case_images: Chest computed tomography at different time points after treatment. (A-C) The day of admission. Multiple patchy exudations in both lungs, along with large consolidated shadows in the right lower lung. (D-I) Ten days after admission. CT pulmonary angiography indicated pulmonary artery trunk and left pulmonary artery thrombosis, with significant absorption of right lower lung consolidation and a slight increase in left lung exudation. (J-O) 2 weeks after discharge. CT pulmonary angiography showed shrinkage of pulmonary thrombosis in the pulmonary artery trunk and left pulmonary artery as well as significant absorption of exudations in both lungs. (red arrow indicates thrombus).

case_images: Upon arrival at our emergency department, a chest CT revealed multiple patchy exudations in both lungs, along with large consolidated shadows in the right lower lung (Figure 1A-C). Further examinations and imaging studies were undertaken, and CT pulmonary angiography indicated pulmonary artery trunk and left pulmonary artery thrombosis, with significant absorption of right lower lung consolidation and a slight increase in left lung exudation (Figure 1D-I); echocardiography revealed a 2.7 cm*1.7 cm echoic lesion in the pulmonary artery trunk, suggestive of thrombosis (Figure 2); and color Doppler ultrasound of veins in the bilateral upper and lower limbs showed no thrombosis. Two weeks after discharge, a follow-up CT pulmonary angiography showed shrinkage of pulmonary thrombosis in the pulmonary artery trunk and left pulmonary artery as well as significant absorption of exudations in both lungs (Figure 1J-O), and the D-dimer was reverting to normal.
case_images: Cardiac ultrasound imaging. Echocardiography revealed a 2.7 cm*1.7 cm echoic lesion in the pulmonary artery trunk, suggestive of thrombosis. (red arrow indicates thrombus).
