Case Discussion
A good example of the silhouette sign in this case identifying a right middle lobe pneumonia.
The right heart border is effaced indicative of consolidation in the medial segment of the right middle lobe.
A follow up film in 6 weeks after antibiotics is wise in this group of patients to ensure resolution.
