CTICasesSevere Asthma with Reversible Air Trapping
Imaging findings
Initial inspiratory and expiratory scans showed bronchial wall thickening and severe, diffuse air trapping. Follow-up scans after intensive steroid treatment showed significant resolution of both the airway wall thickening and the air trapping.
Key takeaways
While we often associate air trapping with irreversible fibrosis, this case demonstrates that severe inflammation in asthma can cause reversible air trapping that improves significantly with treatment.
