A pulmonary high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was ordered for further assessment and demonstrated evidence of alveolar hemorrhage in the form of diffuse scattered patchy areas of ground glass opacities in both lungs involving all lobes except the apical segments of the upper lung lobes and the subpleuretic areas (Figure 4). There was also a linear lucency noted in the left mediastinum representing pneumomediastinum (Figure 4).
