A 44-year-old man with extensive burns (24 % TBSA) from intentional pouring of petrol, who was then set on fire, with acute presentation and early ICU admission. On the first day, bedside ED (a) CXR shows bilateral consolidations. On the fourth day, (b, c) MDCT axial scans show diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacities sparing the lung periphery and the absence of pleural effusions that are typical of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. (d) Follow-up CXR on the sixth day shows right pneumothorax
