*️⃣Lipoid pneumonia*️⃣
Lung disease caused by fat accumulation that produces chonic inflammation
Two types:Endogenous and exogenous
Exogenous lipoid pneumonia is caused by aspiration of fatty or oil substances (laxatives in this case)

These frontal & lateral views belong to a patient with a history of lung cancer which presented with a newly developed dyspnea. Considering the patient’s history and CXR findings,what is the most likely cause of the elevation of the right hemidiaphragm?

Hint👉 I wanted to discuss about this subject and I incidentally encountered this case! Honestly speaking it's not complicated case ,but the question is worthy of noticing!
So do you think atelectasis of the R.U lobe is the main culprit?The answer based on many references is Not!

🛑Answer part 1
Phrenic nerve paralysis is a common cause of elevation of one side of the diaphragm.
👉Take home message:
The combination of a lung or mediastinal mass and elevation of the diaphragm strongly suggests phrenic nerve paralysis.
Eventration is a different entity!

#WetreadCoW Case 6 Answer: Continuous Diaphragm sign of Pneumomediastinum
The heart rests on the medial diaphragms, so normally they are silhouetted out. When we see them (blue arrows) it means there is air between the heart and diaphragm @chestcases #FOAMed #errad #chestrad

This can be seen with pneumomediastinum or pneumopericardium.
There is a more subtle lucency about the high left heart border (yellow arrow) which is also consistent with pneumomediastinum.
These findingscan be difficult to see on CXRs, esp when not involving the neck/axilla.

Let go through them. Correct ones first.
ETT - tip below the thoracic inlet and >2cm above carina ✅
GI tube - tip/side port below GE junction (hard to see but I think so)✅
Mediastinal drain ✅
Right chest tube x 2✅ (No pneumothorax)
I'm not @radiologistpage but I try 🤣

Original tweet:
L infrahilar mass - Does NOT obscure L heart border (blue) but does obscure aortic border (red - dashed lines being expected course and dark red line outlining mass).
Hilum overlay sign apparent as we still see hilar vessels through the mass (orange), ie mass is not the hilum

How about the lateral? While there may be some artistic license here, it suggests enlargement of the mid-descending thoracic aorta

Answer: Thrombophlebitis of the left bracheocephalic vein with mediastinitis (variant of Lemierre's syndrome)
New X-ray: widening of the upper mediastinum. Can we be more specific? Did you go with aortic etiology?

#WetreadCow #FOAMrad #FOAMed #radres #errad #chestrad #Neurorad
We can see on our current exam that the contour of the aortic silhouette (red arrow) is maintained thus it should not be adjacent to the aorta. If fact it actually obscures the left subclavian artery silhouette (yellow arrows) so it has to be in the anterior mediastinum.

CT shows that plus bilateral pulmonary emboli. In hindsight maybe there is left vascular redistribution and maybe some lower lobe oligemia? Not that I would call on the front end 😀
