Localised pulmonary metastatic calcification associated with pulmonary artery obstruction.
BACKGROUND Metastatic pulmonary calcification, a complication of uraemia and disordered calcium metabolism, may be diffuse or localised. The factors that determine calcium precipitation are complex, but tissue alkalosis is thought to be important. As obstruction of the pulmonary artery theoretically causes local alkalosis a retrospective necropsy study was carried out to examine the relation be...
متن کاملPeripheral airways obstruction in idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (primary).
The mechanical properties of the lung were studied in ten nonsmokers with idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (IPAH) (mean pulmonary artery pressure 65.7 +/- 30 mm Hg). In the routine lung test, residual volume was found to be abnormal (greater than 120 percent of the predicted) in seven patients, and measured airway resistance was normal in eight out of the ten patients. A decreased FEF 7...
متن کاملSurgical Treatment Of Pulmonary Artery Angiosarcoma Causing Severe Obstruction Of The Pulmonary Artery
Pulmonary artery sarcomas are rarely seen and frequently misdiagnosed as pulmonary thromboembolic disease due to the presence of similar clinical manifestations and radiologic findings. As making the certain diagnosis is very important in order to determine the treatment strategy, one needs close follow-up to make a definite diagnosis. However, most of the cases are diagnosed during the surgery...
متن کاملConservative Management in a Ventilated Preterm Neonate with Pneumopericardium, Pleural Effusion, and Pulmonary Collapse: A Case Report
Background: Neonatal pneumopericardium (PPC) is a rare clinical condition usually associated with other air leak syndromes. It increases morbidity and mortality due to cardiac tamponade. Case report: A preterm male neonate weighing 1260 g was born with the gestational age of 28 weeks. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was routinely performed without any medical therapy. The newborn was transferred ...
متن کاملDiffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia accompanied by airflow obstruction.
Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with airflow obstruction is a rare form of lung injury. All of the reported cases have been diagnosed by surgical lung biopsy. Only three of the reported cases presented with diffuse interstitial lung opacities on HRCT scans. We report three additional cases of this entity. All of the patients were female and presented with mild-to-mo...
