Center: CT scan at the level of the carina showing that the normal mediastinal structures are surrounded by low-density fat which is extrinsically compressing the mainstem bronchi. Bottom: follow-up CT scan 1 year after withdrawal of systemic corticosteroids which shows that the mediastinal fat deposits have disappeared and mainstem bronchi appear normal.
