Abstract
Computed tomography of the chest is often useful in evaluating lung consolidation
and endobronchial obstruction. Our case demonstrates a consolidated lung associated
with endobronchial obstruction and an interesting finding of enhanced pulmonary vasculature
contrasted against surrounding pulmonary parenchyma of low density. We believe this
represents the computed tomography appearance of drowned lung.
