A Caucasian woman aged 58 years with history of asthma and surgically repaired congenital diaphragmatic hernia presented to the emergency department (ED) with persistent cough, pleuritic chest pain, shortness of breath, in spite of recent treatment for influenza A virus. On physical examination, a large bulge was protruding from her left posterior thorax. She was found to have a large abnormal radiographic lucency on lateral chest X-ray posterior to the thoracic cavity, confirmed with chest CT to represent a large lung herniation in between the left seventh and eighth ribs. The patient was evaluated by a thoracic surgeon and offered surgical repair but ultimately decided on conservative management which to date has been ineffective.

Primary idiopathic chylopericardium (PIC) is an uncommon cardiologic disorder; it is defined as accumulation of lymph in the pericardial sac without any know precipitating factor. A 25-year-old presented with dyspnea and chest pain for over two months. The patient underwent a chest X-ray, which revealed an enlargement of cardiac silhouette and signs of cardiac tamponade. Chest CT was performed, revealing large pericardial effusion and small pleural effusion on the right hemithorax. The patient was referred to the ICU and underwent a pericardial window through VATS, which revealed 500 ml of a milky fluid.

Cardiac Silhouette

The portable chest x-ray (Figure 1) shows a widened cardiac silhouette. An endotracheal tube is in situ, indicating the patient is now intubated. The ECG (Figure 2) shows sinus rhythm with widespread mixed convex and concave ST elevation, most notable in V4, V5 and the lateral leads. There is a suggestion of PR depression in the inferior leads.

Lateral Chest

The chest X-ray is the most commonly performed medical imaging study; however, the lateral chest film intimidates many physicians and medical students. The lateral view is more difficult to interpret than the frontal view but provides important information that is either not visible or not as evident on frontal view, and inability to read it may lead to missed diagnoses and more expensive imaging. The objective of this study was to assess a novel mnemonic-based approach to teaching medical students to proficiently read a lateral film using a prospective pilot study. A clinical faculty radiologist taught two groups of second-year medical students to read a lateral chest X-ray. One group learned a novel mnemonic-based method (MUM), and the other cohort performed directed web-based self-study (STMM). Each cohort was given a pre- and postassessment, and their performance was analyzed. A total of n = 29 students participated with n = 14 being taught the mnemonic method. The MUM group significantly ( P = 0.001) improved their score vs. the STMM group This study demonstrates students can quickly and effectively learn to read a lateral chest film using this novel mnemonic.

Cardiac Silhouette

Pneumopericardium complicating the course of hyaline membrane disease in a newborn, premature infant is reported. The details of other instances of neonatal pneumopericardium although unassociated with hyaline membrane disease are reviewed. The clinical manifestations, similar to those of pneumomediastinum, appear very suddenly and can lead to cardiac tamponade. Most cases described in the newborn infant are a complication of assisted ventilation by intermittent positive pressure. The chest x-ray characteristically shows a zone of diminished density surrounding the cardiac silhouette. The prognosis is bad unless emergency treatment (puncture and aspiration) is promptly performed.
