| | Diagnosis confirmation: | Total constellation (Consens) | |
| | Which DD would be also possible with the radiological findings: | Also a one-sided extremely large thymus can cause the same decrease in transparency. A decrease in respiration of the left lung would be considered in the first image; the clinical symptoms would, however, change in the course, so that this diagnosis falls by the wayside after the initial image. | |
