Summary:

  • Radiopaedia case ID: 84900
  • Image ID: 54028203
  • Study description: Portable AP CXR (NICU)
  • Modality: X-ray
  • System: Paediatrics
  • Findings: Generally reduced lung volume with bell-shaped chest, diffuse bilateral granulation in all lung zones - findings are in line with moderate neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. 

Increased transparency of the left lower hemithorax with subtle cardiomediastinal shift to the right, however maintained position of the diaphragm - virtually pathognomonic for pneumothorax. Status post PICC line insertion on the right. The catheter arches back peripherally, indicative of malposition.  NG tube in situ, status post intubation with good tube position.
