  • Title: Radiologic differential diagnosis. Radiologic pattern: solitary cavity.
    Author: Reed JC.
    Journal: Rev Interam Radiol; 1976 Oct; 1(2):21-3. PubMed ID: 1027065.
    Abstract:
    The differential diagnosis of a left lower lobe cavity in this young patient with a history of productive cough should include hiatal hernia, pulmonary abscess, bronchiectatic cyst and bronchopulmonary sequestration. Hiatal hernia should be ruled out by barium swallow; acute pulmonary abscess by the lack of a history suggestive of a necrotizing pneumonia; bronchiectasis by bronchogram; and intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration should be confirmed by aortography.
