It is unusual for pneumothorax to occur spontaneously during pregnancy. Its occurrence during or following caesarean section is extremely uncommon with only three other cases reported previously. In none of the reported cases, was the caesarean section performed under spinal anaesthesia. We report the successful management of a multigravida female patient, who developed spontaneous pneumothorax following caesarean section, performed under spinal anaesthesia. Tube thoracostomy was required for management and the patient had an uneventful recovery.
气胸在孕期自发发生并不常见。剖宫产术中或术后发生气胸极为罕见,此前仅报道过另外3例。在所有已报道的病例中,均未在脊髓麻醉下进行剖宫产。我们报告了1例经产妇女性患者的成功治疗情况,该患者在脊髓麻醉下剖宫产术后发生了自发性气胸。治疗需要进行胸腔闭式引流,患者恢复顺利。
