Abstract
MORA, SERGIO; PRIETO, ENRIQUE and SANCHEZ, JULLY MARIANA. CAVITARY CRYPTOGENIC ORGANIZED PNEUMONIA AND ABNORMALITIES OF THE BASAL GANGLIA: CASE REPORT. rev.fac.med [online]. 2008, vol.16, n.1, pp.115-122. ISSN 0121-5256.
Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia (COP) is a pulmonary disorder with a wide spectrum of radiological features. A case of a young patient, 16 years old is shown with a CAT appearance of multiple cavitary nodules in both lungs that responded with a complete resolution after corticosteroid therapy. This patient also reveals abnormalities of the basal ganglia as the result of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy associated with the acute presentation of this disorder.
Keywords : Pneumonia; basal ganglia.
