case_images: Axial and coronal reformatted CT scan images of the chest, mediastinal window. The images show dense consolidation with air bronchograms in the left lower lobe consistent with pneumonia. There is associated significant fluid in the left pleural space, in keeping with parapneumonic effusion. The coronal image shows ~7.8 cm elevation of the left hemidiaphragm relative to the right hemidiaphragm, resulting in severe left lung volume loss and mediastinal shift to the right.

case_images: A chest and abdominal CT scan with pulmonary angiogram revealed extensive left lower lobar pneumonia with parapneumonic effusion and severe left diaphragmatic eventration (severe elevation of the left hemidiaphragm) with compressive atelectasis of the left lower lobe and severe volume loss of the left hemithorax (Figure 1).
