FINDINGS

Normal cardiomediastinal contour.  Note the normal appearing thymic shadow.

Lateral to this in the right lung mid zone is patchy atelectasis and consolidation involving the right upper lobe.  This is likely infectious in nature.  Remaining lungs and pleura are clear.

Suboptimal opacification of the pulmonary arteries.With this in mind, there are filling defects extending into the right
and left main pulmonary arteries in keeping with extensive central pulmonary emboli. 

There is gas noted in the right side of the neck as well as the pneumomediastinum. 
The lungs are clear.  No effusion shown.  Cardiac and mediastinal contours
are satisfactory.  CT evaluation of the chest and neck could be considered if clinically indicated.
