Giant Bullous Emphysema

van·ish·ing lung syndrome (v

-sh

ng)

A radiologic sign of progressive decrease of the radiologic density of the lung due to a variety of pathophysiologic conditions.

Vanishing Lung Syndrome

A condition affecting 1:1,000 young people, usually males, characterised by multiple bullae of the apical portions of one or both lungs
Management Surgical excision of afunctional bullae results in expansion of normally functioning pulmonary tissue and clinical improvement

vanishing lung syndrome

Giant bullous emphysema Pulmonology A disease affecting 1:1000 young usually ♂ subjects, characterized by multiple bullae of the apical portions of one or both lungs Clinical ↑ Resonance to percussion with radiologic disappearance of lung markings, hence, the term 'vanishing'; in absence of concomitant emphysema, the vital capacity is relatively normal; with extensive lesions, severe impairment of pulmonary function may occur Treatment Surgical excision of afunctional bullae results in expansion of normally functioning pulmonary tissue and clinical improvement
