A case of contralateral pneumothorax after pneumonectomy was reported. Intrathoracic drainage was performed and pneumothorax was healed. Recurrent pneumothorax was occurred in this patient and intrathoracic drainage was performed again and pneumothorax was healed. We suspected that bulla was the cause of pneumothorax and thought that contralateral pneumothorax after pneumonectomy must be carefully follow-up.
报告了1例肺切除术后对侧气胸的病例。进行了胸腔闭式引流，气胸治愈。该患者出现复发性气胸，再次进行胸腔闭式引流，气胸治愈。我们怀疑肺大疱是气胸的病因，并认为肺切除术后对侧气胸必须密切随访。
