In the available literature, this pathology is described in the form of separate observations with an empirical selection of therapeutic measures. The appearance of lipophages in a bronchial aspirate is recognized as a pathognomonic sign of lipoid pneumonia. There is no etiological treatment of the disease. The effectiveness of intensive therapy, according to available sources, depends on the severity of respiratory failure and on the timing of the start of complex bronchodrainage therapy, and theoretically the most attractive is kinesitherapy. Only one observation describes the use of bronchial lavage with sequential separate intubation of the main bronchi. Hormone therapy is considered effective, but the physiological basis for its use is not presented. The published observation is characterized by a late start of treatment due to a long diagnostic search. The applied therapeutic measures are given and described in detail with an assessment of the expected and achieved practical benefits. It was shown that beneficial effects were due to the use of bronchodrainage therapy techniques, including the jet high-frequency artificial ventilation of the lungs. There are doubts about the appropriateness of the use of corticosteroids in this pathology.</p>lipoid pneumonialipophagesintrapulmonary percussion therapybronchodrainage therapyлипоидная пневмониялипофагиинтрапульмональный перкуссионаторбронходренажная терапия[Морозова Л.В., Ермилов О.В., Бочарова М.А., Волочаева Е.М.
