Left lower lobe consolidation (loss of silhouette sign)

Discussion:

These findings suggest left lower lobe pneumonia with parapneumonic effusion causing loss of silhouette sign, affecting the left medial hemidiaphragm. Comparison with the prior radiograph confirms that this is a new finding. CTPA confirmed collapse/consolidation in the left lower lobe and pleural effusion. A follow-up CT was recommended to ensure resolution.
