Pediatric respiratory emergencies require careful radiological interpretation to guide appropriate clinical management. Chest X-rays serve as crucial diagnostic tools in evaluating acute respiratory conditions, particularly in distinguishing between various causes of respiratory distress. This case study examines the radiological findings in a 10-year-old female presenting with acute respiratory symptoms, highlighting the characteristic patterns of airway inflammation and hyperinflation.

In pediatric radiology, encountering rare anatomical variations alongside acute respiratory conditions presents unique diagnostic challenges. Situs inversus totalis, a congenital condition where major visceral organs are reversed from their normal positions, requires careful interpretation of radiological findings, particularly when complicated by acute respiratory infections. This case study examines a 3-month-old male patient presenting with significant respiratory symptoms and the radiological implications of this anatomical variation.
