| Summary: | Among the various emergency diseases in children, acute pulmonary and airway disease are
common clinical conditions encountered by radiologists, and the first imaging modality is
chest radiography. Therefore, it is important to be familiar with these diseases and their imaging
findings. In this article, we review pneumonia and mimickers of acute pulmonary disease.
For acute airway disease, we reviewed croup, acute epiglottitis, tracheomalacia, asthma, postinfectious
bronchiolitis obliterans, and foreign body aspiration. We hope this review of special
diseases can help the diagnosis and treatment in children. |
