Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a fibrotic lung disease affecting small airways. This review focuses on constrictive BO, detailing its causes, presentation, imaging, and lung function, differentiating it from BO organizing pneumonia (BOOP).

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a fibrotic disease of small airways.
  • BO is classified by etiology or histopathology into BO organizing pneumonia (BOOP) and constrictive bronchiolitis.
  • Constrictive bronchiolitis presents distinct clinical, imaging, and physiological features compared to BOOP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review constrictive bronchiolitis (BO).
  • To detail histopathology, clinical presentation, radiographic appearance, and physiological findings of constrictive BO.
  • To differentiate constrictive BO in idiopathic and clinically associated entities.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of constrictive bronchiolitis.
  • Analysis of histopathological patterns.

  • Correlation of clinical, imaging (HRCT), and pulmonary function test (PFT) findings.

    • Main Results:

    • Constrictive bronchiolitis shows a mosaic pattern on HRCT.
    • Pulmonary function tests typically reveal obstructive dysfunction.
    • It is associated with organ transplantation, infections, connective tissue diseases, inhalation injury, drugs, and can be idiopathic.

    Conclusions:

    • Constrictive bronchiolitis is a distinct entity within BO.
    • Understanding its varied etiologies and presentations is crucial for diagnosis and management.
    • Radiographic and physiological findings aid in differentiating it from other BO subtypes.
