Question 1

haziness in both perihilar region?

Accepted Answer

Can't see clearly: Perihilar=area around the hilum/root of the lungs, basically where the airway enters the lung--both=both sides. Haziness=not clearly defined increase in density, often due to enlargement of some lymhnodes/inflamation in the area. It is nonspecific--can't tell for sure what it is. A poorly done xray can produce this haziness. Consult doc to review finding in context of your disease. Good luck.

Question 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

could right sided perihilar pneumonia be aspiration pneumonia?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Aspiration pneumonia most commonly is on the right side.  Usually history of vomiting before.  Most common in people who have difficulty swallowing.

Question 9

what is hilar and perihilar fibrocalcific scarring and bronchial wall thickening?

Accepted Answer

May be old: sounds like old TB or other past infection. If no symptoms don't worry

Question 10

increased perihilar markings bilaterally r/t chf... does this indicate pneumonia? what else could it indicate?

Accepted Answer

CHF -: CHF stands for congestive heart failure, which indicates there is insufficient forward flow of blood throughout the circulatory system. On xray, fluid accumulation around the blood vessels show up from the pressure buildup. This is not an infection, unlike pneumonia. The concern for you is to identify why someone of your age would have CHF in the first place. See your doc asap to address this.
