Imaging findings
The patient demonstrated bilateral hydrostatic lung edema and pleural effusions. The etiology was identified as aortic valve endocarditis with severe regurgitation, complicated by evidence of systemic embolic disease.
Key takeaways
Aortic valve endocarditis can lead to rapidly progressive heart failure and pulmonary edema. Retrosternal curly C lines are a specific, though subtle, sign of interstitial edema to look for on lateral radiographs.
