This chest X ray shows increased pulmonary vascularity and a dilated pulmonary trunk.
In this PA view, the
pulmonary vasculature markings are clearly visible in the outer third of the lung fields. The convex shadow just beneath the small aortic knob reflects an
enlarged main pulmonary artery. Cardiomegaly is also present, as evidenced by the
cardiothoracic ratio greater than fifty percent.
These findings are compatible with an intracardiac left-to-right shunt.
