► IN THIS VIDEO, Santiago focuses on a chest x-ray showing hemithorax opacification due to pushed alveoli. Hemithorax opacification describes the complete whitening of one side of the chest on an x-ray, indicating an underlying pathology. When the alveoli are pushed, it often leads to the trachea and mediastinal structures being shifted away from the affected side. Santiago delves into the potential differential diagnoses for this presentation, which include:

Massive Hemothorax: A large collection of blood in the pleural space can push the alveoli, causing the lung to appear white and shifting the trachea away from the affected side.

Accumulation of Fluid (Pleural Effusion): An excessive amount of fluid in the pleural cavity can lead to similar radiologic findings, with the trachea being pushed away from the opacified lung.

Tumor: Tumors originating from the pleura (the membrane surrounding the lungs) or nearby tissues can exert pressure on the lung, leading to alveolar displacement and the characteristic opacification on the x-ray.

Santiago provides a detailed explanation of each condition, highlighting how they can be distinguished based on clinical and radiologic features. Through clear visuals and step-by-step breakdowns, Santiago ensures you gain a solid understanding of how to approach a chest x-ray with hemithorax opacification due to pushed alveoli.
