Core Tip
Core Tip: The pulmonary lymphatic perfusion syndrome likely stems from an inherent variation in the lymphatic system, leading to various pulmonary lymphatic disorders. Clinically, it manifests as conditions such as plastic bronchitis, chylothorax, and interstitial lung disease. Recent advancements in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography have improved our understanding of these pathophysiologies and contributed to the development of interventional therapies.
