Scoliosis as cause of pulmonary atelectasis
European Respiratory Journal, 1991We present a patients with persistent position-dependent productive cough and intermittent fever. He was first examined at 38 yrs of age. Chest X-ray showed a severe thoracic lordoscoliosis and an atelectasis of the right lower lobe. Bronchography revealed a total stenosis of the right lower lobe bronchus.

Types and Mechanisms of Pulmonary Atelectasis
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1996Atelectasis is one of the most commonly encountered abnormalities in chest radiology and remains a daily diagnostic challenge. At times atelectasis can be overlooked, particularly when pulmonary opacification is minimal or absent, and at other times it might be interpreted as being some other form of intrathoracic pathology, particularly pneumonia.

Bacteriological Studies in Pulmonary Atelectasis
Archives of Surgery, 1963Previous experiments in dogs demonstrated that the fever in experimental atelectasis was caused by sympathetic vasoconstriction stimulated by bacterial infection in the collapsed segment. 1 The tachycardia was also of sympathetic origin, while the tachypnea was caused partly by bacterial infection and partly by the associated decreased arterial oxygen ...

Mechanisms of Fever in Pulmonary Atelectasis
Archives of Surgery, 1963Pulmonary atelectasis, a common postoperative complication, is associated with high fever, tachycardia, and a rapid respiratory rate. The stimuli for these changes and the mechanisms whereby they are effected are the topics of this paper. An experimental method for production of the clinical syndrome will be described first and then the investigation ...

PULMONARY ATELECTASIS: PHYSICAL FACTORS
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1957Excerpt INTRODUCTION Postnatal atelectasis refers to an airless state of the pulmonary parenchyma which occurs when tributaries serving it become obstructed and circulating blood absorbs the last v...

Rounded atelectasis: A pulmonary pseudotumor
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992Rounded atelectasis is a benign entity that is often misinterpreted as a pulmonary neoplasm. The roentgenologic appearance of a mass is due to an infolding of atelectatic tissue intermingled with pleura, blood vessels, and bronchi. Rounded atelectasis is usually asymptomatic and is commonly associated with chronic pleural disease or pleural effusions ...

Radiological Changes in Pulmonary Atelectasis
Archives of Surgery, 1965PREVIOUS EXPERIMENTAL work, which has been partially confirmed in the human, has demonstrated the pathological physiology of pulmonary atelectasis. 1,2 At times, the clinical picture of pulmonary atelectasis is observed with high fever, tachycardia, and a rapid respiratory rate, as well as decreased breath sounds and chest movement on the involved side,

Atypical Manifestations of Pulmonary Atelectasis
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1996Recognizing atelectasis has always been a challenge. Atypical patterns further our knowledge of this subject. The lung has two mechanisms to help keep the lobes inflated: collateral ventilation and trapped nitrogen both tend to inflate the lungs when the airways are obstructed. Peripheral upper-lobe atelectasis resembles apical pleural fluid.

ATELECTASIS IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1932The relation of bronchial obstruction to atelectasis has been known since 1844, when Legendre and Bailly 1 found that in infants long enfeebled the lungs after death usually contain many consolidated airless lobules. This, they maintained, may occur in the absence of any inflammatory pulmonary process, and develops as a result of bronchial catarrh ...

POSTOPERATIVE PULMONARY ATELECTASIS
Archives of Surgery, 1927Our purpose in this presentation is to emphasize the fact that pulmonary atelectasis, partial or massive, is a common postoperative pulmonary complication and presents a striking and characteristic roentgenologic and clinical picture. No doubt the majority of those postoperative conditions which have been regarded previously as either aspiration or ...
