As seen in our teenage population, e-cigarette, or vaping, product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) is characterized by centrilobular ground-glass nodules and ground-glass opacities with subpleural sparing. The imaging findings are most consistent with acute lung injury resulting from toxic inhalation. Because adolescent pediatric patients might not be forthcoming with their history of electronic cigarette use, it is important for the pediatric radiologist to be aware of the imaging patterns of this disease.
