Abstract:
We present two cases of transient subpleural curvilinear shadows (SCSs) on CT caused by pulmonary congestion. Subpleural curvilinear shadows, which are usually visible in the middle or lower dorsal lung field on CT, have been reported as the initial finding of pulmonary fibrosis. But SCS is not a specific finding since pulmonary congestion may be one cause of it.
