Abstract

Patients who undergo resection of the right upper lobe of the lung may be predisposed to developing atelectasis when compared to other lung resections. The radiographic examinations of four patients with collapse of the right middle lobe following right upper lobe lobectomy were reviewed. The diagnosis of right middle lobe collapse is based on the findings of increased opacification in the right upper paramediastinal region and volume loss of the right hemithorax.
