The intersection of neurodevelopmental disorders and respiratory complications presents unique challenges in pediatric medicine. When treating patients with cerebral palsy, particularly those who are bed-bound, respiratory infections can rapidly become serious concerns requiring immediate medical attention. This case study examines the radiological findings and clinical implications in a 14-year-old male patient with cerebral palsy presenting with acute respiratory symptoms.

Bronchiolitis represents one of the most common lower respiratory tract infections in pediatric patients, with characteristic radiological patterns that aid in diagnosis and management. Understanding these patterns, along with clinical correlation, is crucial for healthcare providers managing respiratory infections in children.

Pediatric pneumonia remains a significant cause of morbidity worldwide, requiring prompt recognition and appropriate management. The integration of clinical findings, laboratory markers, and radiological features plays a crucial role in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, particularly in emergency settings where rapid decision-making is essential.
