The document describes x-ray findings of mitral stenosis of varying severity. For mild mitral stenosis, chest x-rays may be normal but show an enlarged left atrium. Moderate to severe mitral stenosis is seen as an enlarged left atrium, elevated left main bronchus, and displaced descending aorta on chest x-rays. Severe mitral stenosis additionally shows enlarged pulmonary arteries and veins as well as displacement of the esophagus. Differential diagnoses include pectus excavatum and partial absence of the pericardium.
