Abstract

In a patient with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis and a non-expandable lung, CT and three-dimensional rendering showed a bulla-like mediastinal air pocket that regressed on follow-up imaging and lacked an autopsy correlate, supporting intrathoracic extrapleural air rather than a true pulmonary bulla.
