cases will be shown to highlight the radiologic appearance and natural progression of unilateral pulmonary edema Additional differential considerations for unilateral lung opacification will also be discussed

1. Objectives Explore etiologies of unilateral pulmonary edema Discuss pathogenesis and natural progression of each entity Review differential considerations for unilateral lung opacification 2. Pulmonary Edema Ispilateral to Abnormality Reexpansion pulmonary edema Acute rejection post lung transplantation Reimplantation response post lung transplantation Unilateral pulmonary vein occlusion Pulmonary contusion Aspiration Bronchial obstruction Prolonged lateral decubitus position Acute mitral regurgitation 3. Pulmonary Edema Contralateral to Abnormality Left ventricular failure and unilateral lung disease Pulmonary thromboembolism Proximal interruption of the pulmonary arteries 4. Differential: Unilateral Diffuse Lung Opacification
