From: Radiological findings of unilateral tuberculous lung destruction
A 58-year-old male with a history of pulmonary TB 20 years previously presented with dyspnoea on exertion. (a) The chest radiograph shows marked loss of left lung volume, with an isolated hyperlucent lesion (arrows) that reflects herniation of the contralateral lung toward the left hemithorax. (b) Unenhanced multislice CT depicts total destruction of the left lung with residual cystic bronchiectasis (arrows) and herniation of the right lung toward the left hemithorax. (c) Unenhanced multislice CT clearly demonstrates herniation of the right lung toward the left hemithorax, that is, anterior herniation of the upper lobe and posterior herniation of the lower lobe (arrows)
