I was just wondering what on my 2 yr olds xray. there is poor inspiratory volume resulting in crowding of the central bronchovascular markings. What does this mean?? Shes has history or Retrophargeal cellulitus which she was hospitalized for a yr ago and has reoccurant croup about every 2-3 months since then.
Hi.... by what you got I feel that your kid might be having and upper airway resistance syn Chat Doctor.  Low inspiratory volume on chest X-ray of the lungs means that the kid is not able to generate sufficient pressure to suck in sufficient volume of air into the lungs. If the kid is snoring or has got an inspiratory strider - this is again suggestive of the above-mentioned condition. The kid will require evaluation by experience and pediatric ENT surgeon or a pulmonologist. Regards -
