Torsion of lobes of the lung is a rare complication following lung transplantation. We present a case of counterclockwise torsion of the right lung allograft and review of nine additional cases in the literature of lobar torsion following lung transplantation. A high degree of suspicion is needed for early diagnosis with rapid surgical intervention to preserve lung viability.
肺叶扭转是肺移植术后一种罕见的并发症。我们报告一例右肺移植肺逆时针扭转的病例,并回顾文献中另外9例肺移植术后肺叶扭转的病例。早期诊断需要高度怀疑,并迅速进行手术干预以维持肺的存活能力。
