Radiological Patterns of Lung Involvement in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Figure 10

A 36-year-old woman with UC and previous total colectomy. In the basal posterolateral segment of lower lobes (more evident in the left), a fine interstitial thickening associated with ground glass opacities and some traction bronchiolectasis is appreciable. A subpleural sparing is associated (arrow). These findings are consistent with NSIP. Axial HRCT study (a) and sagittal reconstruction (b).
