Basilar Predominant Emphysema: Thinking beyond Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency
Case Reports in Medicine, 2022 Basilar predominant emphysema, or disproportionate emphysematous involvement of the lung bases compared to the apices, is an uncommon radiographic pattern of emphysema traditionally associated with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). We present a case
