Complicated pulmonary interstitial emphysema.

A 6-year-old boy with known acute lymphocytic leukemia was referred for radiologic evaluation of his complaints of newly onset cough, high fever, dsypnea and general situation worsening.

Forty one of 210 preterm infants ventilated for respiratory distress syndrome in a three year period had radiological evidence of pulmonary interstitial emphysema. The development of this condition was significantly associated with malpositioning of the endotracheal tube in a main bronchus and the use of high peak pressure ventilation.

However, a chest CT showed no evidence of pulmonary emphysema and instead demonstrated free air along the bronchovascular sheaths indicative of pulmonary interstistial emphy...
