[3] The batwing sign is symmetrical, usually showing ground glass appearance and spares the lung cortices. [4]

It is typically defined as an area of hazy opacification (x-ray) or increased attenuation (CT) due to air displacement by fluid, airway collapse, fibrosis , or a neoplastic process . [ 1 ]
