Radiology in Mendelson's syndrome.

R A Wilkins, G J De Lacey, R Flor

    Clinical Radiology
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Mendelson's syndrome, or acid pulmonary aspiration, presents as diffuse alveolar filling on imaging. Early recognition is key for distinct treatment, differentiating it from other conditions with similar radiographic appearances.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Radiology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Mendelson's syndrome, characterized by acid pulmonary aspiration, poses diagnostic challenges.
    • The syndrome requires timely intervention, as treatment differs significantly from other causes of similar radiographic findings.

    Observation:

    • Four cases of Mendelson's syndrome are presented, all exhibiting an acute diffuse alveolar filling pattern on chest imaging.
    • This radiographic pattern is not specific to Mendelson's syndrome.

    Findings:

    • Radiologists can suspect Mendelson's syndrome when diffuse alveolar filling is observed without other apparent causes or signs of left ventricular failure.
    • The study highlights the importance of considering Mendelson's syndrome in the differential diagnosis of acute alveolar filling.

    Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis of Mendelson's syndrome facilitates appropriate and distinct treatment protocols.
    • Enhanced radiologist-clinician communication can improve early recognition and management of acid pulmonary aspiration.
