Attention has been called to the frequent occurrence of atelectasis in tuberculosis,1in bronchiectasis,2, 3, 4in minor upper respiratory infections.5Usually the collapse of a whole lobe or nearly a whole lobe has been described. The so-called basal triangular shadow as evidence of lower lobe collapse, the triangular shadow at the apex in atelectasis of the upper lobe, as well as the appearance of the collapsed middle lobe have been described in detail by numerous writers.6, 7, 8, 9, 10In...Bibliography1.
