Quiz time... paediatric x-ray






Here is the chest x-ray of a seven year old boy admitted to our ward last week. He had a three and a half year history of persistent cough.  When he tried to play football he became breathless more quickly than his friends.
He had received a number of medicines from various clinics including courses of antibiotics and anti-heart failure medication but nothing had made much difference.

What do you think is the underlying problem?

What would you do about it?
