Pulmonary Edema

Imaging findings

Chest radiographs show rapid development of interstitial edema and vascular indistinctness over one week, featuring nodular 'venous lakes' and pleural effusions. Repeat chest radiograph shows rapid, complete resolution following diuresis.

Key takeaways

Volume overload from overhydration (e.g., during chemotherapy hydration) can cause acute pulmonary edema that may mimic nodular interstitial lung disease due to venous lakes. Rapid resolution after diuresis confirms the diagnosis.
