Abstract

Childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD) is a heterogeneous group of uncommon, mostly chronic pediatric pulmonary disorders characterized by impaired gas exchange and diffuse abnormalities on imaging. A subset of these diseases occurs more frequently in infants and young children than in older children and teenagers. Some of these disorders occur in certain clinical scenarios and/or have typical imaging features that can help the radiologist recognize when to suggest a possible diagnosis and potentially spare a child a lung biopsy. We review the clinical, histopathological and computed tomography features of chILD more prevalent in infancy, including diffuse developmental disorders, growth abnormalities, specific conditions of undefined etiology, and surfactant dysfunction mutations and related disorders, to familiarize the pediatric radiologist with this group of disorders.
