| dc.description.abstract | Background: Giant Bullous Emphysematous (GBE) is developed from bullous
lung parenchyma diseases and is resulted from multiple causes. The Images between
GBE with pneumothorax are similar and dif cult to differentiate.Both are emergency
cases that prompt diagnosis might mean proper treatment and life saving.This was a
case study presenting a case of a 27-years-old-man to emergency room with dyspnoe.
Respiratory rate of 32and coarse upper breath sounds with diminished breath sounds at
the right lung. Chest Computed Tomography (Chest CT) and Chest X Ray (CXR) images
at right lung has shown a large coalescing bulla which trapped air and uid, compressed
the adjacent lung parenchyma with resultant ipsilateral volume loss, air uid level and
thin walls. Smaller bullous lesions were also seen in the left upper lobe. Results: the
difference characteristics between chest CT and CXR GBE compared to pneumothorax
were: 1) the location of lesions: GBE was within the lung and pneumothorax was in
pleural space; 2). The shape of the lesions: GBE, oval, thin walled-less than 1 mm may
be formed by pleura, septa or compressed lung tissue. Pneumothorax: with linear density
outlining distinct lucent area with broncho vascular marking 3.) Complications: GBE
caused minimal mediastinal shifts line and spontaneous pneumothorax. Pneumothorax
with large areas caused greater mediastinal shift line. Conclusions: chest CT and CXR
were important to determine between GBE and pneumothorax based on the location,
the shape of the lesions and complications. | en_US |
