Lung hernia is a distinctly rare event, regardless of its location and cause. Most lung hernias are acquired traumatic thoracic hernias. All previously reported cases of acquired spontaneous lung hernia involve some aspect of trauma, most commonly caused by vigorous coughing with a subsequent rib fracture. We report a case of totally atraumatic, acquired spontaneous lung hernia.
肺疝是一种极为罕见的病症，无论其位置和病因如何。大多数肺疝是后天性创伤性胸疝。此前报道的所有后天性自发性肺疝病例都涉及某种形式的创伤，最常见的是剧烈咳嗽后导致肋骨骨折。我们报告一例完全无创伤的后天性自发性肺疝病例。
