Imaging findings
Apical scarring and fibrosis with diffuse airway thickening and mosaic attenuation, especially on expiratory images. The airway changes represent constrictive bronchiolitis due to inhalation exposure.
Key takeaways
Flavoring-related constrictive bronchiolitis, often associated with diacetyl exposure, manifests as airway thickening, mosaic attenuation, and air trapping.
