Case
Summary
Diagnosis: Air Bronchogram
Clinical hints:
This classic x-ray sign is seen with any air space process,
such as infection, blood, edema, aspiration, protein or tumor.
Radiological Pearls:
- identifies air space disease
- does not indicate etiology
- its absence less helpful
- may be seen on abdominal films
Films were kindly provided by Dr. W. J. Weiser.
