title: [Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis with reverse ventilation/perfusion mismatch; a case report].
abstract: Generally, non-ventilated segments are not perfused on lung scans (V/Q match). Now we report a very rare case with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis whose scintigraphy shows the decreased ventilation, but well perfused (reverse V/Q mismatch).
