title: Acute bilateral diffuse pulmonary shadowing after evacuation of hydatid mole.
abstract: Acute bilateral diffuse pulmonary shadowing complicates the resection of hydatid mole approximately 10% of the time. Etiologic factors include trophoblastic emboli, pulmonary emboli, high output congestive failure, and DIC. Prompt recognition and emergency oxygen therapy with PEEP are imperative for survival.
