[Pneumopathy induced by amiodarone. Radiological data].
Amiodarone is a drug used to treat refractory tachyarrhythmias. Unfortunately, amiodarone causes numerous side effects, among them the most serious is a pulmonary toxicity. Conventional radiographic findings are non specific and may be observed in various diseases, however. Early recognition of pulmonary toxicity is important, since prompt discontinuation of the drug, and institution of corticosteroids should result in resolution of toxicity.
