A 'crazy-paving' appearance of the lungs on computed tomography scanning of the chest was first described nearly 20 years ago in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and was thought to be characteristic of this condition. However, this pattern has subsequently been reported in a variety of pulmonary diseases and is now considered to be nonspecific. The present report describes a case of a 74-year-old man in whom congestive heart failure presented with a crazy-paving appearance of the lungs on a chest computed tomography scan. This uncommon association illustrates the importance of the correlation of clinical and radiographic information.
近20年前,胸部计算机断层扫描显示肺部呈“碎石路”样表现首次在肺泡蛋白沉积症患者中被描述,并被认为是该病症的特征。然而,随后这种表现已在多种肺部疾病中被报道,现在被认为是非特异性的。本报告描述了一名74岁男性病例,其充血性心力衰竭在胸部计算机断层扫描中表现为肺部“碎石路”样外观。这种不常见的关联说明了临床信息与影像学信息相互关联的重要性。
