[Meniscus and sequestrum images during pulmonary suppuration. A case of pulmonary gangrene (author's transl)].
Pulmonary gangrene, a rare form of suppurative lung lesion, is the result of bacterial infection associated with vascular thromboses. It is one of the few affections that produce a meniscus image delimiting the pulmonary sequestrum. A case is reported of a woman with pulmonary venous hypertension from mitral disease who developed gangrene limited to Fowler's segment. Recovery occurred after antibiotic therapy and percutaneous drainage.
