SummaryIn a patient 53 years old, lipiodol was injected in the rigbt sub-diaphragmatic space in order to visualize a suspected abcess. Unfortunately the product was injected in the liver. It resulted in the visualisation of the sus hepatic veins, later in the filling of the pulmonary vessels. In the lower part of the right lung, where atelectasia occured, the larger branche of the pulmonary vessel remained a longer time filled than in the other parts of the lungs.
