CTICasesSpontaneous Lobar Torsion
Imaging findings
Distorted, flipped pulmonary vasculature and a truncated bronchus, suggestive of vascular obstruction and infarction.
Key takeaways
Spontaneous lobar torsion, while rare, can occur in the setting of chronic pleural effusions or pneumothorax, even without prior surgery. Surgical findings may occasionally be ambiguous if the lobe detorts during the procedure.
