Upright posterior-anterior chest X-ray demonstrates the entire left lung occupied by
thin-walled bullae, left-to-right mediastinal shift, heterogeneous opacification of the
right upper lobe, and a 1-cm nodule in the right mid-zone.

A stat chest X-ray revealed the entire left lung occupied by thin-walled bullae, left-to-right mediastinal shift, heterogeneous opacification of the right upper lobe, and a 1-cm nodule in the right mid-zone (Figure 1).
Computed tomography scan of chest with contrast demonstrates giant bullae in the
hemithorax, atelectasis of the left lower lobe, peripheral pneumothorax in posterior
medial sulcus as well as the anterolateral base of the hemithorax, marked mediastinal
shift to the right, and consolidation with bronchiectasis in the right
upper/middle/lower lobes.

Subsequently, computed tomography (CT) with contrast of the chest was obtained which revealed giant bullae in the hemithorax, atelectasis of the left lower lobe, peripheral pneumothorax in posterior medial sulcus as well as the anterolateral base of the hemithorax, marked mediastinal shift to the right, and consolidation with bronchiectasis in the right upper/middle/lower lobes (Figure 2).
