Croup
The posterior-anterior chest x-ray may show the classic steeple sign in croup, which indicates subglottic narrowing secondary to edema. Overdistention of the hypopharynx with subglottic haziness may be seen on the lateral view.

Imaging in Croup
The steeple sign on AP radiographs is not specific for croup and may be seen in some children with epiglottitis. The steeple sign can also be absent in some children with croup. A pseudo-steeple sign, which is a normal variant, may be seen at times during the respiratory cycle in some children without croup.

A Catastrophic Presentation of Adult Croup
A 63-year-old man presented with severe sore throat, productive cough, stridor, hoarseness, dysphagia, dyspnea, and fever for 2 days. Chest X-ray showed subglottic airway narrowing with a “steeple sign” (Figures 1A and 1B, arrow).An hour later, arterial blood gas (F i O 2, 1.0) showed pH 7.16, Pa CO 2 60, and Pa O 2 78 mm Hg.
