Crazy-paving sign is a pattern seen on multislice computed tomography images of the lungs. It is characterized by a reticular pattern superimposed on ground-glass opacity. It was first described in the late 1980s in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, but has now been described in some other diseases of the lung. Enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes can be seen in infectious and specific inflammatory diseases and malignancies. The present report describes a case of a 44-year-old man in whom congestive heart failure presented with a crazy-paving appearance and enlarged lymph nodes of the lungs on the chest computed tomography scan.
碎石路征是在肺部多层计算机断层扫描图像上看到的一种表现形式。其特征是网状影叠加在磨玻璃样密度影上。它于20世纪80年代末首次在肺泡蛋白沉积症患者中被描述，但现在在其他一些肺部疾病中也有报道。在感染性疾病、特异性炎症性疾病和恶性肿瘤中可见纵隔淋巴结肿大。本报告描述了一名44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碎石路征及肺部淋巴结肿大。
