Abstract

Connective tissue diseases are often associated with lung diseases that lead to high morbidity and mortality, including interstitial disease, airway disease, pleural lesions, and vascular disease. High resolution CT offers high sensitivity for detecting parenchymal disease and potentially reversible lesions, thus helping to guide treatment. This article emphasizes interstitial pneumonia in association with connective tissue disease and the characteristics that differentiate this entity from idiopathic types. Likewise, we review the most common pulmonary manifestations of each connective tissue disease with the aim of providing the radiologist with a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of these diseases in daily clinical practice.

Keywords:
Connective tissue disease
Interstitial pneumonia

Resumen

Las enfermedades del tejido conectivo se asocian con frecuencia a un amplio número de patologías como las enfermedades intersticiales y de la vía aérea, las lesiones pleurales y la patología vascular, que presentan una alta morbilidad y mortalidad en estos pacientes. La tomografía computarizada de alta resolución tiene una alta sensibilidad en la detección de la enfermedad parenquimatosa y de la vía aérea, lo que permite diagnosticar la fibrosis establecida, o bien lesiones potencialmente reversibles, y facilita la correcta indicación del tratamiento en estos pacientes. En este artículo se hace una especial incidencia en las neumonías intersticiales asociadas a las enfermedades del tejido conectivo y en sus características diferenciales con respecto a las formas idiopáticas. También, se revisan las manifestaciones pulmonares más frecuentes en cada conectivopatía, con la intención de proporcionar al radiólogo un enfoque práctico en el diagnóstico y manejo de estas afecciones en la clínica diaria.
