Pneunothorax
(a very visual example)
Pneumatocele
(Pathognomonic for S.aureus infection / child)
Pneumoperitoneum
The patient was found to have pneumoperitoneum (probably secondary to steroid use), with gas extending from the infradiaphragmatic region to the inferior margin of the liver, outlining the gallbladder. The findings are highly suggestive of bowel perforation; dexamethasone increases the risk for this complication.
Torsades de Pointes
Pneumatocele

Caecal Volvulus

Epidural haematoma

Pulmonary embolism
A 47 year old woman presented to the emergency department with acute shortness of breath and hypoxemia.
The chest radiograph demonstrates a Westermark sign with a focal area of oligemia in the right middle zone and cutoff of the pulmonary artery in the upper lobe of the right lung.

Croup
This 1-year-old patient presented with barking cough and hoarseness. Physical examination revealed neck lymphadenopathy and audible stridor, but the patient was not in respiratory distress and was not drooling (which is a sign of impending airway collapse). Chest radiography showed a so-called steeple sign, which results from subglottic narrowing of the trachea and is suggestive of the diagnosis of laryngotracheobronchitis, or croup. The patient recovered following treatment nebulized epinephrine + O2

Hyperkalaemia
The electrocardiogram shows a regular rhythm, with a widened QRS complex in a sine-wave configuration, and there no discernible P waves. The T waves were fused with the widened QRS complexes to form the sine-wave pattern (sinoventricular rhythm). The patient s condition stabilized after the administration of calcium chloride, bicarbonate, glucose, and insulin therapy, which was followed by hemodialysis.
