Abstract
Interstitial emphysema of the lung is a well-recognized complication of the idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome. Its incidence has increased with the recent more aggressive therapy for this disease, and persistence of the emphysema in a large number of patients was observed. The clinical complications, changes in the roentgenographic pattern and, particularly, the characteristic morphologic findings in these patients, which delineate persistent pulmonary emphysema as a distinct entiy were described.
