Pulmonary hernia, also known as lung herniation or intercostal herniation, is best explained as the lung parenchyma protruding beyond the confines of the thoracic wall. This rare finding can be classified as congenital or acquired. Acquired pulmonary herniations are often the complication of blunt or penetrating trauma to the chest wall. This report describes a two-year-old male who fell onto a rigid post, striking his left lower chest. Imaging studies demonstrated a small pneumothorax as well as pulmonary herniation. The patient underwent a diagnostic thoracoscopy and repair of a pulmonary hernia within the 7th intercostal space without complication. In this case report, we aim to add to the limited body of existing literature on the surgical management of pulmonary hernias.
肺疝，也称为肺膨出或肋间疝，最好解释为肺实质突出到胸壁范围之外。这种罕见的情况可分为先天性或后天性。后天性肺疝通常是胸壁钝性或穿透性创伤的并发症。本报告描述了一名两岁男性，他摔倒在一根坚硬的柱子上，撞到了左下胸部。影像学检查显示有小量气胸以及肺疝。患者接受了诊断性胸腔镜检查，并在第7肋间间隙修复了肺疝，未出现并发症。在本病例报告中，我们旨在补充关于肺疝外科治疗的现有有限文献。
