We report the case of a 5-month-old male infant with acute LP caused by accidental aspiration of a large amount of mineral oil. We present the imaging findings in the computed tomography scans performed during his hospitalization and focus on the residual abnormalities seen on a scan performed 7-years after the incident. This, to the best of our knowledge, is the longest follow-up report of an acute exogenous LP patient and the only case that demonstrates non-resolving abnormalities in a pediatric patient after a single acute episode of mineral oil aspiration. }, volume = 4, pages = {2}, issn = {2156-7514}, issn = {2156-5597}, url = {https://doi.org/10.4103/2156-7514.126028}, doi = {10.4103/2156-7514.126028} }
