edema.
: من المحاضرة
Septal lines, also known as Kerley lines, are seen when the interlobular septa in the
pulmonary interstitium become prominent. This may be because of lymphatic engorgement
or edema of the connective tissues of the interlobular septa. They usually occur when
pulmonary capillary wedge pressures reach 20-25 mmHg
Classification
Kerley A lines
These are 2-6 cm long oblique lines that are <1 mm thick and course towards the hila. They
represent thickening of the interlobular septa
Kerley B lines
These are 1-2 cm thin lines in the peripheries of the lung. They are perpendicular to and
extend out to the pleural surface . They represent thickened sub pleural interlobular septa
and are usually seen at the lung bases.

CXR of adult, PA view shows:
Photo on the right:
Normal cardiac shadow, cardiothoracic ratio is less than 50%
Photo on the left:
Increase cardiac shadow
Cardiothoracic ratio is more than 50%
Diagnosis= cardiomegaly
CXR of adult, PA views show:
Bilateral patchy opacities in both lung fields with enlarged cardic shadow
Kerley lines are seen

Diagnosis=interstitial pulmonary edema
Note:
Classification of kerley lines:
Kerley A lines
These are 2-6 cm long oblique lines that are <1 mm thick and course towards the hila. They
represent thickening of the interlobular septa
Kerley B lines
These are 1-2 cm thin lines in the peripheries of the lung. They are perpendicular to and
extend out to the pleural surface . They represent thickened sub pleural interlobular septa
and are usually seen at the lung bases.

mediastinum .
Diagnosis= transposition of great blood vessels
CXR of adult, PA view shows:
