Post-pneumonectomy syndrome is a well-recognised but uncommon late complication of pneumonectomy. Usually occurring after right-sided surgery, the mediastinal contents are rotated and displaced into the right hemithorax, producing airways or oesophageal compression. We report a case in which the radiological features and symptoms of post-pneumonectomy syndrome appeared to be precipitated by the development of a complex tuberculous tracheobronchial stenosis that resolved after the insertion of a bespoke Dumon stent.
肺切除术后综合征是一种已被充分认识但并不常见的肺切除术后晚期并发症。通常发生在右侧手术之后，纵隔内容物旋转并移位至右半胸，导致气道或食管受压。我们报告一例，其中肺切除术后综合征的放射学特征和症状似乎是由复杂的结核性气管支气管狭窄的发展所诱发，在植入定制的杜蒙支架后狭窄得以缓解。
