Linear atelectasis
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Linear-atelectasis refers to a focal area of subsegmental atelectasis that has a linear shape. Linear atelectasis may appear to be horizontal, oblique or perpendicular. It usually occurs as a consequence of subsegmental bronchial obstruction.
Aetiology
- hypoventilatory change (i.e., the lung folding in on itself)
- pulmonary embolism
- pneumonia
or following aspiration - aspiration
- bronchogenic carcinoma
