Abstract

We present the case of a 57-year-old woman who presented with the acute onset of chest pain and dyspnea, which started while undergoing acupuncture for neck pain. A bedside ultrasound revealed bilateral pneumothoraces, which were confirmed radiographically. We discuss the details of the case, the sonographic features of pneumothorax, and the role of bedside ultrasonography in the assessment of an acutely dyspneic patient.
