Progressive dyspnea associated with a crazy-paving appearance on a chest computed tomography scan. [PDF]

Can Respir J, 2006
A ‘crazy‐paving’ appearance of the lungs on computed tomography scanning of the chest was first described nearly 20 years ago in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and was thought to be characteristic of this condition. However, this pattern has subsequently been reported in a variety of pulmonary diseases and is now considered to be ...

Rare lung disease II: pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. [PDF]

Can Respir J, 2008
The present article is the second in a series on rare lung diseases. It focuses on pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), a disorder in which lipoproteinaceous material accumulates in the alveolar space. PAP was first described in 1958, and for many years the nature of the material accumulating in the lungs was unknown. Major insights into PAP have been
