Postpneumonectomy syndrome is a rare complication secondary to postsurgical anatomic changes in the pneumonectomy space. Patients present with marked dyspnea on exertion secondary to airflow limitation from proximal airway compression and overdistention of the remaining lung because of mediastinal shift. Postpneumonectomy syndrome is treated by surgical repositioning of the mediastinum. Knowledge of the clinical and radiological features will enable prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
肺切除术后综合征是肺切除术后肺切除空间解剖结构改变继发的一种罕见并发症。患者因近端气道受压导致气流受限，以及由于纵隔移位导致余肺过度膨胀，从而在运动时出现明显的呼吸困难。肺切除术后综合征通过纵隔手术复位进行治疗。了解其临床和放射学特征将有助于及时诊断和适当治疗。
