Abstract:
We report a case of a 31-year-old healthy man with marathon-induced pulmonary edema. Chest radiograph revealed pulmonary edema without cardiomegaly. Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) revealed transient pulmonary edema without filling-defect in pulmonary arteries. As marathon running increases in popularity, radiologists and emergency physicians should be familiar with diagnosis of this entity on chest radiograph, avoiding unnecessary CT examination without additional clinical information.
