Imaging findings
High-resolution chest CT demonstrates diffuse, confluent ground-glass opacities and areas of consolidation. Conspicuous thickening of the interlobular septa and peribronchovascular bundle thickening are visible throughout the lung parenchyma.
Key takeaways
Pulmonary edema can present with a mix of ground-glass opacities, septal thickening, and peribronchial cuffing that can occasionally mimic acute interstitial pneumonitis or other acute interstitial lung diseases. Multiplanar reconstructions and clinical correlation of fluid status help confirm the diagnosis.
