Constrictive bronchiolitis: a CT scan appearance.
Bronchiolitis obliterans or constrictive bronchiolitis is a distant clinical entity with obstructive airway disease. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the thorax can often suggest the diagnosis with the characteristic "mosaic pattern". We present here two cases of bronchiolitis obliterans in which the HRCT showed the presence of this characteristic appearance.
