Medical - Medical (general) / Finding reported on a CT scan
Italian term or phrase: disventilazione consensuale
This phrase is from a CT upper abdomen but part of the chest is included in the image. The patient has an ovarian carcinoma. A moderate plerual effusion is noted. The text is as follows: "versamento pleurico bilaterale, maggiore a sn, con DISVENTILAZIONE CONSENSUALE". I have found 4 hits on Google but none which gives me any idea of what an anglophone physician might say. Might this mean "a corresponding decrease in ventilation"? That's my best guess at the moment but I would be grateful if there is any colleague out there who could comment. Thank you in anticipation.

Explanation:
Well, from my little understanding of Italian, this doesn't appear to mean "decrease in ventilation"..see:

Quando si parla di “addensamento” o di “disventilazione” polmonare, si fa riferimento a una zona in cui il tessuto polmonare (parenchima) risulta meno trasparente ai raggi “X”, in quanto in quel punto il polmone perde le sue caratteristiche di tessuto “spugnoso e soffice”, ben aerato in quanto ricco ci cellette aeree (alveoli), e diventa più “denso ”, cioè più “compatto” e “addensato”, in quanto meno aerato (meno “ventilato”) e più opaco ai raggi “X”.

Pulmonary opacification represents the result of a decrease in the ratio of gas to soft tissue (blood,lung parenchyma and stroma) in the lung. When reviewing an area of increased attenuation (opacification) on a chest radiograph or CT it is vital to determine where the .

neutral  Joseph Tein: I posted my comment in the discussion above with my answers for "consensuale" at the same time I commented on the use of "uncontested". I'm not sure where I first found this alternative meaning of "consensuale" but see below, the definition from treccani

  -> Well, where is your suggestion and everyone else's? I am trying to help the asker, "incontestable evidence" is also possible and so is "consensus for"

Note to reference poster
Asker: Hello, Joe and thanks a million for your input. I googled on "polmonite consensuale" and came up with a lot of hits, including the following: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=sOY1Fq56I44C so I have gone along with "associated". "Consensuale" would suggest a sign or symptom far from the original pathology but somehow derived from it. I suppose "secondary" would do just as well. Once again, many thanks. Also, of course to all the other contributors.

Asker: Agree. See my thoughts on a later comment. Thanks a lot.

Reference: A 'nice' reference about "disventilazione"

Reference information:
Se c’è una situazione che crea nelle persone non poca apprensione è leggere sul referto di una radiografia del torace, praticata per i motivi più disparati, i termini “addensamento polmonare” o “addensamento parenchimale polmonare”, o ancora “disventilazione del parenchima polmonare”, magari seguiti dalla sigla “di n.d.d.”, che il paziente tende poi a semplificare, nei racconti successivi, con la ben più popolare frase “Ho una macchia nel polmone”. ...
Quando si parla di “addensamento” o di “disventilazione” polmonare, si fa riferimento a una zona in cui il tessuto polmonare (parenchima) risulta meno trasparente ai raggi “X”, in quanto in quel punto il polmone perde le sue caratteristiche di tessuto “spugnoso e soffice”, ben aerato in quanto ricco ci cellette aeree (alveoli), e diventa più “denso ”, cioè più “compatto” e “addensato”, in quanto meno aerato (meno “ventilato”) e più opaco ai raggi “X”.

--> Any expression characterising reduced air content of the lungs in a CT scan should work for "disventilazione".

(Not sure about "consensuale" – could be corresponding, associated, adjacent,...)

agree  Joseph Tein: Ciao Anne. You've found a nice, clear explanation of disventilazione, indeed. I think "consensuale" in medicine implies concurrent, concomitant, associated.

  -> Ciao and thank you Joseph. My preference would be "adjacent dystelectasis", but that's like putting my head above the parapet, as I am not familiar enough with the Italian use of "disventilazione consensuale".
