Lung Point Sign in Ultrasound Diagnostics of Pneumothorax: Imitations and Variants

Original language description

Background. Pulmonary ultrasound plays a key role in the diagnosis of pneumothorax in emergency and intensive-care medicine. The lung point sign has been generally considered a pathognomonic diagnostic sign. Recently, several other situations have been published that can mimic the lung point, as well as a few different variants of the true lung point sign. Materials and Methods. Based on years of monitoring the literature and collecting our database of ultrasound findings, we prepared a review of ultrasound findings mimicking the lung point sign and ultrasound variants of the true lung point sign. Results. We present four imitations of the lung point sign (physiological lung point sign, pseudo-lung point sign, bleb point sign, and pleurofascial point sign) and two variants of the true lung point sign (double lung point sign and hydro point sign) documented by images and video records. Conclusions. Knowledge of ultrasound imitations and variants of the lung point sign may increase the reliability of pneumothorax diagnosis and may reduce the risk of performing unindicated interventions.
