RESUMEN
La atelectasia pulmonar es un indicador importante de una enfermedad subyacente, potencialmente grave, que es imprescindible diagnosticar precozmente. Uno de los mecanismos más frecuentes es la reabsorción de aire distal a la obstrucción de las vías respiratorias. La radiografía de tórax es una herramienta excelente para diagnosticarla, especialmente útil para descartar obstrucciones bronquiales centrales (por ejemplo, una neoplasia endobronquial). Si no se reconocen correctamente los signos de la pérdida de volumen el diagnóstico y el tratamiento pueden retrasarse. En este artículo se describen los principales hallazgos radiográficos de la atelectasia pulmonar lobular y su correlación con la tomografía computarizada. Se incluyen los signos clásicos descritos en la bibliografía y otros menos conocidos y a su vez sutiles (AU)
ABSTRACT
Atelectasis is an important indicator of potentially severe underlying disease that must be diagnosed as early as possible. One of the most common mechanisms is the reabsorption of air distal to respiratory tract obstruction. The chest X-ray is an excellent tool to diagnose atelectasis, and it is especially useful for ruling out central bronchial obstructions (e.g., from endobronchial tumors). If the signs of volume loss are not recognized correctly, the diagnosis and treatment can be delayed. This article describes the main findings of lobar atelectasis on chest X-rays and their correlations with CT findings, including the classic signs described in the literature and other, less known and sometimes subtle signs (AU)
