Lymphangiomyomatosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause similar clinical features, such as asthma , spontaneous pneumothorax , emphysema , interstitial pulmonary fibrosis , eosinophilic granuloma (EG), Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, lymphangiomas , pulmonary lymphangiectasis, and leiomyosarcoma .

The ABG analysis was repeated and revealed a pH of 7.33, a P aO 2 of 61 mm Hg, a P aCO 2 of 59 mm Hg, sodium bicarbonate at 23.6 mmol/L, and a base excess of +4 mmol/L. A portable chest radiograph ( Fig. 2 ) was done and was remarkable for bilateral supraclavicular subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum. (rcjournal.com)

Pulmonary15
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) is a collection of gases outside of the normal air passages and inside the connective tissue of the peribronchovascular sheaths, interlobular septa, and visceral pleura. (medscape.com)
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is more frequent in premature infants who require mechanical ventilation for severe lung disease. (medscape.com)
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) is a radiographic and pathologic diagnosis (see image below and Workup). (medscape.com)

Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is initiated when air ruptures from the alveolar airspace and small airways into the perivascular tissue of the lung. (medscape.com)
However, in extremely premature infants, pulmonary interstitial emphysema can occur at low mean airway pressure and probably reflects the underdeveloped lung's increased sensitivity to stretch. (medscape.com)
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema has been rarely reported in the absence of mechanical ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure. (medscape.com)
This fluid may obstruct the movement of gas from ruptured alveoli or airways to the mediastinum, causing an increase of pulmonary interstitial emphysema. (medscape.com)
The air of pulmonary interstitial emphysema can be located inside the pulmonary lymphatic network. (medscape.com)
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema does not preferentially localize in any one of the 5 pulmonary lobes. (medscape.com)
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema compresses adjacent functional lung tissue and vascular structures and hinders both ventilation and pulmonary blood flow, thus impeding oxygenation, ventilation, and blood pressure. (medscape.com)
Special interests in the area of severe lung diseases including lung transplantation, particularly immunopathology of chronic rejection, pulmonary hypertension, exercise limitation in severe lung disease and development of novel bronschoscopic approaches to emphysema. (arasmi.org)
Because rational and effective therapy depends on understanding basic principles of normal and abnormal liquid, solute, and protein transport in the lungs, this chapter begins with a brief overview of the major factors that govern fluid and protein filtration in healthy lungs before focusing on the pathophysiology of pulmonary edema.

Alveolar1
Presumed pathophysiology is air escaping from alveolar rupture from forceful vomiting via tissue planes to cause epidural pneumatosis. (shengsci.com)

Lungs1
In the intrapleural variety, which is more common in more mature infants with compliant lungs, the abnormal air pockets are confined to the visceral pleura, often affecting the mediastinal pleura. (medscape.com)
Hematoma1
Axial CT images of the chest obtained with the lung (A) and mediastinal (B) window settings, demonstrating tubular consolidation (hematoma) crossing the left lung with peripheral ground-glass opacities (contusion). (archbronconeumol.org)
Chest3
Since the air generally comes from the chest cavity, subcutaneous emphysema usually occurs around the upper torso, such as on the chest, neck, face, axillae and arms, where it is able to travel with little resistance along the loose connective tissue within the superficial fascia. (wikipedia.org)
Signs and symptoms of spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema vary based on the cause, but it is often associated with swelling of the neck and chest pain, and may also involve sore throat, neck pain, difficulty swallowing, wheezing and difficulty breathing. (wikipedia.org)
Chest trauma, a major cause of subcutaneous emphysema, can cause air to enter the skin of the chest wall from the neck or lung. (wikipedia.org)
In cases of subcutaneous emphysema around the neck, there may be a feeling of fullness in the neck, and the sound of the voice may change. (wikipedia.org)
A hoarse voice, subcutaneous emphysema of the anterior part of the neck, or a palpable thyroid cartilage crepitus may indicate laryngeal trauma. (medscape.com)

Introduction: Microvascular rarefaction, the functional reduction in perfused microvessels and structural reduction of microvascular density, seems to be an important mechanism in the pathophysiology of small blood vessel related disorders including vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) due to cerebral small vessel disease and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Small1
Lymphangiomyomatosis is characterized by small mediastinal or retro- peritoneal tumors which involve the thoracic duc t and consist of numerous smooth muscle bundles interspersed with lymphatic channels. (wikidoc.org)
However, in some medical circles, it can instead be more commonly known as Macklin's Syndrome after L. Macklin, in 1939, and C.C. and M.T. Macklin, in 1944, who cumulatively went on to describe the pathophysiology in more detail. (wikipedia.org)
