Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) typically presents with hypoxemia, cyst-like formations 4-10 mm in diameter, mediastinal shift and atelectasis of the contralateral lung, and air bronchograms. Hypercapnia and episodes of apnea may also be present. Hypertension is not typically associated with PIE. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it includes all the common presentations of PIE.
