title: [Marginal atelectasis of skin fold? (author's transl)].
abstract: R. Haubrich (1976) described marginal atelectasis of the lower lobes in chest films in patients in bed. Two such patients were studied in detail and a retrospective analysis of examinations of 546 patients carried out in their beds was undertaken. In the first two of these patients it was possible to prove that the so-called marginal atelectases were, in fact, due to skin folds. The retrospective analysis produced a strong correlation between so-called marginal atelectasis and the presence of skin folds. It is concluded that one should not assume the presence of marginal atelectasis until the possibility of a skin fold has been excluded.
