The hilum of the lung is a wedge-shaped depression on the mediastinal surface of each lung, where the bronchus, blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics enter or leave the viscus. Synonyms for the hilum are hilum pulmonis and porta pulmonis.
In this session, we will start by looking at normal hilar anatomy in the child on different imaging modalities. We will then look at the various pathologies that cause enlargement, displacement and altered shape of the hilum.
