This pathology is most common in children. It happens when foreign objects are swallowed or breathed in and get stuck in the air passages of the bronchial tree.
Aspiration
What projection is most commonly performed for aspiration or foreign bodies in the airways?
Lateral upper airway
A condition in which collapse of all or portion of the lung occurs as a result of obstruction of the bronchus or puncture of an air passageway.
Atelectasis
An irreversible dilation or widening of bronchi or bronchioles that may result from repeated pulmonary infection or obstruction
Bronchiectasis
An acute or chronic condition in which excessive mucus is secreted into the bronchi, causing cough and shortness of breath
Brinchitis
A form of persistent obstruction of the airways that usually causes difficulty in emptying the lungs of air
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
A condition in which secretions of heavy mucus cause progressive “clogging” of bronchi and bronchioles
Cystic fibrosis
A condition of shortness of breath
Dyspnea
An irreversible and chronic lung disease in which air spaces in the alveoli become greatly enlarged as a result of alveolar wall destruction and loss of alveolar elasticity
Emphysema
A potentially life-threatening inflammation of the epiglottis and surrounding tissues, often caused by bacterial or viral infections that is most common in children ages 2 to 5
Epiglottitis
Refers to a new growth or tumor and may be benign or malignant
Neoplasm
Cancers that start elsewhere in the body and spread to the lungs are called:
Pulmonary metastasis
Another word for occupational lung disease
pneumoconiosis
A condition that arises from occupational lung exposures, including certain mine work, sandblasting, and similar professions
Pneumoconiosis
The occupational lung disease caused by deposits of coal dust into the lungs
Anthracosis
The occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of asbestos dust which results in pulmonary fibrosis
Asbestosis
The occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of silica dust, a form of sand dust
Silicosis
A condition of abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity
Pleural effusion
A condition of abnormal accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity
Empyema
A condition of abnormal accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity
Hemothorax
A condition characterized by inflammation of the pleura surrounding the lungs and is caused by the visceral and parietal pleura rubbing during respiration
Pleurisy
An inflammation of the lungs that results in accumulation of fluid within certain sections of the lungs, creating increased radiodensities in these regions
Pneumonia
An accumulation of air in the pleural space that causes partial or complete collapse of the lung and results in immediate and severe chest pain and shortness of breath
Pneumothorax
A condition of excess fluid within the lung that most frequently is caused by a backup in pulmonary circulation commonly associated with congestive heart failure
Pulmonary edema
An emergent condition in which the alveoli and capillaries of the lungs are injured or infected, resulting in leakage of fluid and blood into the spaces between alveoli or into the alveoli themselves with formation of hyaline membranes
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)
A potentially fatal contagious disease that is caused by airborne bacteria and primarily affects the lungs.
