Pulmonary opacities with subpleural and peribronchovascular sparing was a commonly observed pattern of EVALI in the pediatric population at this institution. A CXR may not be sufficiently sensitive in diagnosing EVALI, and radiologists and clinicians should exercise caution when excluding EVALI based on the lack of a pulmonary opacity. Caution should also be exercised when excluding EVALI solely based on the lack of respiratory symptoms. Despite extensive pulmonary involvement at presentation, findings may resolve on short-term follow-up imaging.
