Medical - Medical (general) | | French term or phrase: poumons à la paroi, comblement du cul de sac | Contrôle J9 après sternotomie. Résultats:
Poumons à la paroi. Persistance d'un discret comblement du cul de sac pleural gauche. Cariomégalie.
I've no idea how to translate poumons à la paroi, and although "cul-de-sac" exists in English I can't find any references in this context. |
| | | lungs adhered to chest wall, blunting of costophrenic angle | Explanation:
I think it means lungs adhered to the chest wall. Googling "poumons à la paroi" seemed to suggest this. But I could be wrong!
cul-de-sac = costophrenic angle
http://ercweb.bcm.tmc.edu/rad_elect/Chest/ch-305/discussion....
The PA film is fairly normal, except that the transition between the right pleural space and the right hemidiaphragm is unusually sharp. This finding is known as the loss of the 'gray sign' and is caused by a collection of free fluid in the right subpulmonic space. Notice how the costophrenic angles of the frontal film appear relatively normal. Now look at these angles on the lateral films. With normal lungs, a free pleural effusion will accumulate between the lung and hemidiaphragm but soon spills out into the costophrenic angles. The costophrenic sulcus posteriorly is much deeper than laterally. The fluid will blunt the posterior angle on the lateral view sooner than blunting the lateral angles on the frontal view.

On second thoughts, \"poumons à la paroi\" may just mean the lungs are fully inflated.
