Imaging findings
Multiple areas of peribronchovascular consolidation, predominantly peripheral, resembling organizing pneumonia. These findings developed within a few months of initiating amiodarone therapy.
Key takeaways
Amiodarone can induce organizing pneumonia, which typically manifests as peribronchovascular and peripheral consolidation. This is often an immune-mediated reaction rather than direct drug deposition and usually responds well to amiodarone cessation and steroid treatment.
