[...]. Mitral Valve Endocarditis and Unilateral Lung Edema. CTICases. Published August 5, 2016. https://str-case-explorer.pages.dev/c/45rwd
Imaging findings
The patient exhibited unilateral interstitial pulmonary edema on the right side. This was associated with findings of infective endocarditis on the mitral valve, leading to mitral regurgitation.
Key takeaways
Unilateral pulmonary edema, particularly in the right upper lobe, is a classic sign of severe mitral valve regurgitation resulting from acute endocarditis.
