Re-expansion pulmonary edema with geographic distribution of consolidation and ground-glass opacity.

A. High-resolution CT scan obtained at five hours after insertion of chest tube, in 26-year-old man, shows geographic patchy areas of consolidation and ground-glass opacity in left lung. Chest tube is located in medial portion of pleura (arrow).

B. High-resolution CT scan of 36-year-old man that underwent chest tube insertion 14 hours before, demonstrates geographic distribution of ground-glass opacity and consolidation. Note gravity-dependent distribution of opacities.
