Abnormal Chest Radiograph Due to a Common Lung Finding in Down Syndrome.

Abstract

A seven-year-old girl with Down syndrome was incidentally found to have abnormal chest radiograph finding. She had no history of fever, dyspnea, hemoptysis, or features of upper airway obstruction. There was no significant family history or contact with tuberculosis. Oxygen saturation in room air was 97%. Normal vesicular breath sounds were heard bilaterally on examination of the chest. Her chest radiograph [Figure 1] and computed tomography [Figure 2 and 3] of the chest are given. Figure 1 Chest radiograph of a seven-year-old girl, anteroposterior view. Figure 2 Axial computed tomography images of the chest at the level of (a) upper lobes and (b) lower lobes. Figure 3 (a) Coronal and (b) sagittal computed tomography images of chest.
