XXXX complicating @entity101 : findings on chest radiographs.

@entity1 @entity101 @entity1283 @entity120 @entity49 @entity854 @entity1575 @entity2312 @entity4266
@entity120 is a rare but well-established complication of @entity101 with a prevalence of 0.73% in one large autopsy series. In this report, we review the findings on chest radiographs in eight @entity1 with this complication. Portal @entity101 in these @entity1 was evidenced by the presence of @entity2312 . The causes of @entity101 were @entity1575 in seven @entity1 and portal @entity49 in one @entity1 . @entity120 was established by right heart catheterization and pressure measurement. Qualitative assessment of the radiographs showed that four @entity1 had the classic findings of @entity120 including prominent central pulmonary arteries and @entity4266 , three had @entity854 , and one had only @entity1283 . Measurements of the width of the right descending pulmonary artery and the pulmonary lobar diameter/transverse thoracic diameter ratio were made in five of the @entity1 in whom postero-anterior radiographs were available. The results confirmed our qualitative analysis, although they did not establish the diagnosis in borderline cases. We also observed that pulmonary vascular redistribution to the upper lobes was present in four @entity1 , a finding that has been reported in @entity1 with other causes of @entity120 . We conclude that the possibility of @entity120 should be raised in @entity1 with @entity101 , even when only subtle chest radiographic findings are present to suggest that diagnosis.
