Chronic Consolidation

Acute consolidation has a pretty short differential. When a consolidation becomes chronic, you have to widen your differential. This video will help you form a short but powerful differential for a chronic consolidation with the mnemonic SPACE-V.

Nice lecture

[@zbigniewbrzezinski8869]

Thank you for this wonderful video.
I wonder why you didn’t mention some pneumoconiosis eg silicosis as a cause of chronic consolidation ?
Besides that, what about fungal infections ?
Thank you...

[@ThoracicRadiology]

Thanks for your question, I didn't include these bc silicosis usually presents with multiple nodules rather than consolidation. Absolutely right about fungal infection. That should be included in the atypical pneumonia category. Thank you.

How to differentiate tb and pneumonia

[@dilipmundhada5875]

Quite a few lesions you showed are differential of COVID 19 pneumonia and appearance is look alike too on CT

[@ThoracicRadiology]

Yes, the appearance of COVID-19 can be quite varied. It can show an organizing pneumonia pattern like I showed in this video.

Sir..how to differentiate between a chronic consolidation and fibrosis on ct chest

[@ThoracicRadiology]

Chronic consolidation alone will not necessarily have signs of fibrosis. It will just be a white area that takes up space in the lung. Fibrosis will have signs of volume loss like retraction of the fissure or diaphragm as well as traction bronchiectasis, reticulation, or honeycombing. Often, you can have chronic consolidation and fibrosis in the same area.
