Paraseptal emphysema is characterized by predominant involvement of the distal alveoli and their ducts and sacs. It is characteristically bounded by any pleural surface and the interlobular septa. This emphysema is characterized by subpleural and peribronchovascular regions of low attenuation separated by intact interlobular septa, sometimes associated with bullae. [PMID:18195376]
