Les opacités en ailes de papillon siègent de part et d'autre des deux hiles, atteignant la base, mais respectant en général la périphérie des poumons et les sommets, le corps du papillon étant constitué par le médiastin [...] Cette répartition en ailes de papillon est pathognomonique d'une atteinte alvéolaire. Elle se voit essentiellement en cas d'œdème ou d'hémorragie pulmonaires. 1, record 1, French, - opacit%C3%A9%20en%20ailes%20de%20papillon
