==Key CT Examples in Churg-Strauss syndrome==
* Bilateral ground-glass opacity can be seen in a patchy or subpleural distribution, with inclination most commonly occurring in the lower zone portion of the lung.
* Consolidations are commonly seen in a subpleural and lobular distribution. These consolidations generally present as hemorrhagic necrosis.
* Centrilobular nodules that appear in abundance are seen. They typically are less than 5 milometers. They are commonly seen in the lesion of the ground-glass opacity.

Overview

On Chest CT, Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is characterized by, bilateral ground-glass opacity, consolidation, centrilobular nodules, and bronchial wall thickening.[1]

CT

On Chest CT, Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is characterized by, bilateral ground-glass opacity, consolidation, centrilobular nodules, and bronchial wall thickening.[2]

  • Bilateral ground-glass opacity can be seen in a patchy or subpleural distribution, with inclination most commonly occurring in the lower zone portion of the lung.
  • Consolidations are commonly seen in a subpleural and lobular distribution. These consolidations generally present as hemorrhagic necrosis.
  • Centrilobular nodules that appear in abundance are seen. They typically are less than 5 milometers. They are commonly seen in the lesion of the ground-glass opacity.
