These are not lung lobe

These are not lung lobe torsion. Ill put a couple of lung lobe torsion clip next to peter’s to show the difference or see these links form the basic search:

Also lung lobe torsions tend to have hemorrhgagic effusion unless th ethoracic duct is involved then it can be chylous. Both the examples im having kelly post next to peter were sudden onset of clinical signs and hemorrhagic effusion. That combination should keep LLT in mind. In the examples I added the cleaner lung consolidation is right middle in a collie the mushier one wiht the rib artifact is left cranial in a pug.

Here are some notes from ABVP prep on LLT:

Rotation on the bronchus without rotation of the vascular supply. Acute fulminant respiratory crisis

Deep chested dogs, pugs, Yorkshire, beagles and poodles

Right middle long lobe in cats

Right middle large dogs (long narrow large volume) and left cranial small dogs most often, all lungs possible

Hemorrhagic pleural effusion or Chyle and Chyle brings bad prognosis

Predisposition: recent trauma thoracic surgery thoracic disease.

Clinical signs: acute and chronic coughing bloody cough dyspnea epistaxis anorexia lethargy fever

Radiographs: pleural effusion consolidation bronchogram’s mediastinal shift pneumothorax pneumomediastinum

DDX: PTE pulmonary contusion neoplasia pneumonia pulm hemorrhage coagulopathy pyothorax pulmonary abscess diaphragmatic hernia

Hepatization of lung lobe

Triple ligate lobar artery followed by the vein, stapling device ligasure, thoracostomy tube for 24 hours until air accumulation stops and fluid is less than 2 mL per kilogram per day
