Question 1

i had an x-ray. what does bilateral perihilar fullness mean?

Accepted Answer

: Nothing specific. It often suggests a viral process. All such readings must be interpreted in the context of the history/exam and why the study was taken.

Question 2

prominence of bilateral perihilar bronchovascular markings is noted... please say what does this mean in common wods?

Accepted Answer

X-RAY FINDINGS: The hilum is an area of the lung where the breathing tubes, blood vessels, &amp; many lymph nodes all come together.  Findings could represent acute infection like pneumonia, inflammation, malignancy, chronic conditions, or nothing at all.  I would certainly follow up promptly with the person who ordered the x-ray for an explanation of possibilities in the context of your current medical history.

Question 3

what does increased bilateral perihilar and paracardiac bronchovascular  markings  and right apears to be more affected mean?

Accepted Answer

X-Ray finding: After taking an x-Ray of your chest and you don't say why the radiologist, who never saw you just your x-Ray, said he saw some non-specific stuff near the center of your chest. It doesn't mean you have pneumonia or Tb but follow up with your doc.

Question 4

what does diffuse coarsened interstitial markings throughout both lungs w/bilateral hilar prominence and perihilar infiltrates mean. ?

Accepted Answer

: That you have a lung condition which has to be corelated with your symptoms for proper diagnosis

Question 5

whay does this mean " the lung fields are clear  and consider perihilar pneumonitis, bilateral? can my son still go with his operation/surgery?

Accepted Answer

Depends on situation: If the kid will be placed under an inhaled general anesthesia, such a reading on an x-ray might lead the treatment team to delay an elective operation. A lung disorder can be aggravated by inhaled anesthetics & lead to worsening of the lung status. Discussion of the findings with your doc is indicated.

Question 6

what is mild perihilar fullness on the left is stable indicate?

Accepted Answer

Stable = good+/-.: Fullness means there is something more buldging/larger than expected in an area.  Peri-hilar means the area where your bronchial tree in the lung area splits up into the different branches that go out to the lung.  Therefore, you have a fullness of that area.  Stable can be good, but what is the time frame? To be safe, check with the ordering doc to see if it needs further testing.

Question 7

cash has spastic quadriplegic cp,severe development delay global,2rare seizure disorders,gtube aspirate had pneumonia1x2mth ago nowxray show atelectasis, streaky opacity,perihilar fullness peribronchial thicking,r.a.d left lung that sounds bad,is it?

Accepted Answer

: The pulmonary condition can be treated but high risk of recurrence. This kid has to be appropriately cared and closely monitored for preventing aspiration pneumonia.

Question 8

what is bilateral perihilar pneumonia?

Accepted Answer

Region Involved: Peri hilar is the region of the lungs where the infection occurs. It is the area where the structures that form the roots of the left lun enter and leave this viscus:pulmonary artery, pulmonary veins, lymphatic vessels and bronchus with bronciial venis and arteries.

Question 9

what is bilateral perihilar and basal pneumonities with hyperraeration?

Accepted Answer

Radiology-speak!: The radiologist sees signs of inflammation in the area near the center of the chest called the hilum as well as the basal or bottom portions of the lungs. Hyperaeration means there is increased  air-space to lung tissue ratio, caused by breakdown of the septa between alveoli, creating fewer but larger alveoli, as seen in emphysema. Its up to your doctor to interpret these findings.

Question 10

what does streaky infiltrates in both perihilar and basal regions and lung fields are hyperaerated in xray mean?

Accepted Answer

Two different things: "streaky infiltrates" means nothing specific. Some increased increased opacity seen on the film, that can be from fluid (edema), infection, scar tissue, or just an over-zealous reading by the radiologist. Hyperinflation implies (but does not diagnose) airway obstruction, such as is seen in asthma, or emphysema or other similar disorders. A chest-x-ray cannot diagnose any of these conditions.
