Abstract

Chest X-ray is the firstline diagnostic tool to diagnose pulmonary diseases. Chest X-rays are usually interpreted by the treating physicians. It is important to examine the X-rays as a whole to avoid any missing of the concomitant pathologies. In this article, we present an 18-year-old male case of pneumonia in the right lower lobe and parapneumonic pleural effusion presenting with contralateral pneumothorax.

Özet

Akciğer hastalıklarının tanısında birinci basamak tanı aracı akciğer grafisidir. Akciğer grafisinin değerlendirilmesi genellikle klinisyen hekim tarafından yapılmaktadır. Eşlik eden patolojilerin gözden kaçmaması için grafinin bütün olarak değerlendirilmesi önemlidir. Bu yazıda, sağ alt lobta pnömoni ve parapnömonik plevral efüzyonu ile birlikte karşı tarafta pnömotoraksın eşlik ettiği 18 yaşında erkek bir olgu sunuldu.
