We report the case of a 25-year-old African-American man presenting to the Henry Ford Hospital emergency department with acute dyspnea secondary to a pneumothorax resulting from a migratory acupuncture needle. The patient received acupuncture treatment approximately 5 years prior to this presentation for treatment of posttraumatic chronic right shoulder pain. Chest radiography revealed retained needles in his right shoulder girdle and a needle overlying the thoracic cage with an attendant pneumothorax. Catheter aspiration for simple pneumothorax provided immediate symptomatic relief. Video-assisted thoracoscopy was then used to remove the migratory acupuncture needle from the chest wall. The patient recovered without complication and was discharged to home.
我们报告了一例25岁非裔美国男性病例，该患者因游走性针灸针导致气胸而出现急性呼吸困难，前往亨利·福特医院急诊科就诊。该患者在此次就诊前约5年接受过针灸治疗，以治疗创伤后慢性右肩疼痛。胸部X线检查显示其右肩胛带处有残留针，胸廓上方有一根针，并伴有气胸。单纯性气胸的导管抽吸术立即缓解了症状。随后通过电视辅助胸腔镜从胸壁取出了游走性针灸针。患者康复且无并发症，随后出院回家。
