Multiple pulmonary nodules.

A 48-year-old post-menopausal female was referred to us in view of her chest radiograph showing multiple pulmonary nodules (Figure 1). She complained of fever and arthralgia since one month. She had been diagnosed as allergic rhinitis with mild episodic asthma since childhood on the basis of symptomatology and was on inhaled steroids and bronchodilators for the same. There was no history of receiving oral corticosteroids or leukotreine antagonists for asthma. Clinical examination did not reveal any abnormality.

Constrictive bronchiolitis: a CT scan appearance.

Bronchiolitis obliterans or constrictive bronchiolitis is a distant clinical entity with obstructive airway disease. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the thorax can often suggest the diagnosis with the characteristic "mosaic pattern". We present here two cases of bronchiolitis obliterans in which the HRCT showed the presence of this characteristic appearance.

Flow volume loops: postural significance.

Upper airway obstruction is an important but often unrecognised cause of dyspnoea and ventilatory failure. Flow volume loop remains the most sensitive method to detect upper airway obstruction. We report a patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis who showed evidence of upper airway obstruction on the flow volume loop only in the supine position. It is important to recognise as it may be missed during the conventional method of performing a pulmonary function test in sitting posture and also because surgical intervention should be considered in patients with tracheoesophageal compression due to a thyroid swelling.
