Spontaneous pneumothorax is a relatively common disease in the clinical practice setting and is generally recognized to occurs most often in slender young men. However, spontaneous pneumothorax that occurs bilaterally and simultaneously and progresses to tension pneumothorax has rarely been documented. Although spontaneous pneumothorax can be diagnosed based on the patient's medical history or information from ambulance personnel, it should be remembered that there are some rare cases of bilateral tension pneumothorax. Prompt and appropriate diagnosis and treatment are necessary for patients with such conditions, which may can be life-threatening.
自发性气胸是临床实践中一种相对常见的疾病，普遍认为最常发生于身材瘦长的年轻男性。然而，双侧同时发生且进展为张力性气胸的自发性气胸鲜有文献记载。虽然自发性气胸可根据患者病史或救护人员提供的信息进行诊断，但应记住存在一些双侧张力性气胸的罕见病例。对于患有此类可能危及生命状况的患者，及时且恰当的诊断和治疗是必要的。
