The studies were selected from among those indexed in the Brazilian Virtual Library of Health, LILACS, Indice Bibliogr\u00e1fico Espa\u00f1ol de Ciencias de la Salud, Medline, Cochrane Library, SciELO, and PubMed databases. The search was carried out between June and July of 2016. Five articles were included and reviewed, all of them carried out in the last five years, published in English, and coming from different countries. The sample size in the selected studies ranged from 43 to 56 patients, with a predominance of adult and elderly subjects. The tomographic findings in patients with dysphagia-related aspiration were varied, including bronchiectasis, bronchial wall thickening, pulmonary nodules, consolidations, pleural effusion, ground-glass attenuation, atelectasis, septal thickening, fibrosis, and air trapping. Evidence suggests that chest CT findings in patients with aspiration are diverse. In this review, it was not possible to establish a consensus that could characterize a pattern of pulmonary aspiration in patients with dysphagia, further studies of the topic being needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1806-37562016000000273","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,29]],"date-time":"2017-07-29T19:17:19Z","timestamp":1501355839000},"page":"313-318","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Chest
