[Pulmonary venous occlusive disease].
The present study deals with the radiation diagnosis of the rare disease--pulmonary venous occlusive disease. The follow-up covered three cases that ended with death. The clinical picture of the disease did not differ from the manifestations of primary pulmonary hypertension. All the patients underwent chest X-ray study in four standard projections. The morphological verification of its diagnosis was made on the basis of autopsy data. X-rat study promoted identification of such signs as peculiar changes in the lung pattern in form of its looping, reticulation, fine-focality along with reticular changes, the presence of Kerley lines, the diameter of root branches, enlargements of the pulmonary trunk without any symptoms of the enlarged left atrium.
