![]() | This MRI scan of the chest in axial view of an infant demonstrates cystic areas representing abnormal airway dilation with early bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a condition not unlike honeycomb change following organizing diffuse alveolar damage in an adult. Increased oxygen at high pressures is required for ventilation, but this potentiates the lung injury, and the high pressure leads to barotrauma with airspace dilation and the potential for pneumothorax. |
