title: [Radiologic patterns of pulmonary edema in chronic pulmonary diseases (author's transl)].
abstract: Three atypical patterns of cardiac failure and pulmonary edema, as frequently seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, are described; I. regional; II. miliary-like; III. Swiss-cheese like. Their importance in early diagnosis of pulmonary edema is discussed in the light of a review of a series of 98 patients whose pulmonary function was also investigated. Examples and statistical data are drown from this series.
