Lobular septal thickening in both lungs with visible grid shadows is an imaging finding that refers to an increase in the thickness of the lobular septa in both lungs and grid-like shadows in both lung fields.
Thickening of the interlobular septa in both lungs is a pathological feature of fibrosis of the lung tissue, which may be due to autoimmune factors, bacterial or parasitic infections, and the organism often presents with varying degrees of respiratory distress, and even respiratory failure in severe cases.
Imaging shows lattice shadows mostly indicating pathological changes of fibrosis in the lung tissues. Long-term lung fibrosis can lead to dyspnea, and people with long-term dyspnea can have signs such as pestle-like fingers (toes).
For those who have thickening of the interlobular septa of both lungs with grid shadows on imaging, it is necessary to actively search for the cause of lung tissue fibrosis and treat the cause. In addition, for patients with dyspnea and hypoxia, symptomatic treatment such as oxygen inhalation can be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
