Case 39

Emergency & Trauma, ICU/Surgery, Mediastinum / Age 31-60, Chest Tube, Clamshell Sternotomy, Lung Transplant, Pneumopericardium, Pneumothorax, Portable

Discussion

This case demonstrates both a right pneumothorax and pneumopericardium. In this case, the cause was iatrogenic during a bronchoscopy. A right chest tube is in place, though a small apical pneumothorax is still visible.

Clamshell sternotomy closure hardware is also seen, indicating that this is a lung transplant patient.
