CXR Pulmonary Hemorrhage Ground Glass Changes and Consolidation
75-year-old man on blood thinners s/p aortic valve replacement s/p trauma, presents with hemoptysis. He was afebrile and without an elevated white count
CXR shows an elevated right hemidiaphragm and inferior displacement of the major fissure with a dense right upper lobe consolidation. The mass effect on the major fissure likely results from a hematoma, and the hemorrhage results in air bronchograms and groundglass changes.
Skin folds manifest as bilateral pseudo-pneumothoraces. A loop recorder is noted overlying the left upper chest.
