Paraseptal emphysema is localized near fissures and pleura and is frequently associated with bullae formation (area of emphysema larger than 1 cm in diameter).
Apical bullae may lead to spontaneous pneumothorax.
Giant bullae occasionally cause severe compression of adjacent lung tissue. #Clinical #Radiology #CTChest #Paraseptal #Emphysema #ParaseptalEmphysema #RadiologyAssistant
