CTICasesBronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Imaging findings
Radiograph and high-resolution chest CT demonstrate diffuse, severe cystic lung lesions, parenchymal distortion, and widespread air trapping with preservation of the central bronchovascular structures. Progressive dilatation of the main pulmonary artery is noted over an 11-year follow-up period, indicating progressive pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Key takeaways
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a chronic lung disease that typically originates in premature infants treated with high-concentration oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation. Adults living with chronic bronchopulmonary dysplasia present with a disorganized pattern of peripheral emphysema, cysts, air trapping, and scarring, and are at high risk for developing severe, progressive pulmonary arterial hypertension.
