s/l hilectasis

Dr. is reporting the results of a chest x-ray and states that patient was found to have bilateral pleural effusions and s/l hilectasis.  I found the definition of ectasis, but there is a clear HI and maybe even an L before the "ectasis."  Is there such a thing as high ectasis?

TIA!

• s/l hilectasis - rmb
  • atelectasis - TamB
  • : hilar atelectasis - Txczech
  • atelectasis nm - ER MT
    • That definitely fits with the patient's symptoms, but I'm not sure that I hear all that- Thank - rmb
